Herndon, VA -- January 21, 2009 – According to new research announced today, the segment of the U.S. workforce that includes contract talent, such as independent contractors, freelancers, and independent consultants, is growing at more than twice the rate of traditional employment.
The study, released today by HCI and industry partners, examines the use of contract talent in U.S. organizations. Gene Zaino, President & CEO of MVO Partners, noted, “As the workforce changes to reflect the emerging knowledge economy, organizations increasingly rely on contract talent – independent contractors, freelancers, and project-based consultants -- to augment and even replace their traditional workforce.”
The Contract Talent Research Practice Area at HCI, which produced the study, was formed to examine the use of contract talent and provide strategic thought leadership.
