Our Mission
All jobs are temporary. We make them better.
Flexible
We believe in the power of a flexible workforce—temporary talent, contingent labor, the extended workforce, contractors, freelancers—to help companies be more agile and responsive to changing business priorities and market conditions. We also believe that work shouldn’t be constrained to the four walls of an office, a 9-to-5 schedule, or a traditional career path.
Empowering
We believe that leaving your career path in the hands of your employer is old-school. Talent should be in the driver’s seat of their careers, equipped with the tools, skill-building, and autonomy to forge their own path. At the same time, talent shouldn’t have to go it alone when it comes to job searching and career decisions—they deserve a partner to coach and advise them along the way.
Inclusive
We believe that a diverse workplace delivers better outcomes for companies and their workforce. An inclusive environment—where different backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives are valued—is critical to ensuring everyone can contribute, grow their careers, and thrive.
Equal
We believe that the contingent workforce should be on an equal playing field with their traditional employee peers, particularly when it comes to employee benefits. Contingent talent deserve the same quality and level of benefits as employees, including comprehensive health insurance, paid sick leave, retirement plans, and more.
