Foreign Employment Outsourcing – Go Global with Experts

Foreword

This White Paper expands on the latest global research that identifies how talent landscape is being transformed creating a new reality for PAYROLL Departments nationally and globally in the moment.

Forward thinking in corporate leadership is opening doors for a timely shift of generational expectations for gaining millennial talent between the ages of 25-34-year-old applicants who are equipped to address contingent worker technology demands globally, required right now and in the future.

The current outlook for the Global Contingent Worker Sector shows a strong need for a complete alteration in Human Resources (PAYROLL) strategies and winning new employees with much different portfolios from expansive talent searches of past years.

The Global Contingent Worker Technology Sector is facing high demand for new talent strategies even more than within the Energy and Resources Industries, Consumer Business, Life Sciences and Medical Industries, and even the Media Industry Sectors, which are already moving forward with talent seeking and retaining strategies because of the past five years of developing smarter products, embedded sensor technologies and the higher demand for the Internet of things globally.

Manufacturing corporations must find new opportunities to help them catch up with new work force requirements like never before. Sequensant has inside information tracking of notable trends like US Industrial Products, Deloitte Consulting LLP, to successfully keep monitoring demand and changing strategies ahead of the global curve.

Global corporations can rely on our up-to-date strategies and services to assist them in mobility and talent outsourcing including GEO and PEO compliance.

What kind of people actually make a living as freelancers?

 

By Justine Hofherr @Jhofherr29
Boston.com Staff | 10.22.15 | 11:13 AM
With freelancers making up roughly 34 percent of the U.S. labor force, you might be wondering just who these people are – what kinds of jobs they have, how many projects they work on at once, and how good they are at their gigs. Thanks to a new report from LinkedIn, a little more light has been shed on the life of the average professional freelancer, or at least the ones who use the business-oriented social network.

LinkedIn analyst Lucy Chen dove into the freelance economy by looking for LinkedIn members who used the word “freelance” in their job title, then aggregated the most common industries and skill sets found. While industries ranged from media and communication, to business consulting, engineering, and education, those in the arts and design field vastly outweighed other fields at 46 percent of LinkedIn freelancers.

But if you were solely imagining these freelancers working in fine arts or graphic design, you’d be wrong. Graphic designers made up 20 percent of the field, and photographers comprised another 19 percent, but there were also illustrators, web designers, makeup artists, and musicians.

Chen figured out roughly how many gigs freelancers were juggling at once by finding members with more than one current role listed on their LinkedIn profile without an end date. On average, she found that most freelancers work on about two gigs at once, though Chen did not determine how many of these people were working full-time jobs concurrently, or working entirely on multiple freelance gigs – but there were clearly both types of freelancers.

Your guide to “co-working” spaces in Boston:

Workbar (Locations in Boston, Cambridge and Somerville): Workbar wants you to “reimagine how you work” in each of its three locations, which all have different amenities to fit your needs. The company caters to startups, small businesses, independent professionals and remote teams, all of whom can rent out space. If you are on your own, you can either pay $30 per day, $125 per month for 5 days a month, $350 per month for 24/7 access, or $600 a month if you want a private office.

Chen also discovered that in general, more women on LinkedIn freelance than men. Men make up a larger percentage of LinkedIn users, but women make up more of the social network’s freelance labor force, she writes.

Just how good are freelancers at their jobs? If you judge them by their LinkedIn profiles, they’re pretty darn skilled. Chen reported that when comparing freelancers to non-freelancers with the same job title, freelancers on average had more recommendations, skills listed, endorsements, group memberships, and connections than their counterparts.

However, it’s worth noting that the preponderance of freelancers with “better” profiles might have more to do with the nature of their job than the quality of their work. If you’re trying to land gigs based on your name alone, you’ll probably have to put more of yourself out there on networks like LinkedIn since you don’t have the reputation of a company to rely on.

If you’re on the fence about whether you want to leave your stable job to freelance (or even just freelance on the side), you might be interested to find that a recent survey by independent research firm Edelman Berland, and commissioned by Upwork, a freelance talent marketplace, and the Freelancers Union, a nonprofit freelancer advocacy group, reported that 60 percent of freelancers who left traditional employment and have been freelancing for at least the past year now earn more than they did as a traditional employee.

And if higher pay doesn’t make you optimistic about freelancing, workers interviewed in the survey also reported freedom and a flexible lifestyle as the best benefits of the job.

The changing supply/demand relationship in global contingent workforce management

The global contingent workforce management space is necessarily evolving as the supply and demand solutions are changing to address the fluid nature of the marketplace.
This can complicate or streamline the process. Obviously the streamlining solution is the goal for every organization.

One solution is the creation of so called “Global PEO’s” . This is a misnomer, however, in that the “co-employer” relationship is only recognized in the US. A more accurate description is Global Employment Outsourcing, a term coined by Safeguard World International. To GEO an employee is to engage Safeguard’s Global Employment Outsourcing and engage that employee legally and compliently with Safeguard as employer of record in more than 125 countries.

Regardless, the worker is a contingent workforce employee placed in a country where the employer may not have a legal presence but has a need to employ workers.
