Why settle for anything less than a complete solution?
Marketplaces allow room for error: Unpredictable event talent, minimal account support, heavy dependency on technology and a lack of worker compliance leaves too much room for things to go wrong with your meetings.
Marketplaces leave work on your plate: The larger talent pool of a marketplace comes with some unreliable Suppliers since the vetting process falls mainly on the hiring manager. This rapidly becomes time-consuming and risky.
Marketplaces invite costly & reputational risks: Contingent Workforce MSPs find the precise skill set according to your needs while Marketplaces robotically bid out opportunities. Plannernet grants access to the best industry talent, while keeping a finger on the pulse of evolving contingent labor laws, delivering you a robust strategy and a competitive advantage.
