The global accounting and professional services firm EY has developed GigNow, an external online talent platform.
Like PWC's Talent Exchange and Deloitte's Open Talent Community, the goal of GigNow is to help EY find and engage skilled independent workers - both for EY's internal use and for use on client projects.
They recently released a short video (below) that we think nicely captures 3 key things highly skilled independent workers are looking for in terms of assignments. These are:
- Access to diverse and interesting gigs
- To be welcomed by the client and treated as part of the team
- The opportunity the learn and build skills
In a 2016 Harvard Business Review article on external talent platforms we said:
We expect to see many other large corporations deploying independent external talent platforms and exchanges over the next two to three years, as 21st-century social, economic, demographic, and technological trends change the way we all think about talent.
GigNow is another example of this growing trend.
