Around 1 out of 5 jobs in the United States are filled by contract workers, recent studies show. In fact, independent contractors could make up half of the U.S. workforce within the next decade. This trend also is keeping pace internationally.

In this webinar, you’ll learn:

• What top organizations in the industry are doing to solve current challenges in the contractor space.
