Hey Sean. This is pretty interesting. My only concern would be that longer articles could be more difficult to "digest" for the reader and therefore less engaging. I would expect a viral professional article to need to be long and a viral casual article to need to be shorter. Is that something you have ever researched ?
Hey Pablo, congrats for the article, really well written and extremely interesting.
I was wondering if you had any interesting input regarding what is better for a blog between writing a short article every day or a longer in-depth article once a week. Thanks, Michele
ACA is 0.10 an hour. If the worker works long enough s/he apply for Medicare. If you want you can offer additional benefits. This is obviously not true for full time employees.
I am happy to see Eden following the path of BlueCrew and switching to a W2 model.
This is the future of the on-demand economy.
Customers should be aware the hiring a misclassified 1099 worker is illegal and risky
If you specify what kind of metrics you are looking for, happy to provide them. Ping me at [email protected]
In general, 1099 are not covered by worker's comp and end up paying 7% more taxes.
At a traditional staffing agency, a worker is asked to show-up in the office on Monday and declare her/his availability for the week. He is then called an pushed to a shift. Often they are never called.
Opposite to them, we leave complete freedom to workers and allow them to set their own schedule
No offense at all. I am obviously biased. If this was true though, our customers would have not left traditional agencies for us.
They all told us they did it for the same reasons: faster and easier to use.
The way we manage our workforce is also fundamentally different and better for the workers ;)
We all agree that staffing agencies classify workers as employees. And that's the right thing to do.
The focus is on the on-demand economy. Very few on-demand platform decided to go for the w2 route instead of the 1099 model.
I might be wrong, but I can think of 3 in total
WoNoLo is a great company, but it's a 1099 model.
It is difficult to justify how a low complexity worker can be a contractor. To be a contractor you need to have done a personal investment, cannot be trained and cannot be working on a shift.
This exposes both the customer and the employee to a high level of risks. The employee does not have the needed insurance coverage. The customer is at risk of worker's misclassification, fines and costly claims.
Compared to a traditional staffing agency, we have lower costs of operations.
We showed our product to a quite a few people that worked ad ManPower and told us that we are faster, provide a better interface/experience. I hope they are right :)
