In this week's episode of the Digital Wrap-Up, Riley Harden speaks with Shahar Erez about the rapid shift in workforce from full-time employees to 1099 freelancers/contractors.
Shahar is the Co-founder and CEO of Stoke, an on-demand talent platform empowering companies to adopt a hybrid workforce model that scales as quickly and efficiently as needed.
Riley and Shahar talk about how the workforce has greatly shifted over the past decade and why there isn't much job security working for one company for your entire career. The 1099 workforce only continues to grow, and has sped up tremendously thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic.
