When skilled talent is in high demand, hiring managers must tailor their hiring strategies and open roles to better meet the preferences of job seekers. As more and more candidates desire short-term jobs or freelance-type work, it has led to the rise of the gig economy. It’s estimated that by 2020, 40% of Americans will be working outside of traditional permanent full-time jobs. Nowhere is this future more visible than in the creative field. A study of LinkedIn users found that 46% of all freelancers work in Art/Design and 35% work in Media/Communication. In all, creatives make up 80% of the gig economy.
