Freelance support can be a great option for your business. It gives you the advantage of flexibility and the power to hire specialist expertise when it’s truly needed. Independent contractors can be self managing and great additions to the team.
YunoJuno are my recruitment saviours! I’ve worked with them for a few years now and they’ve helped with many resourcing challenges. The platform is really easy to use, it provides a wide range of freelancers to interact with and also means I’m only dealing with one vendor – which makes my internal financing hassle free!
The freelancers on YunoJuno are consistently of the highest calibre. It is also the easiest and most transparent recruitment service I have ever dealt with.
YunoJuno have been brilliant in identifying remote working freelancers who always deliver. From first introductions and telephone calls, to brief discussions and final delivery, the key has been good, clear and honest communication.
We haven’t used a recruiter in ages, working closely with the YunoJuno Talent team we moved to sourcing 100% via the YJ Marketplace.
I have to say a huge thanks to your team — YunoJuno has saved us on many occasions now.
Frequently asked questions
There are several reasons why now might be the time to hire a marketing freelancer. This includes:
Time — Hiring a freelancer gives you both the flexibility in working hours (evenings and weekends), and the ability to do work at very short notice. You can engage as often or as little as you want, so if you have a key project needing delivering quickly, a freelancer can help achieve this.
Skills/knowledge — By hiring a freelancer, you have the opportunity to choose someone with the exact skills and experience you require for your project. A good freelance marketer will have built up experience working on a variety of different projects, for various brands across different industries. This will give you a key advantage, as you will have the opportunity to leverage that experience.
Ideas — A fresh set of ideas on a problem cannot be underestimated. An advantage of engaging with a freelancer, who does not work for your company, means they won’t have any preconceived notions about how things should or shouldn’t work.
Results Driven — Not only are freelancers very, success is very important to them. They want to provide results on time and within budget, as a big driver of their work is word of mouth and recommendations.
