FlexJobs Identifies Companies Seeking Freelancers in Prime Career Fields for Freelance Jobs
Boulder, CO (PRWEB) July 20, 2016 -- Nearly 34 percent of U.S. workers now freelance, and amongst millennials that figure rises to 38 percent. With interest in freelancing growing among professionals, and employers hiring for more freelance workers, FlexJobs has identified companies recently hiring freelancers in five in-demand career fields for freelance job listings.
“The way we define work is continuing to change, and freelance work is increasingly--and deservedly--being taken seriously as a viable, professional career option,” said Sara Sutton Fell, CEO and founder of FlexJobs. “Freelance jobs can be a win-win for both companies and professionals, as it helps companies connect to the best talent for their projects and manage their staffing commitments in a more nimble way, while in turn allowing professionals to have more control over their career, schedules and workload.”
Half of freelancers value their work flexibility so greatly they would not consider taking a traditional job. 60 percent of the freelance workforce actually make more money freelancing than they did in traditional employment.
Companies that have frequently posted freelance jobs since May 2016 in five in-demand career fields for freelancers, plus examples of freelance job postings, are as follows:
Medical & Health: Carolinas Healthcare System, Altegra Health, and Calian have recently recruited freelancers for medical and health jobs. Clinical psychologist, medical coder, and clinical nurse are examples of recent freelance job postings in medical and health.
Education: Achieve Test Prep, K12, and Edmentum have recently recruited freelancers for education jobs. Virtual teacher, adjunct faculty, and instructional designer are examples of recent freelance job postings in education.
