EY debuts freelance platform GigNow in Romania with global options

EY has recently announced the debut of hiring platform GigNow in Romania, offering its freelancers and locals new avenues towards work opportunities on a global scale.

GigNow is an online platform designed by EY as a virtual meeting space between the needs of specialized human resources employers and the top specialists available, capitalizing on the demand and supply process in the workforce, under the conditions currently dominated by maximum flexibility and adaptability. The EY GigNow platform provides independent specialists access to a diverse range of projects from business consulting, transaction assistance, insurance and tax assistance, as well as IT and business area related areas.

The GigNow Platform is an EY tool that responds to current labor market developments and the need for agility in the talent area by capitalizing on the benefits of technology-enabled facilities.

“In our field of services the value chain of human capital has already changed into a hybrid structure that includes constant interaction between full-time employees, near-shore or off-shore employees, external contractors, and technology processes. Generally, companies tend to become a flexible community of permanent employees and contractors temporarily involved in projects. Companies will hire the person who has the necessary skills at that time for that project. Age will no longer be a selection criterion when hiring, but takes into account the ideal skills for ongoing projects. We will see a reduction in the importance of higher education diplomas and an increase in the importance of diploma skills,” said Bogdan Ion, country managing partner of EY Romania and Moldova and COO for Central and South-Eastern Europe and the Central Asia Region.
