Shahar Erez - How the Rise of the Gig Economy Influences the Workforce

“The gig economy is now the current reality in America,” Luigi rightly observes. It’s a powerful disruptor in today’s labor market. In the show, Shahar explains how Stoke assists businesses in gaining access to the world's most flexible workforce - “the booming freelance economy”- allowing you to complete more work in less time. 

Shahar Erez is the Co-Founder & CEO of Stoke, an on-demand talent platform that enables businesses to scale fast and efficiently via a hybrid workforce strategy. Working with independent contractors, freelancers, gig workers, and consultants may be financially, administratively, and legally taxing, but Stoke can help you get rid of all of them. Shahar just completed a successful exit from his company by selling it to Fiverr for $110 million. However, he still remains committed to the purpose of the company. 

In this episode of The Liquid Lunch Project, Shahar explains to Matthew and Luigi, what Stoke is all about, and how it may help you in adapting to the rapidly changing environment.“Many firms are still ignorant of how much efficiency and agility they may achieve by working with freelancers,” your guest says. He goes on to discuss how the growing trend of freelancing is impacting the economy and how you may benefit from it. If you want to keep up with the times and change the way your business operates, tune in.
