Freelancer management systems help businesses organize their freelance and contract workforces. These systems manage all aspects of the relationship between individual freelancers and businesses that employ them, including onboarding, contracts, project management, and payments. Businesses use freelancer management systems to maintain data on their temporary workers and the tasks they have been assigned, enabling companies to efficiently monitor the projects they have outsourced to freelancers. Freelancer management systems can also streamline the process of paying freelancers for completed jobs.
Businesses often use freelancer management systems alongside freelance platforms, which are talent marketplaces that enable employers to search for freelancers who are available to work. Any business that employs multiple freelancers can benefit from implementing and replacing manual methods of managing their contingent workers. These solutions often integrate with CRM software and accounting software.
To qualify for inclusion in the Freelancer Management Systems category, a product must:
Automate the process of onboarding freelancers
Store documents such as freelance contracts and portfolio samples
Maintain data on contracted workers such as contact information, skills, and availability
Track freelance project completion
Deliver payments to freelancers
