The opportunity of tech talent agents

Posted .
I've been thinking about the future of recruiting recently. And, I think that there's an opportunity for tech talent agents to help freelancers.

Take a look at the post here: contraption.co/essays/tech-talent-agents


For fractional workers - the value may be less clear. Agents help most when switching projects often. Some fractionals change projects every couple months, while others stick with the same one for years.

I'm curious for your thoughts - 
  • Do you have trouble lining up projects to avoid downtime between them?
  • How often do you start a new project?
  • Would you pay 10% to have somebody help manage your back-office work, especially if they could help increase your rates?
