Employers turn to freelancers to fill tech skill shortages following global layoffs, reports Freelancer.com

FREELANCER.COM

Freelancer.com (ASX: FLN) (OTCQX: FLNCF), the world’s largest freelancing and crowdsourcing marketplace by number of users and jobs posted, today released its quarterly Fast 50 Index for Q3 2022 which reveals insights into the fastest growing freelance projects and most in-demand skills. The index, which is based on data from 296,000 jobs posted on Freelancer.com between July 1 to September 30, 2022, reveals a major surge in tech-related jobs in Q3 when compared to Q2 2022 and Q3 2021. Android App Development (up 80.5%, from 1,082 to 1,954) ranked as the fastest growing project type in Q3 2022 when ranking the percentage growths from all 2,000 skills available on Freelancer.com. This was followed by AJAX (up 66.4%, from 1,059 to 1,763) and API (up 59.5%, from 1,587 to 2,532) jobs which are both skilled related to website and software development. The sudden surge in tech-related freelance jobs first observed in Freelancer’s Q2 2022 index, comes off the back of global tech layoffs and hiring freezes across the so-called ‘tech winter’, that started with a ‘crypto winter’, as informed by Freelancer.com in earlier Fast 50 reports. According to a tech layoff tally, more than 42,000 workers in the U.S. tech sector lost their jobs in 2022. Tech-related jobs dominated the rankings when comparing Q3 2022 to Q3 2021 year-on-year. Software Development jobs were the fastest growing skill (up 54.7%, from 1,587 to 2,442), while jobs for Coding ranked as the second highest growing skill (up 45.5%, from 1,004 to 1,461) and Backend Development came in third (up 37.7%, from 1,111 to 1,530). “The macroeconomic environment, tech winter and nosebleed inflation has led to an almost daily string of announcements of layoffs. The most similar event was the Global Financial Crisis where we saw three trends: businesses looking to cut costs and going online to hire freelancers, people looking for work online and a lot of startup businesses formed to bridge people through hard times. However this was mostly contained to the United States. We think that heading into 2023 we could see this all over again, but on a more global scale,” said Matt Barrie, Chief Executive at Freelancer.com. These layoffs may also increase the amount of startups being founded, not only across the US but also in Europe, with skilled people being cut from bigger organizations, but with experience either building their own companies or working in highly successful startup environments, as described by Alan Poensgen, in his Fortune article of October 5, 2022. Fast 50 Q3 2022 vs Q2 2022 Analysis Employers look to freelancers to plug tech skill gaps Overvaluations and dropping stock prices have caused mass hiring freezes and layoffs across the tech companies globally in 2022. According to online tracker Layoffs.fyi, there have been 83,173 layoffs from 661 startups this year, as of October 2022. This is almost half of the total of 179,164 tech layoffs since the beginning of COVID-19. These layoffs, which accelerated in May 2022, have contributed to increases in tech-related jobs across the platform. While Android App Development dominated Q3 and was ranked as the fastest growing job on Freelancer.com, employers have been turning to the platform to support niche, highly specialized tech projects. AJAX, which is used to develop websites, and API, which allow software programs to communicate with each other also took second and third place, respectively. Niche skills in AngularJS, a toolset for building apps, and Codeigniter, a toolset for web development, equally rose by 22% in Q3. “Michael Milken said ‘the defining characteristic of the 21st century was the competition for intellectual capital’. There’s a chronic skill shortage in western nations, forcing businesses to go to the Internet to find talent. Freelancer.com has the largest online pool of talent in the world.” said Matt Barrie. Projects seeking experts in Amazon Web Services (AWS) grew by 27.6%, from 3,004 to 3,834 jobs in Q3, while Software Development continued its growth from Q2 with a 18% increase from 2,069 to 2,442 jobs in Q3. Artificial Intelligence jobs also grew by 15.9%, from 1,055 to 1,223. Marketing Trends - Marketers turn from SEM to SEO, YouTube & traditional This quarter, the data revealed shifting trends in marketing and advertising. Projects for Search Engine Marketing (SEM) fell by almost a third (30.4%) in Q3 - from 2,300 jobs to 1,600 from the previous quarter. On the other hand, digital marketing, traditional marketing and YouTube jobs spiked in interest. Most commonly, in Q3 employers are looking for support with SEO ranking. Blog Writing jobs, which are usually associated with businesses hiring freelancers to write SEO-friendly blog content, increased by 55% in Q3, from 1,058 to 1,642 projects. Digital Marketing also saw a 23.1% increase in Q3, jumping from 1,738 to 2,141 jobs. These jobs range from hiring business consultants supporting social media strategies to SEO managers. Notably, Q3 also saw many employers turn to the platform to hire community managers, digital marketing campaign managers and social media managers. Traditional advertising also saw an increase in Q3. Flyer Design projects increased by more than a quarter (27.5%) from 1,658 to 2,114 jobs. A similar increase was also seen for projects relating to Covers and Packaging, which increased by 27.3% from 1,253 to 1,596 jobs. Many employers turn to the platform to crowdsource ideas for packaging labels and shipping boxes designs. When comparing Q3 2022 to 2021, advertisement design is up 15.7%, from 1.516 to 1,755 jobs. “With the onset of new digital marketing channels, businesses are learning that their strategies must diversify and move away from primary channels, such as SEM. Paid advertising alone is no longer the most viable alternative. What we are witnessing is demand for freelancers with skills in social media, short video platforms, earned & owned content, SEO and a whole spectrum of marketing strategies that before were in the realm of large corporates only,” said Hector Perez-Nieto, Marketing Director at Freelancer.com. Jobs seeking YouTube skills were the fifth fastest growing skill in Q3 2022 - growing by 32.3% from 1,138 to 1,505 jobs. Many of the jobs seeking YouTube skills are related to vertical videos and Shorts content. While there was a 10% increase in TikTok related skills and projects seeking TikTok content creators, employers seek YouTube and video editing skills three times more. Companies turn to freelancers for lead generation & customer support The layoffs aren’t just affecting tech roles, but also sales and customer services roles across businesses. Over the last quarter, there was a significant increase in demand for customer service, customer support and sales-related skills on the Freelancer platform. While virtual assistance jobs have always been a popular freelancing project type, Q3 2022 saw an increase in employers hiring virtual assistants. Jobs for Customer Support grew by 30.5% in Q3, from 1,531 to 1,998 jobs. This was also closely followed by Customer Service projects which rose by 27.4% from 1,370 to 1,746. Lead generation and cold calling was also a popular project type in Q3. Jobs to generate Leads jumped by a quarter (25.3%), from 1,387 to 1,738. Sales specific jobs also increased by 18.7% from 2,544 to 3,020 total projects. One boutique recruiting agency in the US successfully hired a freelancer to manage cold calling and follow ups for only US$38 per hour, with a maximum of 40 hours available for the freelancer per week. The platform is also used by mortgage brokers to source sales virtual assistants to call realtors for loan officers. Ethereum and NFT projects continue steep decline In Q2 2022, Freelancer reported a fall from grace for jobs relating to Bitcoin, Crypto and NFTs, which were once ranked as the fastest growing freelance jobs on the platform for 2021. It’s now Ethereum’s turns as Ethereum-related jobs plunged in Q3 2022. The fastest falling job types on the Freelancer platform in Q3 were Solidity, a programming language used to implement smart contracts for mostly Ethereum based platforms, and Smart Contracts were - declining by -56%, from 1,422 to 613 jobs, and -49%, from 1,442 to 726 jobs, respectively. NFTs jobs were slashed by half (49.5%) in Q3, dropping from 1,424 to only 718 in total. This trend was closely followed by jobs for Ethereum specifically, which fell by 39.9% from 1,173 jobs to only 705. Blockchain jobs also fell by 26.7%, from 3,216 in Q2 but continue to retain interest with 2,357 jobs reported in Q3. Business cards are back in business With corporate and networking events back in action, so are business cards. In Q3 2022, Business Card design spiked by almost one third (30%) from 1,861 to 2,427 jobs. This is the first time since the start of 2020 that projects for Business Cards have grown significantly. ##### Freelancer Fast 50 The Freelancer Fast 50 index is the world’s largest forward indicator of trends in online jobs related to industries, technologies, products, and companies.

With New Study, Assembly Asks Marketers: “Do you really know Gen Z?”

Assembly

Gen Z Decoded, an all-new study packed with first-hand insights about Generation Z, curated over the course of the past year, is out from global media agency Assembly. Unlike previous studies that seek to understand this evolving and influential group as one whole audience, Assembly prompts brands and marketers to consider this: Gen Z is a series of journeys, each individual and nuanced, dependent on the experiences of Zs in their particular stage of life. Available for download here. The study taps into learnings from Assembly client campaigns [Supercuts, Diesel, and Converse], first-party research powered by Appinio across six markets (UK, US, France, Germany, China, Korea), and additional expert insights curated from Assembly’s Europe Strategy & Insights team. It additionally includes 8 essential principles for brands to build meaningful relationships with Gen Z, as well as a foundational growth plan following the agency’s “Find, Change, Grow” methodology. “As they look to discover themselves, Gen Z is going on an internal journey, often staying fluid and flexible with their own identity,” said Jennifer Brown, Strategy Manager, Europe at Assembly. “They’re in an ever-changing state of discovery across different life stages, so a one-size-fits-all approach from brands isn’t going to work.” The study identifies one of Gen Z’s 6 primary characteristics as “ shapeshifters ”, with 78% of Gen Z believing that people should be able to define their own identity instead of being labelled by society. The fluidity in their identities also extends to their relationships with brands, with 55% of Gen Z stating that they aren’t loyal to any brands. Other key characteristics that distinguish Gen Z: Globally Connected: Gen Z have experienced connectivity unlike any other generation before them. 77% of Gen Z say they have never met an online friend in person, further emphasizing the emergence of digital-only relationships Passionate Disruptors: While they aren’t the first generation with grand ambitions to change the world, Gen Z is the generation that has been armed with the Internet to help them do so. 70% of Gen Z believe they can take part in a social movement through social media Entrepreneurs: By 2025, Gen Z will make up 27% of the workforce, though they’re not necessarily only interested in conventional career paths. 42% of Gen Z say they have a “side hustle” and express wanting to disrupt the way jobs work in the future, many envisioning themselves to be their own bosses Purposeful: While living much of their lives on the internet, Gen Z are also intentional about how and where they are spending their time online, and with who. 27% of Gen Z spend less time on platforms with ads, and 55% of Gen Z in the 18-25 age group are experiencing social media fatigue Vulnerable: Despite their confidence and tenacity, Gen Z put enormous pressure on themselves to carry through on their values; and also despite being so digitally connected, 79% of Gen Z express feeling lonely. “Our advice to brands is: go on the journey with Gen Z and don’t stop learning. It’s all about continuous testing, learning, and adapting, because Gen Z will continue to evolve, so brands should do the same,” said Kristie Naha-Biswas, Head of Strategy & Planning, Europe at Assembly.

Silicon Valley Leadership Group Joins with Other California Business Associations to Call Upon Biden Administration to Accelerate Implementation of CHIPS Act Incentive Program

Silicon Valley Leadership Group

Leading a coalition of California business associations, the Silicon Valley Leadership Group (SVLG) today urged the Biden Administration and Congress to accelerate implementation of the multibillion dollar CHIPS Act incentive program, which is critical to sustaining and strengthening the state’s thriving innovation economy. According to the White House, America had more than 30 percent of global chip production over 30 years ago, while today, America produces barely 10 percent of the world’s chips. The CHIPS Act seeks to change this by investing $280 billion over the next ten years to revitalize U.S. competitiveness, innovation, and national security. Over the next five years, the Department of Commerce will oversee $50 billion in investments including $11 billion for advanced semiconductor R&D and $39 billion to speed up domestic chip production. Additionally, the Act creates a private sector investment tax credit for semiconductor manufacturing of approximately $24 billion. “The CHIPS Act promises to bolster Silicon Valley competitiveness by supercharging critical innovation infrastructure,” said Silicon Valley Leadership Group CEO Ahmad Thomas. “Our member companies stand ready to quickly leverage the federal government’s multi-billion dollar investment to help strengthen U.S. technology, ensure our global competitiveness, and fortify our supply chain resilience.” In a package of letters to U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo and members of the California delegation, the coalition emphasized that: “The [CHIPS and Science] Act presents a unique moment to seize upon California’s innovation and manufacturing advantages that will help strengthen the national economy and reinforce our critical supply chain of needed semiconductor chips and components. We respectfully request that the Department of Commerce move expeditiously to implement the Act’s incentive program, and we are happy to serve as an industry resource as the Act is implemented." In addition to the SVLG, the letters were signed by the Bay Area Council, Chamber San Mateo County, Fremont Chamber of Commerce, Los Angeles County Business Federation, San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce, San Mateo County Economic Development Association, Sunnyvale Chamber of Commerce, and Valley Industry & Commerce Association. American businesses rely on semiconductors as essential components in electronic products like desktop computers, laptops, tablets, and smartphones. Advancing the nation's military capabilities also requires semiconductors for cutting-edge technologies. Expanding domestic manufacturing of semiconductors will bolster national security, supply chain resilience, and strengthen the national economy. California’s Innovation Economy, made up of diverse actors including technology companies, premier research entities, and comprehensive supply chain leaders, is well-positioned to leverage the Act’s incentives and act as a force multiplier for federal investment to strengthen national manufacturing, R&D, and semiconductor workforce training. President Biden released an implementation strategy for the $50 billion under the CHIPS for America program, which is available here. A summary of the legislation is available here. About the Silicon Valley Leadership Group: The Leadership Group is a business organization of hundreds of Silicon Valley’s most dynamic companies working to shape the innovation economy of California and the nation. Founded by David Packard of Hewlett-Packard, for over 40 years the SVLG has worked to address issues that affect the region’s economic health and quality of life. Today the SVLG Is focused on economic competitiveness with a special focus on diversity & inclusion, climate change and infrastructure. SVLG members collectively provide nearly one of every three private sector jobs in Silicon Valley and contribute more than $3 trillion to the worldwide economy. For more information, visit svlg.org.

JAFRA Cosmetics Founders Heirs in Legal Fight with Trustee Jason Rubin Over Historic Malibu Home

Law Office of David R. Akin

Multiple legal petitions have been filed in an ongoing dispute between the heirs of the founders of the JAFRA Cosmetics fortune and accountant Jason Rubin, the trustee of two key family trusts. At the heart of the dispute is a historic Malibu home, originally purchased by Jan and Frank Day, the founders of JAFRA Cosmetics, a global cosmetics brand that is now part of Betterware de México. The family has for years asserted that the Days’ original intention was to have the house pass to their only daughter, Janna. The filings allege that the trustee, Rubin, wants to sell the home against the wishes of the family. The legal action is being brought against Rubin by Janna Day and her daughter, Estel Day, who are represented by the Law Office of David R. Akin. According to legal filings, the historic Malibu property, located at 22223 Carbon Mesa Rd, should have been transferred to Janna Day on her 60 th birthday, back in November of 2013. Even though this transfer never occurred due to disputed changes within existing family trusts, the heirs had hoped to work with Rubin to renovate and rent the home, turning it into an income-producing property that would stay within the family. According to filings, recent efforts to renovate the property have failed due to the inaction of the trustee Rubin, who oversaw efforts to take out a loan against the home but did not use all of the proceeds to pay for agreed-upon renovations. According to legal petitions, the trustee has expended more than $100,000 in administrative fees and costs each year since 2017 but now wants to sell one of the only remaining assets in the trust. The family alleges that Rubin has “basically been derelict in his duty to make the Malibu property income producing” and that he “reneged on his promise to make the necessary repairs and spent far less than the anticipated $400,000, which currently leaves the Malibu property with an estimated $100,00 - $200,000 in repairs required before it can be rented to a residential tenant.” In filings, the family states that the trustee appears to have entirely abdicated his duty to generate income for the beneficiaries. All the beneficiaries of the family trust object to the sale of the property, which they believe is an integral part of the family legacy and the most significant asset of the trust. The family is asking Los Angeles Superior Court to transfer the property to Janna Day and surcharge Rubin “for the damage to the beneficiaries of the Day Trust caused by his breach of duty and failure to follow the terms of the trust instrument,” among other forms of legal relief. According to the petitions, not only is the property viewed as a key financial asset but it also has a significant legacy value for the family and JAFRA consultants. The lawsuit can be downloaded here and at LawsuitPressRelease.com. Contact Details David PR Group John P. David +1 305-724-3903 john@davidpr.com

Employee Experience Technology Adoption Is Being Driven by Pandemic Recovery and Workforce Instability, According to Dash Research

Dash Network

The massive shifts caused by the Covid-19 pandemic have been deeply felt across all industries and at every department level within business-to-consumer (B2B) and business-to-business (B2B) companies. The effect on the global workforce has been profound, with companies around the world struggling to hire and retain employees. According to a new report from Dash Research, an evolution that many say was already in progress before the pandemic, has accelerated with a balance of power starting to migrate toward employees. Dash Research analysis indicates that these market dynamics are leading companies to invest in a broad range of technologies and solutions to not only decrease day-to-day friction in an employee journey, but also to attempt to meet the expanded desires of a changing population. The line between traditional human resources (HR) technology and employee experience (EX) technologies has blurred over the past few years and has given rise to larger companies that provide human capital management (HCM) or workforce engagement technologies to add modules more focused on engagement, community building, recognition, or performance management. These dynamics have also enabled smaller companies to gain leverage in the market with more specific offerings focused on just one part of the EX ecosystem. Dash Research forecasts that the global market for EX platforms, applications, and services will increase from $5.9 billion in 2021 to more than $14.6 billion in 2026. The market intelligence firm anticipates that EX platforms will represent 53% of total revenue within the forecast period, followed by services (24%) and applications (23%). “Companies are becoming more human-centered,” says senior analyst Sherril Hanson, “and HR departments are shifting focus from operations and productivity toward experience, health, and wellbeing. In many cases, the fundamental relationship between employer and employee has changed.” Hanson adds that the key market drivers spurring the purchase of EX software and services include: The Great Resignation and the need for better retention strategies The employee experience/customer experience link Shifting employee wants and needs Move to hybrid and remote work, leading to increased need for communication and connection Growing need for optimal digital employee experience and great supporting technologies However, she points out that many barriers remain for organizations when attempting to deploy EX solutions, many of which are internal and operational. Dash Research has identified four key challenges that are tempering the growth of EX: Outdated and challenging technology stacks Lack of internal ownership Struggles with analysis and action Inability to build an EX-supportive culture Dash Research’s report, “Employee Experience”, focuses on the software platforms, applications, and services that are offered to help companies achieve excellent EX. These solutions are an important part of providing a positive employee experience. If implemented thoughtfully and with sustained commitment, the solutions can promote deeper employee engagement, less employee churn, in-house automations and efficiencies, and improved customer experience. An Executive Summary of the report is available for free download on the firm’s website. Dash Research, the market intelligence arm of Dash Network, provides in-depth research and insights on the worldwide CX market including a comprehensive assessment of technology solutions, business issues, market drivers, and end-user dynamics across industry sectors. Dash Research’s global market coverage combines qualitative and quantitative research methodologies to provide a complete view of emerging business opportunities surrounding contact center technologies, customer data & analytics, customer data platforms, customer insights & feedback, customer relationship management, personalization & optimization, and employee experience.

5 Best Resume Writing Services: Reviews of the Professional Companies Near You

Resume Builders

Getting started on a job does not come automatically. It begins with an application process for the same role. And a major part of this procedure is submitting a well-written resume. Otherwise called a CV, your resume is one of the essential documents you present in a job search or application for opportunities. As a matter of fact, it is the most important document in the entire procedure. It can make or mar your application process for that fellowship, postgraduate studies, internship, or other work-related bids. Thus, you need your resume to be in top form consistently. But here's the twist, not everyone knows how to write a resume. It is a technical document. Thus, you might find it challenging to write. In fact, if you do, sometimes you have a greater chance of shortchanging yourself. Why? Because it might not pass the ATS. That is the Application Tracking System. And guess what?

Resume writing is the act of creating your resume. As simple as this sounds, it fully captures the entire process. A resume in itself is a formal document that iterates your qualifications for a specific role you are looking to apply for. It highlights the most relevant information in your career pursuits that positions you as the best candidate for the position you are applying for. It is mainly accompanied by a cover letter expressing your interest in applying for that role. Noteworthy is the fact that most recruiters advocate for resumes to be one-paged or two-paged at most. Writing a resume is a process that requires careful detailing of specifics. This information is tailored particularly to the given role being applied for. Thus, as much as you could have a general resume, it is advisable to have specific resumes for each job application. The writers in these services help you highlight the best possible qualifications, background information, job history, certifications, and other details that make you a perfect fit for the role you are looking to occupy. They take your information and convert it into a page that helps to endear you to the recruiter. Resume writing involves some form of technical templates to follow. Many recruiters will prefer it to be chronological. That is, it contains your recent job history in the order you took them on, as it relates to the current role. Also, it includes neatly arranged headings and sub-headings, margins, active language uses, and highlights of important achievements. Note that a resume makes use of professional fonts. How much does it cost to hire someone to write a resume? First, hiring someone to write a resume is a promising venture everyone should invest in. However, how much that costs now depends on each writer hired to write the resume. To write your resume, each writing service charges differently. However, one thing that stays consistent is the excellence of the delivery. The price also differs based on the peculiarities of the work. For instance, the price of writing a resume with a shorter deadline would be different than that which was delivered on the number of days stipulated by the writing platform. The same goes for the type of grade the resume is written for. The career level is a major determinant of the price range of hiring a writer on some of these professional writing services to craft an excellent resume. The price for a high schooler is way less than that of an executive client. Further, as noted earlier, different companies write resumes for different prices. 99Papers, for example, writes theirs for $12.60 with a 15-day delivery timeline. While with PaperHelp, you can get an excellent resume starting from $45. For Studdit, their price for a professional resume is about $20.
