Freelancing is set to become the majority workforce in North America by 2027. Currently contributing over $1.4 trillion to the U.S. economy, the steady increase in the number of skilled individuals taking up freelancing every year means there is a paradigm shift in the way work, “works”, as organizations are choosing to collaborate more with the growing global freelance labor market. What will this mean for the ways companies find and onboard talent? What will the blended workforce look like? How will the future of company culture be impacted?
My guest this time is Nicholas Schroder, CEO & Co-Founder of ProCollective. He has worked across different industries, ranging from big pharma to advertising, but after completing his Master’s at Copenhagen Business School, Nicholas focused his efforts on digital solutions for the future of work.
At the start of 2020, the vision of building the foundation for work in the decentralized digital future led to the inception of the Copenhagen-based technology startup called ProCollective.
Listen to this interview with Nicholas and discover:
- From an HR perspective, what was the impact of COVID-19?

This episode is supported by ProCollective , a technology that supports the new way of working by providing a digital home for the future blended workforce. The SaaS platform purports to give organizations the tech, talent and trust they need to manage their blended workforce around decentralised work, significantly reducing the administrative burden and enabling them to scale on-demand.
