Did you know that here at Workana we decided to open operations in Asia last year when we received from SEEK an investment of 7 seven million dollars? (Easier said than done!).
We arrived with a lot of questions about the model, culture, and behaviors in place, but we came to conquer an entire region and accepted the challenge of starting from scratch again.
Today we want to recognize all the clients, companies and entrepreneurs that are taking this great step with us.
According to data by Kelly OCG quoted by the e27 blog for entrepreneurs, currently up to 84% of recruiting managers in Asia are turning to independent talent to carry out projects and grow their companies in a more accessible and versatile way.
In this sense, one of the most obvious challenges facing the economy of the Asian continent is to find trained freelancers quickly and easily.
Today, the daily growth we experience and the monthly projections show us that Asia is a very fertile market and ready to make the leap towards the GIG economy.
