Freelancing and the tech industry 2023: Forging opportunity from crisis

In today's show we dig in to the world of tech hiring, in a time where the whole sector has been very unstable.

So many freelancers not only offer tech-related skills, yet more of us work for tech startups and enterprises in other roles,  because this industry has always had a broad open mindset to working flexibly and innovatively. But 2022 saw mass layoffs and funding crises, and a flood of new talent on the freelancing scene at least temporarily. Where does this leave us?

Levin Wense , the brains behind specialist hiring platform MVP Match 
is optimistic however, and believes that experienced freelancers will contribute significantly to the sector in the year ahead. 

Flexibility, pragmatism, and a focus on results, are all things Xolopreneurs bring to the table already.  Today, Levin shares some great ideas on how to really optimise your appeal to recruiters, and highlight the attributes needed in the blended workforce, as the industry rebuilds itself and embraces the changes going on in the world at large. 

Every freelancer, whatever your skillset, will find this conversation full of insightful gems to boost your business in 2023.
