Background
What is the GIG economy? News reports are showing signs of an end of an era of full-time 9am-5pm work for one company. This will soon be something of the past, they report. Some economists are predicting a future economy that will be fuelled by multi-talented giggers. People who take on freelance work (gigs) in order to have more time at hand, and they may take on work from a few different employers or clients at the same time. Some giggers will display having prowess in various types of skills.
Go International Group (GIG) was founded on exactly this basis. Our co-founders started working as freelancers early on in the mid 1990s, and always believed in creating work opportunity for themselves, then just got really good at being professionals at their job. They work and collaborate with other freelancers, providing corporate clients, government agencies and multinationals excellence in customer service as well as the assurance of a professional job well-done and delivered within the required timelines.
What does it cost to join? It’s FREE for giggers / freelancers to join this sharing economy. In that same spirit, we do ask for clients / companies who successfully engage giggers / freelancers from this network to pay a 5% fee to support us in making this service more efficient and to scale it up.
Services for giggers / freelancers: As a community, we have the strength to negotiate for better deals that serve our professional careers as GIG economists. We have partnered with several businesses like co-working spaces, professional insurance brokers, sound and lights suppliers, specialty venues, company secretaries and accountants. Ask your questions in our closed Facebook Group.
GIG Academy is a service that connect freelancers with continuous learning opportunities, short courses with diplomas or certificates and peer-to-peer programs and at the same time, factor in travelling to and living in a foreign country. That’s why most of us freelance isn’t it? To have the capability to travel (virtually for now) and experience different cultures. If you’re interested to know more, drop us an email.
