We Are Rosie's client portfolio generates a steady ow of high-quality commissions for national brands, allowing freelancers to focus on the work at hand rather than where the next one is coming from.HOMEPAGE Subscribe https://www.businessinsider.com/rosie-freelance-talent-network-national-advertising-marketing-agencies-2019-11

Agencies get a bespoke match with a creative professional. The pricing is for serious bidders only: The project minimum for companies is $10,000 a month.

"If you're not accessing talent that's working in an independent way, you no longer have access to a world-class organization," Olson said.

As Rosie members do longer projects with the service, they become eligible for several perks that are designed to further simplify their freelance business.

The rst perk is often overlooked by those with full-time jobs: predictable income.

We Are Rosie helps with this by negotiating quicker payment turnarounds with its clients and ensures that its freelancers are paid weekly, even on the platform's dime.

"If you take care of the people who care for your customers, everything else solves itself," Olson said, "even if it costs you more money in the short term."

Olson partnered with another stang agency to extend its benets to Rosie freelancers.

As of September, any Rosie freelancer who takes on a 60-day project is eligible for a benets package that includes health insurance and retirement accounts.

Olson said she was tired of waiting for large companies to make meaningful improvements with inclusion, so she's charging ahead to demonstrate the business sense of diversity. She is condent that We Are Rosie's economic results will bear out her argument.

"We Are Rosie talent can go toe-to-toe with Accenture, McKinsey, and some of the biggest marketing companies in the world because we have access to this really rich tapestry of talent," she said.

Though the company's name may call to mind the iconic Rosie the Riveter, Olson said that wasn't her intent. Her youngest daughter's middle name is Rose. "We call her Rosie," Olson said, "and it's just a very personal kind of business name, so I can remember: If I can do my job really well, then my daughters will have better access in the future."

Olson often uses the word revolution to describe her mission with the platform, and a new survey by Deloitte suggests she's on to something. Half of millennial and Gen Z respondents said they would leave their job within two years if they had a choice, up from 38% in 2017.

A majority cited issues like work-life balance, exible scheduling, and inclusivity as reasons they would leave, and more than four in ve would be willing to freelance.

If those trends continue, Olson will have quite an army.
