Here’s how you can find the right freelance recruiter – and what to expect when you work with them.
If you’re an employer in need of freelancers, you’ll want to look for a recruiter who’s associated with a trusted, long-standing talent solutions agency. And if you’re a freelancer, you’ll want to look for a firm that’s experienced in placing professionals with a similar industry and experience level to you.

When companies work with a recruiter, it enables them to spend less time hunting for freelancers or scavenging for referrals — and more time doing their core business. Plus, working with a freelance recruiter is a great way to get access to talent you might never meet otherwise, while offering freelancers benefits and perks that could be impossible when searching on your own.
So many freelance jobs can be done online — so there’s no reason not to look across the country for the absolute best talent. Working with a recruiter expands your reach far beyond your immediate market, allowing you to tap into specialized professionals who may not be actively applying for jobs but are open to the right opportunity. Recruiters also help identify candidates who are accustomed to remote work and can seamlessly integrate into distributed teams. And when you work with 24 Seven, the process is easy.
One of the biggest advantages of working with a freelance recruiter is how they handle the time-consuming administrative tasks that come with hiring. From initial candidate screening and portfolio reviews to negotiations and onboarding paperwork, recruiters manage the entire process. This means your internal team can focus on strategic work while the recruiter handles reference checks, skill assessments, and scheduling interviews. The result is a faster, more efficient hiring process that gets highly skilled freelancers working on your projects sooner.
Another benefit of working with a freelance recruiter is their ability to implement temp-to-hire strategies that address various workforce challenges, from hiring freezes and skill gaps to seasonal workload spikes common in the creative, marketing, and tech industries. This approach brings talent aboard temporarily with the option to transition to permanent roles, allowing both employers and candidates to evaluate the working relationship before making long-term commitments. By providing this trial period, temp-to-hire arrangements help organizations avoid costly hiring mistakes while reducing turnover, as both parties can assess organizational fit and role compatibility without the pressure of immediate permanent decisions.
Freelance recruiters can help you find job opportunities before anyone else. The process is straightforward: partnering with a specialized recruiter gives you access to their exclusive, regularly refreshed network of premium freelance opportunities. You’ll also gain insider access to valuable industry intelligence and insights on landing jobs in today’s market.
