3 The Opportunity Two powerful forces are converging to make online freelancing the next revolution in the professional workplace. First, more and more enterprises are relying on freelancers to help them do more with less. An Intuit report projects that 80 percent of large corporations are planning to substantially increase their use of flexible staffing models. Second, whether due to preference or necessity, increasing numbers of professionals are looking for ways to re-engineer their careers. In the United Sates alone, 54 million people more than one-third of the total workforce are already working as freelancers. According to a June 2015 report released by McKinsey & Co., online talent platforms will account for 72 million FTE positions and contribute $2.7 trillion to global GDP by Online Freelancing by Project Category Information Technology Administrative Services Writing & Translation Design Services Existing online freelance marketplaces are designed for one-on-one engagements, not multiskilled teams, so they are best suited to simple one-off projects. When the existing platforms are used for more complex projects, users often encounter communication breakdowns and collaboration problems that lead to delays, quality issues and wasted time. The existing platforms are also inundated with lowvalue jobs that deter experienced professionals. As a result, these platforms offer limited solutions for complex projects and can be unproductive for enterprise-level engagement. These factors create an opportunity for Execuvite.

4 Revenues from online freelancing services are projected to increase from $1 billion in 2012 to as much as $25 billion in $25 billion The Solution Execuvite is an online freelancing resource that has been engineered from the ground up to bridge the gap between low-cost freelance marketplaces and high-cost outsourcing companies. It is an enterprise-level solution that delivers the reliability of outsourcing firms with the affordability of online freelancers.

Execuvite gives enterprises and freelancers global reach. It helps companies accelerate growth while controlling overhead expenses, and it helps freelance professionals leverage their expertise to build lasting engagements with clients.

5 Execuvite Partners: A Better Solution The primary objective of online freelancing is to add capabilities and bandwidth while controlling costs. But the time and resources required to recruit and manage a team of freelancers can diminish the benefits of using them in the first place. Execuvite recognizes this challenge and employs a different collaboration model: virtual professional Partners. Our Partners allow clients to outsource project management, reducing the time and resources they must devote to their projects, and allowing them to capture all the benefits of an online freelance workforce. Partners are full-time professional project managers who are fully screened by Execuvite to verify their expertise, experience and management skills. Execuvite offers Partners a career path, professional development, rewards and recognition. Online talent platforms will account for $2.7 trillion of global GDP by 2025 Execuvite recruits Partners to each project, screening candidates and narrowing the field to those that are best-suited for the client s needs. The client selects a Partner who will function as a virtual project manager with responsibility for recruiting freelancers from the Execuvite professional network, submitting detailed proposals and managing the freelance team. Traditionally, an organization would designate an in-house employee to lead a project team; with Execuvite, they can hire a professional freelance Partner to fill the same role at much lower cost.

6 The World Bank projects 103 million online freelancers working worldwide in 2016 Professional Freelance Talent One of the key differences that Execuvite brings to online freelancing is the creation of a professional network for full-time freelancers. While other online freelance marketplaces welcome all freelancers even those who have little experience or limited skills Execuvite caters to fulltime professionals. This is a significant advantage for organizations who need to build multi-skilled teams with freelancers who have proven their ability to handle high-value projects. Every freelancer in the Execuvite network is carefully screened to ensure that they have the skills and experience that clients seek. All have years of experience in their fields, and each is a full-time professional, not a part-timer or moonlighter. In addition to professional freelance experience, many have extensive client-side experience that is invaluable when it comes to tackling complex projects for a variety of different organizations. While other freelance marketplaces allow or even require freelancers to work anonymously, every Execuvite freelancer has a complete, verified public profile. Clients have full visibility into the profiles of the freelance teams assembled by their Execuvite Partners. Execuvite freelancers are also encouraged to network together to form the virtual professional partnerships that are the key to completing high-value projects. Other online freelance services restrict freelancer contact to anonymous forums, but Execuvite recognizes that professional results require professional networking and collaboration.

7 How it Works Execuvite makes it easy for organizations to collaborate with freelancers who can complete even the most challenging projects while delivering significant cost savings.
