Who hires telecommuters and freelancers?
Telecommuting has long been the preferred way to earn a home-based living for those who like to set their own hours and be their own boss, mothers of young children, those who consider commuting to be a waste of time, those who want to avoid petty office politics, and those who for personal or health reasons prefer to keep out of the rush hour rat race. In recent years, the popularity of freelance and telecommute employment has skyrocketed and a number of “family friendly” companies are leading the work-from-home trend. These companies are seeking to fill their openings with qualified professionals.
