As workplaces become less traditional, some companies are turning to the practice of hiring employees for a fraction of the time fulltime employees would work. This hiring management strategy, usually applied to executive-level roles, enables companies to diversify their employment by bringing on talent on a quarterly, monthly and even weekly basis; make shorter-term hiring decisions; attract valuable talent and benefit from their skills and expertise without paying the same costs as a fulltime employee; and expand staffing capacity. From the employee's standpoint, the employee could be hired to work for multiple organizations throughout the week. In these situations, employees function like a freelancer or contractor.
