No offense at all. I am obviously biased. If this was true though, our customers would have not left traditional agencies for us.
They all told us they did it for the same reasons: faster and easier to use.
The way we manage our workforce is also fundamentally different and better for the workers ;)

Do you have published metrics showing that your model is better for the workers?

If you specify what kind of metrics you are looking for, happy to provide them. Ping me at [email protected]
In general, 1099 are not covered by worker's comp and end up paying 7% more taxes.
At a traditional staffing agency, a worker is asked to show-up in the office on Monday and declare her/his availability for the week. He is then called an pushed to a shift. Often they are never called.
Opposite to them, we leave complete freedom to workers and allow them to set their own schedule
