From Jobs to Careers
Flexihire is one of the four major sources of knowledge supply outside the firm. Flexihire serves as a starting point for exploring external knowledge supply markets. Also, this marks the first step away from traditional employment arrangements and increasing the variety of work arrangements. A firm's use of flexihire is linked to the need for the firm to have access to individuals who have firm-specific and task-specific knowledge of the firm's process. However, as knowledge specificity reduces, the need of firms for flexihire workers diminishes. This chapter provides an analysis of trends in flexihire arrangements and a discussion regarding the implications of these trends for management, the workers, the government, and other stakeholders of the firm.
