Is the Gig Economy Killing 3rd Party Staffing?

Video may not have totally killed the radio star, but the game sure changed. LPs to 8 tracks to cassettes to CDs to MP3s to streaming... Is the global gig economy killing third party, contingency-based staffing? Honestly, I say yes.

✔️ I'm not afraid to make bold predictions and my ability to spot impending failure is highly accurate. Staffing firms still using the "carrot-and-the-stick" style of marketing have maybe 12 to 24 months left at best.
✔️ There's nothing disruptive or revolutionary about providing the same service as everyone else but trying to dress it up in different clothes. We can all see the emperor is naked!
✔️ Candidates have more legit choices than ever before. The days of candidates standing in the corner hoping a staffing agency can represent them so that they don't have to represent themselves are already over.
✔️ The global gig economy means that large service providers can serve as a "middle man" in a way that's much faster and cheaper than most contingency-based agencies can. If you work for one of those firms and you've seen the writing on the wall, you owe it to yourself to think about your own future.
✔️ Recruiters deserve to get paid for the work they do, periodt. This contingency-based crap of doing all the work upfront and then hoping you get paid for it later (in some cases much later) is bullsh*t. It jacks up your cash flow and puts you in an automatic space of disrespect.
