Here at Data Freelancers, we had quite a busy summer! Back in July, we launched our platform to the world, and then we quickly announced the first 10 freelancers to join and offer their services. During that time, we continued to reach out to talented data experts in our network, and we interviewed those who raised their hand to let us know of their interest.
Well, today we get to unveil the second group of ten people to create profiles on our new Data Freelancers platform and site. Like the first group before them, these ten people are true pioneers, helping us build something new and sorely needed – a trusted place for organizations to find, connect with, and work with real data and AI experts. And they, too, went through a thorough vetting process that involved multiple rounds of reviews, and 1:1 discussions.
