Case Study: a global advertising network saves millions with Worksome

How Worksome helps this global advertising network with savings in time, operational costs, taxes, and recruiter fees

Worksome helped a global advertising network manage a large, complex freelance workforce that had been creating compliance risk, manual admin, slow onboarding, and high recruiter costs. Before Worksome, the company classified contractors as full-time employees to reduce misclassification risk, and its teams had to handle approvals, sourcing, classification, contracting, payments, and checks across multiple systems.

By switching external workforce management to Worksome, the company gained automated worker classification, indemnification, background and right-to-work checks, payments and invoicing, and access to a vetted freelancer marketplace. Worksome delivered an estimated $9.6M in annual savings, including $7.5M in tax savings, $1.6M in process savings, and about $0.2M in recruiter savings, while also saving 2,725 hours per year on admin work and speeding up onboarding and payments.
