About Aquent Talent
Business priorities can change in a flash. So we believe in the power of a flexible workforce—the extended workforce, temporary talent, freelancers, and contractors—to help organizations be more nimble. When it comes to talent, we also believe work doesn’t have to be about the four walls of an office, a 9-to-5 schedule, or a traditional career path.
Your career. Your call. We believe talent should be in the driver’s seat of their careers, equipped with the tools, skills, and autonomy to create the careers they want. At the same time, they shouldn’t have to go it alone when it comes to job searching and career decisions—they deserve a partner to coach them along the way.
It’s clear. A diverse workplace delivers better outcomes for organizations and talent. Creating an inclusive environment—one that values different backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives—is critical to everyone’s growth and success. So we believe in going all in. See how.
Amazing benefits—for all. We believe talent should be on the same playing field as traditional employees, especially when it comes to employee benefits. That means things like comprehensive health insurance, paid sick leave, retirement plans, and more.
Aquent Talent would like you to finish the application on their website.
