How the latest NextConomy report echoes what ProUnity has been building for years.

The recent MSP Onderzoeksrapport 2025–2026 by NextConomy paints a clear picture: the freelance market continues to evolve rapidly. Freelancers are more empowered than ever, yet companies still struggle with skills shortages, compliance complexity, and fragmented sourcing. At ProUnity, we’ve designed our platform to answer precisely these shifts.

Here’s what stood out to us and how we’re addressing it:

  1. Freelancers are in control and more selective.

According to the report, independent professionals are contacted up to 16 times yearly for new assignments. However, more than 50% rule out returning to full-time employment. Freelancers value flexibility, transparency, and control.

We empower freelancers through direct sourcing with complete visibility, no middlemen, and no hidden steps. Thanks to our Tech & Touch model, they get fair rates, top-tier missions, and human support when it matters most. And with our mobile app, they can manage everything on the go, fast, free, and entirely in control.

  1. The impresario model is gaining ground.

Freelancers increasingly choose curated platforms that act like professional talent agents, filtering out noise and focusing on meaningful opportunities.

ProUnity’s answer: Our platform is built around relevance. Thanks to our AI-driven matching and notification system, freelancers only see opportunities that fit their expertise and ambitions.

  1. Skills mismatch remains a critical issue.

Despite an increasing supply of freelancers, companies still face challenges in finding the right talent for the right project.

ProUnity’s answer: Our VMS + Marketplace ecosystem ensures companies can access highly specialised talent pools, especially in fields like IT, Engineering, Legal, Finance, with smart filters and market benchmarks.

  1. Compliance is no longer optional.

With increasing enforcement of laws like the DBA and growing scrutiny of employment status, many organisations are at risk, often unaware.

We simplify compliance through automated contracts, document validation, and GDPR-ready workflows. Our platform also helps clients stay ahead of national rules. Plus, with our ISO 27001 certification, we guarantee best-in-class security and audit readiness across the board, without adding complexity.


MSP @ ProUnity: Where Tech & Touch make the difference.

At ProUnity, we believe that technology alone is not enough. That’s why our MSP services are built around the principle of Tech & Touch: a robust digital platform paired with dedicated human support.

While our VMS automates compliance, sourcing, contracting, and reporting, our client service teams ensure that every project is guided by care. We don’t just manage external talent, we build relationships. Whether it’s helping clients define their needs, ensuring a smooth onboarding, or providing real-time advice, we act as true partners, not just providers.

Because in a fast-moving world of work, the best results come from combining intelligent technology with human understanding.

Moving forward together.

As the workforce becomes more flexible and digital, platforms like ProUnity are helpful and essential. The findings in this report confirm that we’re on the right track, and we’re proud to be a trusted partner for both companies and professionals navigating this new reality.
