Today is a big day. What started as a side project to wrangle a few hundred freelancers in New York, has become a resource for more than 10,000 creatives and some of the most innovative companies in the world.
Years of feature requests, conversations with creative leaders and hirers, as well as feedback from our members have culminated in the single biggest update in Working Not Working's five year history. While our mission remains the same, the site will look a lot different when you next sign in.
