Joshua Blumenthal, CEO and Publisher - Benzo Magazine
"Being in the publishing business, cost containment, risk control and the ability to attract and retain top freelance talent is critical. We selected iamindependent because they are the industry leader in handling issues that surround 1099 liability. We are able to reduce our production costs by nearly 14%, while at the same time we now have a differentiator [through iamindependent] to compete for top freelance talent."

Becky Herrington, Director of Production - Thomson Course Technology
“We did exhaustive due diligence in selecting a service provider to handle our contingent workers. We selected iamindependent because they were able to meet our business objectives of reducing production costs, accommodate our complex cost center billing process, eliminate risk of independent contractor reclassification and provide to our contingent workers a high level of service that compliments their independent lifestyle.” See full press release.

"ABC [Alternative Benefits Consultants] is a broker of PEO, ASO and other outsourced employee services. We have always known that there was a huge market for handling 1099's, but until we found iamindependent, there was nowhere for us to turn. We have forged an incredible partnership with iamindependent that has allowed us to better service our customers. Through iamindependent we are now able to offer our customers contractor employment and 1099 compliance solutions, for which we are seeing an increasing demand."

Jill Dougherty, MyWorkZone employee member
"Prior to joining iamindependent I always worked through staffing companies as their W-2 employee. I did not realize how much more money I can make by working as an independent [through iamindependent], and the flexibility is great too. I am now able to deduct business expenses that I could not deduct by working as a W-2 through a staffing company. The great part is that I can still use the staffing company to find me work, and they [the staffing company] just pay iamindependent for my services."

Jeff Wexler, MyWorkZone employee member

"Before I started my new assignment my [MyWorkZone] assistant reviewed my contract. Now that I am on the assignment, my assistant does all my invoicing, collections, tracks all of my reimbursable receipts and other paperwork. [iamindependent's] Insurance rates and retirement plans are better than those I could ever get on my own. At the end of the day, I have more billable hours, more money in my pocket and fewer headaches."

Babu Ramalingan, MyWorkZone employee member
"I found my own contract at a client, only later to find out that the client doesn't engage [self-incorporated] independent contractors directly. They told me to speak to iamindependent. At first I must admit I was skeptical, but iamindependent not only allowed me to keep my independence, they [iamindependent] actually simplified my life. They now handle all my billing and collections, and their hefty business insurances would probably allow me to work at any company I want to when this contract is done."
