Freelance

Paladin provides the marketing talent and expertise you need to fulfill your short or long-term freelance and project-based staffing needs. Whether your need to:

  • Hire experienced professionals for time-sensitive projects
  • Use freelance talent during staff transitions or head count, budget or hiring freezes
  • Fill-in for employees on vacation, medical or family leave
  • Temp-to-hire option for evaluation of potential full-time employees
  • Payroll services to remove your company from employer-related obligations like unemployment insurance


We work with you to define the nature and scope of the project or freelance assignment and the exact skills and expertise for which you are looking. We discuss your working environment and culture so we can place candidates with the best personality fit to succeed within your organization. We source highly skilled freelance talent through many resources including our network of Paladin associates. We review potential matches who are currently available and present candidates to you within an approved timeline. You are always in control of whom you select and Paladin can arrange interviews, specialized reference checks or other information necessary for you to make the best choice.

One of the aspects of working with Paladin that many of our current clients appreciate includes avoiding legal and accounting hassles that come with hiring freelancers independently. When working with Paladin’s freelancers, we act as the employer of record. We carry full liability and errors and omissions insurance on all of our associates working on assignment, plus we manage all taxes and other mandatory deductions like Social Security, Medicare and workers’ compensation insurance premiums.

Paladin started as a freelance staffing agency nearly 15 years ago and the name literally means "free-lance" in medieval English. While we have expanded our service offerings over the years to include direct-hire staffing and outsourcing, we still remain dedicated to providing fast, personalized, on-target freelance staffing for all levels of marketing or creative assignments. This dedication to service makes a difference–but don’t take our word for it, just ask our clients and associates.
