    Pref-Tech’s Approach to the Gig Economy

    Security Info Watch profiles how Pref-Tech’s approach of focusing on in-house employees before seeking outside contractors allows them to deliver quality and craftsmanship to customers.

    Everybody’s talking about the gig economy – the use of freelancers or subcontractors to fill a wide range of tasks and positions. Should security integrators hire more staff…or rely on this emerging type of labor pool?

    The gig economy is everywhere – highlighted by companies such as Uber, Lyft, Instacart, Rover, Wags and others.
