Since its inception in 2010, Work Market has helped countless organizations build an on-demand workforce, leveraging freelance talent to meet key business priorities.

"It is a great honor to be included in CRN's exclusive list of the top emerging vendors, validating the impact our solutions have in a dynamic and rapidly changing world of work," said Stephen DeWitt, CEO of Work Market.

The exciting technology vendors recognized in this year's Emerging Vendors List don't disappoint -- the innovative technologies they bring to the table provide channel partners with product options that will propel their success into the future," said Robert Faletra, CEO of The Channel Company. "We congratulate 2015's Emerging Vendors for their outstanding efforts and for delivering cutting-edge technology solutions that will continue to evolve the IT channel."
