The future of work is evolving at a dizzying pace. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in organizations, the digitization of freelance work and the need for agile work structures are reshaping the traditional dynamics of employment.
In this scenario, at Shakers we position ourselves as a pioneering platform, leading the transformation of work by combining human talent and AI agents.
And why now? I wanted to elaborate a bit more on the reasons that have brought us here, which are actually very similar to the reasons that made us found Shakers four years ago.
1. Liquid and AI-powered workforce: The new era of flexible labor
Companies are adopting work models with smaller, more flexible and agile teams, where AI and human talent collaborate to optimize productivity and drive innovation.
This hybrid model is becoming increasingly common, especially as AI becomes a key tool not only for increasing efficiency, but also for performing autonomous tasks, reducing costs and speeding up decision making. The hybrid model went from being the future to becoming the present. It is not about substituting but combining to have the best possible team.

2. The Convergence Between the Labor Market and Software: Platforms as Shakers
Talent platforms are evolving beyond being simple intermediaries between companies and freelancers. Today, they are becoming operating systems of modern work, capable of integrating both freelancers and AI agents to optimize processes and reduce costs.
Organizations that adopt this model will be able to increase their productivity by up to 55% and reduce their costs by 27%
At Shakers, we aspire to become the perfect partner for companies, an extension that helps them become more agile and better.
3. Talent orchestration platforms: The dynamic work revolution
We didn't build Shakers to be just a freelancer platform, but a work orchestration system that manages dynamic projects, seamlessly integrating human talent and AI agents.
With a flexible and scalable work model, companies can access highly skilled teams on demand, rather than relying on traditional full-time hires.
This approach not only improves efficiency, but also allows companies to adapt quickly to market needs. What sets us apart is that we are not just a marketplace, but a strategic ally, a partner with whom to manage projects and the best talent to develop them.
4. Growth of Specialized and Flexible Talent
The demand for specialized talent is booming. According to forecasts, the talent outsourcing market is expected to grow from €180B to €280B in the next five years, reflecting a shift towards hiring highly skilled teams rather than full-time employees.
Shakers is uniquely positioned to meet this demand by providing access to specialized and flexible talent for companies around the world. Our mission is to create a space where talent and projects can connect and make the most of their collaboration.
5. The Role of Shakers: Driving Transformation with AI and Flexible Models
Shakers doesn't just connect companies with freelancers. Our platform is building a future where organizations can manage both their internal and external workforce in an agile way, integrating AI agents to improve productivity and reduce costs. As AI continues to evolve, Shakers aims to become the key infrastructure that businesses will need to operate more efficiently and dynamically. That's why we're working to be ready for that moment.
And that's why we are launching Shakers AI, as a first step in this direction.
What is Shakers AI? A copilot designed to eliminate tedious, time-consuming and manual hiring processes, allowing companies to define their project needs and, consequently, the skills required, finding the right talent in a matter of minutes, improving efficiency and reducing costs.
What sets Shakers AI apart from other traditional solutions is its ability to reason and argue throughout the selection process. Through a fast and fluid conversation and through specific questions, it builds an optimized briefing that the user can customize and adjust in real time, adding more context to their project needs, like "the Whatsapp of hiring".
Once the brief is created, Shakers AI proposes a project roadmap in just 5 minutes, providing real-time cost and schedule estimates, giving users full visibility. And as a final step, it provides a detailed ranking of candidates and clear reasons for their selection, eliminating friction and speeding up the hiring process.
What do we want? To make the job easier for all parties involved. At Shakers we seek to develop products that simplify the day-to-day work of both our clients and our community of freelancers, and that is the main reason why Shakers AI was born. We are committed to being at the forefront of the development of our products and to continue to apply both artificial intelligence and new technological innovations that help companies and talents to prepare for and adapt more effectively and faster to the new work models of the future.
Vision for the Future of Work: Human-AI Collaboration
The adoption of generative AI is transforming the labor market. In sectors such as customer service and administrative support, AI will reduce demand for temporary jobs, while platforms such as Shakers will see an increase in demand for specialized talent to handle complex tasks. AI is creating new, more agile and efficient work models, which presents a significant opportunity for companies that know how to adapt.
This change also presents challenges, which are are actually opportunities: we will have to change jobs, transform them and accompany organizations to manage this transition process properly, ensuring that human teams and AI collaborate efficiently.
Shakers has a clear vision for the future of work: seamless collaboration between humans and AI agents. Our platform is evolving to be the infrastructure that enables companies to manage dynamic teams, with human talent and AI agents working together, adapting quickly to global demand.
As we move into this new era, we want to position ourselves as the catalyst for this change, leading the transformation to a smarter, more agile and efficient future of work.
