Hoonr Accelerates Enterprise Growth and Expands Global Freelance Management Capabilities

Three major enterprise client wins and a new partnership with Independently highlight growing momentum for Hoonr's AI-first Workforce Orchestration platform

ALPHARETTA, Ga., Sept. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Hoonr, an AI-first Workforce Orchestration platform, today announced significant enterprise growth and expanded global Freelance Management capabilities, continuing strong momentum since launch in April 2026.

In just five months, this fully integrated Direct Sourcing and Workforce Orchestration platform has been selected by three Fortune 500 enterprises across the life sciences, professional services and engineering sectors for its advanced AI, analytics, and sourcing abilities. 

These early milestones demonstrate the need for Hoonr as enterprises look to truly orchestrate and manage disjointed tech stacks and enhance their workforce strategies with candidate- focused insights. 

"The momentum we have experienced since launching Hoonr validates the need for a fundamentally different approach to workforce management," said Nimitt Sharma, Chief Growth Officer, Hoonr. "Enterprises need visibility and control across talent, technology, compliance, data, and AI. The growth of our customer base, along with the continued expansion of the platform, reinforces the value Hoonr delivers."

As part of its continued platform expansion, Hoonr has also introduced a full-cycle global Freelance Management System (FMS), giving organizations a seamless way to source, engage, onboard, manage, and analyze independent talent worldwide. This expertise is strengthened through its partnership with Independently, a global independent contractor classification and compliance platform supporting 60 countries with documentation and audit-ready records. The integration embeds jurisdiction-specific contractor vetting directly into Hoonr, helping clients validate worker classification before an engagement, and minimizing the risk of non-compliance.

"Hoonr is building an intelligent orchestration layer across the extended workforce, bringing together talent, technology, data, and AI in a way that reflects where enterprise workforce management is headed," said Jeff Nugent, CEO of Independently. "With Independently, classification and compliance become a natural part of Hoonr's workflow rather than a separate process that happens after the fact."

Hoonr combines Direct Sourcing, Onboarding and Compliance, Freelance Management, AI Agents, SOW Benchmarking, and Workforce Analytics within a unified, skills-first ecosystem. By reducing the need for fragmented tools across labor categories, Hoonr provides an orchestration layer designed to improve visibility, intelligence, governance, and control across the total workforce.

"Organizations are increasingly turning to freelancers and independent professionals to access specialized skills and create a more agile workforce," added Namita Tirath, Chief Customer Officer, Hoonr. "Our expanded FMS capabilities, with Independently's embedded classification expertise, allow customers to manage independent talent as part of a broader, more connected workforce strategy."
