free agent

Person who is not under permanent contract of employment but operates independently.

Fast Company is among a number of publications that has documented the rise of the ‘free agent nation’. The downsizing and delayering of the late 1980s and early 1990s led to a shift from ‘job for life’ permanent employment contracts to a situation where many individuals act as free agents, taking their skills and services from one corporation to another. The term free agent encompasses the self-employed, independent contractors and temporary workers employed through agencies.
