Why is it so hard to find a Freelance Health Economist?

Even for experienced managers, finding the right freelance health economist can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack. You’ve worked with freelancers before and are well-connected, yet when an urgent project lands on your desk or you’re managing a workload overflow, no one seems available.

Why is it so difficult?

The freelance health economics market is constantly shifting. Freelancers’ availability changes rapidly—some are busy with long-term assignments, others may have stepped away from freelancing altogether, and new professionals are entering the field all the time. This dynamic environment can make it feel nearly impossible to find the right person when you need them most.

Another challenge is timing. While your projects often come with tight deadlines, finding, vetting, and onboarding a freelancer can take more time than you have. Even with your connections, you may not always know who’s available or equipped for the specific expertise your project requires.

  • The freelance market is dynamic, with availability often unpredictable.
  • Freelancers may be unavailable due to long-term commitments or leaving the market.
  • Tight project deadlines conflict with the time required for vetting and onboarding.
  • Managers often lack visibility into who has the expertise and availability for specific needs.
