The Alpharetta-based company, a division of Pyramid Consulting, has gained traction in the life sciences, professional services, and engineering sectors. By integrating Independently’s compliance framework, Hoonr now supports contractor vetting across 60 countries, allowing firms to validate worker classification before engagements begin. This move addresses a common pain point for enterprises struggling with disjointed tech stacks and regulatory risks associated with independent talent.

Nimitt Sharma, Chief Growth Officer at Hoonr, noted that the platform’s rapid adoption confirms a market shift toward centralized workforce control. Unlike traditional models that treat compliance as a post-engagement activity, Hoonr embeds jurisdiction-specific vetting directly into its orchestration layer. Jeff Nugent, CEO of Independently, emphasized that this integration embeds classification into the daily workflow. The platform currently manages a skills-first ecosystem that combines direct sourcing, AI agents, and SOW benchmarking to help large organizations maintain agility while utilizing specialized independent professionals.
