Abstract The rise of the gig economy has fundamentally reshaped the landscape of modern labor, introducing both opportunities and challenges for businesses seeking to acquire and retain talent. This article investigates the key drivers of gig worker engagement, with a focus on the factors that influence both attraction and retention in a non-traditional, flexible workforce. By analyzing case studies, conducting surveys, and interviewing industry leaders, this research examines the role of compensation, flexibility, career development opportunities, work environment, and job security in shaping gig workers’ experiences. Findings reveal that gig workers prioritize flexibility in working hours and locations, competitive pay structures, and opportunities for skills development. Moreover, companies that foster a sense of community, provide access to career advancement, and offer transparent and supportive work structures are more likely to retain talent. This study suggests that businesses within the gig economy must evolve traditional talent acquisition and retention strategies by providing customized solutions that meet the unique needs of this diverse workforce. The article concludes by emphasizing the importance of developing sustainable and innovative talent management practices that not only attract gig workers but also keep them engaged over the long term.
