Pioneering the First IADVO Solving the Certified Expertise Crisis

At GurusDirect.com, we are building the worlds first IADVO - an Integrated Autonomous Distributed Virtual Organization - a new category of Social Talent Marketplace designed for certified technology experts.

The Global Talent Crisis: An $8.5 Trillion Emergency
