Our Secret Sauce
30+ Years Building This Industry
From helping 50+ enterprises build freelance programs, to building the industries top solutions, you’ll come across us within the next 6 months.
This is crucial, because to make freelance applications work you’ll need to:
You can’t boil the ocean, and the freelance economy is an ocean that you need to find your unique niche in. There are 200+ marketplaces, and over 1,000 solutions.
Without the right metrics, you’ll be stuck in intro calls, leadership meetings, and white papers to justify why you ‘should’ spend time on this.
We’ve worked as customers, partners, and consultants within the top providers like Upwork, Freelancer, Fiverr, Worksome, etc
Most likely you’ll start building net new, but to succeed you’ll need to integrate your people and processes within your existing procurement, VMS, and MSP landscape.
Your secret to scale
Access to 1,000+ Providers and Channels
The biggest change in the freelance economy today is the need to expand beyond one partner. Whether matching, classifying, or managing talent, our clients need an independent partner to help them negotiate and deploy trusted providers.
Avoid “this isn’t working but we don’t want 12 months to sign another platform”. Embrace the right talent, at the right time, without mattering which platform.
