Powering the businesses of tomorrow
Our new way of doing things doesn't just nail the basics, it goes one step further by unlocking new and exciting ways to integrate freelance and fractional support like never before.
We've fixed the most annoying pain points SME's and Scaleups regularly face when using traditional agencies and project platforms. We're delivering a more curated, cost efficient and flexible freelancing solution.
Read on to see how we're changing the freelancing game.
How it works
We offer two services designed to connect SME's and Scaleups to high calibre freelance support:
Rapid Hiring Service: our A.I powered research approach connects you to the best pre-vetted freelance talent in under 72 hours.
The Black Book Solution: build a targeted network of freelance support weeks or even months ahead of any active project needs. Use our free Connect tool to better organise, manage and hire freelance support seamlessly.

Building a better connection process
Our A.I powered research process opens up the global freelance talent pool to every single SME and Scaleup:
-
unlike agencies and platforms who rely on a single network of talent - we go one step further by connecting you to the best freelancers operating across the entire market.
-
we utilise various A.I tools alongside tried and tested executive search processes to access the best freelancers.

stay up to date with new freelancers entering the market who could be a great fit for your team

A simple and transparent fee model
Our fee model is built with SME's and Scaleups in mind offering a fairer, more transparent and cost effective solution.
-
each day you work with a Connect freelancer we charge you a simple fixed daily fee.
-
when you work with one or multiple Connect freelancers for a specific number of days you reach the 'Connect Cap'. At this stage, we stop charging any more fees for the rest of the year.
-
if you decide to transition a Connect freelancer to a permanent role, we won't charge you any additional recruitment fee.

"When we set out to build an AI tutor bot it was mission critical for us to find the right blend of technical expertise and innovative thinking around A.I. The A.I freelancers we ended up working with have been nothing short of phenomenal. As a growing start-up, the Connect fee cap has been a game changer in helping us continue working with great freelancers whilst avoiding any spiralling recruitment costs."

"Irfan has been extremely helpful with sourcing both customers and key members of our founding team, such as our COO. He's also a very high-integrity person who goes the extra mile to help out. We've benefited a lot from his network in a short space of time, and look forward to continuing working with him in the future!"
