Customers have told us they want more ways of showing their appreciation for freelancers delivering exceptional work. Now you have the option to seamlessly give talent a bonus when closing a contract when you've provided positive private feedback.

This unexpected recognition can enhance your relationships and encourage talent to work with you again in the future.

Hiring quality contingent talent at scale is challenging with disjointed systems, limited visibility to budgets, and a lack of transparency into candidate and contractor information.

Consolidate sourcing, hiring, onboarding, approvals, and payments into one centralized workforce system and increase visibility for end-to-end efficiency and transparency.

Getting expert advice from a highly-skilled freelancer can help you scope a project and clarify your strategy. Sometimes when you need advice, you need it now.
