Connect companies and freelancers to build trust across your platform

Both freelancers and companies expect a messaging feature on a freelancing platform. Not only does it make the user experience better as users don‘t need to switch the conversation elsewhere, but it also builds trust. Users on both sides can access message history and proof if one party doesn‘t respect the contract.

Yes, early February works. I can do 4 days per week, with flexibility if you need a heavier week now and then.

Perfect. Second, do you have experience working directly with engineers in React and TypeScript teams, and are you comfortable presenting work to stakeholders?

Connect recruiters and jobseekers with chat to increase response rate

When a recruiter on your team is available, conversations with jobseekers can take place immediately. Recruiters can get to know the candidate before jumping on a video call, and candidates can inquire about the position by simply sending a message on the website chat.

Conversations shift to email when a recruiter or a candidate is not available, giving everyone the ability to send and receive messages even when offline.
