Post directly or use a vendor

Both work. Which one fits depends on how much of the process you want to run yourself.

Posting directly makes sense when

  • You want to choose, test and pay people yourself
  • You need specific languages, countries or subject experts
  • You are building a team you will keep working with
  • You would rather not pay a margin on every hour

A managed vendor makes sense when

  • You need hundreds of people within days
  • You want someone else to handle contracts, payments and quality checks
  • The work is short and will not repeat

Built to keep spam out

  • Every job is checked

    Every job is checked for spam and scams before it’s listed, and jobs from new employers are reviewed by a person before they go live.

  • Work email on your domain

    Employers join with a work email on their company’s domain, confirmed by a code. Free email domains are blocked.

  • Identity verification

    Candidates can verify their identity through Stripe, and verified profiles show a tick.
