Marketplace
A start-up wanted to build a feature-rich marketplace platform for hiring remote workers, with extensive functionality, great design and a code base stable enough to support millions of users.
Building a Complete Platform
The plan was to build a platform allowing employers to post a wide variety of job types and search or browse worker profiles, while workers can create profiles and seek out job opportunities.

Competitor Limitations
Competing platforms provide insufficient tools, inhibiting collaboration and workflow.
Generic Feedback Systems
Generic client feedback systems lack personalization. Employers can't sort by the qualities they value most in a potential hire.
Tiny File Transfer Limits
The industry leader has a 25MB file transfer limit, forcing most users to go off-platform to submit and receive work - exactly what every platform wants to avoid.
Generic Experiences
Competitor websites all have generic home pages, using a similar design to present similar information.
Beating the Competition
Smart Rating System
Instead of the generic client feedback system favored by competitors, we implemented an innovative rating system that allows each employer to rate and sort workers by the specific performance categories they care about most.
Massive File Transfers
While competitors force most users to leave the platform to exchange files, we built the only file exchange system in the field that allows 10GB transfers.
Delivered Results
The first hiring platform to include a true project management system that ensures employers are happy with every single piece of work they receive.
*Based on industry leader's 2019 10-K annual report
Designed for Results
Our design team built upon this strong functionality with a modern and minimalist home page that immediately gives visitors a beautiful presentation of the most compelling reasons to try the service.
We made the platform easier to navigate, better looking, and more exciting than any other company in the field.
