02 / The introduction

Private by design.
Clear before you send.

The planned reply flow gives both sides a clear record of what was shared and when.

For companies · planned

Scope. Review. Agree.

Submit a mandate with a private contact email and the company terms. An owner reviews the listing before it appears publicly.

For freelancers · planned

Verify. Preview. Reply.

After verifying an email, a freelancer could share relevant experience, availability, a rate and an optional CV. Before sending, they would see what reaches the named company, including contact details in that CV.

After an introduction · planned

Report hires privately.

The platform would record the introduction and confirm each reply. The parties can then communicate directly; engagement reporting would link to that introduction. Companies pay freelancers directly and the platform fee separately.

03 / The model

Free to browse. Straightforward by default.

Proposed pricing keeps the basics open and makes any success fee visible at submission.
