Contract Staffing Marketplace for 'FTE-Seeking' Orgs

A lightweight job-board plugin that integrates with LinkedIn Jobs, Indeed, and Greenhouse that allows organizations to post roles with a toggle for 'open to contract/flexible arrangements.' Freelancers and agencies filter by this toggle and submit proposals directly. Organizations see both FTE and contract bids side-by-side, making it easy to compare cost and risk. The plugin surfaces contract-friendly talent that traditional job boards bury.

Original Problem

Freelancers lose opportunities when organizations explicitly want full-time employees instead of contractors

Freelancers and service providers struggle to convert job postings that explicitly request employees into paid contract work. Organizations filtering for employees reject freelance proposals outright, forcing freelancers to either ignore these opportunities or spend time crafting pitches that address the employee requirement gap. Current solutions don't help freelancers reposition their services or negotiate alternative arrangements when hiring managers have already decided they need permanent staff.
