Hey there, Product Hunt community! πŸ‘‹ I’m Adam, co-founder of Pangea, and I’m thrilled to share our relaunch with you. At Pangea, we believe the future of work should be flexible, and we've redesigned our platform to enable work on your own terms. So, what's new? 🌏 We've opened up Pangea to everyone who is looking to grow in their professional careers. πŸ†“ We've dropped all talent-side fees and commissions to 0%, making us a commission-free talent marketplace. βœ… We now verify companies before giving them access to the platform or allowing them to post jobs. 🧭 Talent is now discoverable by our private network of clients, who can reach out to you directly with opportunities. πŸ”Ž You can now browse 1,000+ companies by industry, size, and funding and connect with them via shareable profiles with a single click. We're excited to hear your thoughts and feedback on our relaunch! Join us in becoming the #1 place where people find meaningful work on their own terms! πŸŒπŸš€ (also, thanks @mwseibel for the hunt!)

Hey Y'all! My name is John, I'm one of the Co-founders of Pangea.app, and I'm really excited to share what we've been building! We hope Pangea will resonate with people who have tried using traditional freelance platforms in the past but experienced the misalignments in incentives and want a better alternative. The large mark-ups on all paid invoices, the limitations in converting to full-time teammates, and the general sketchiness on both sides of these marketplaces are things we want to address at Pangea. By charging companies an annual membership to join the network instead of commission fees and off-boarding fees, we can promote better platform dynamics for both talent and companies. As a startup, we've experienced the benefits of working with talent on a contract-to-hire basis. It's a great way to learn if the working relationship is a good fit for both sides. Thanks for checking us out!

I love this idea. Nice work @adam_alpert2

@adam_alpert2 @jbiest40 Thanks for the support!
Eli Rosen
Why is Product Management the one field of expertise that is not available when creating a talent profile? I see Marketing, Business, Engineering, Design, and Writing. None of those has an option for "Product Manager."
John Tambunting
@eli_rosen Thank you for bringing this up Eli! Iterating on the field of expertise is something in our very near product roadmap. We've gotten feedback similar to yours about it feeling like a friction point. Will keep in mind the PM role when we update this, thanks!
Tae Sam Lee Zamora
@eli_rosen Hello Eli, thank you for bringing this up. We are working hard on revamping that field of expertise to be more inclusive of all professions and titles.

Amos John
This is by far one of the best products I've used here especially as a Freelancer in Web3 Digital Marketing.
Amos John
Well, I mean, I've checked it in the App Store. I applied and got seen but I haven't yet had any contracts. Looking forward! CHEERS!
Adam Alpert
@amos_john_domingo Thanks Amos! So happy to have you join the community!

I'm a big believer in the Pangea team's ability to craft a product that is genuinely valuable to it's users. They are a group committed to impacting freelancers and startups alike and this latest update proves it. I've used Pangea to facilitate conversations with talent in previous roles and for my own projects. The platform is a cost-effective way to match with high-impact individuals; while this innovative model – project to hire – is one that should be here to stay. I'm excited to use the new and improved Pangea.
Charlie Robinson
@scottbagley Thank you for sharing your positive feedback. We're delighted to hear that you're a believer, and we look forward to continuing to provide you with a platform that meets your needs.
John Tambunting
@scottbagley Thank you Scott for sharing your experiences on Pangea. We're always trying to improve, and we also think project to hire is the future!
Melis GΓΆkalp
Pangea is an amazing platform for freelancers, students and alike! I hope it is seen by more people on this platform and gets more recognition. Imagine being able to find employment easily and be able to transform it to a full-time job! I am very happy and honored that I was involved in this product's development early on and got to use it as a student in college. Now I'm seeing it grow myself and feeling more excited than ever. Let's go!!
Tae Sam Lee Zamora
@melisgokalp Thank you for your support Melis!
Adam Alpert
@melisgokalp Thank you Melis!! We so appreciate your contributions and your continued support after all these years means the world to me and the team
Conder Shou
Our first hire (who is now our Tech Lead) was first introduced to us as a contractor, but the platform we found him on wasn't built for us to easily hire him off of it. This totally hits the nail on the head when it comes to underserved opportunities. Congrats Pangea team!!
John Tambunting
@conder Thank you for sharing your personal experience around this! We think we're heading in the right direction with contract-to-hire. It's what we do at Pangea internally. Appreciate the kind words!
Tae Sam Lee Zamora
@conder Thank you for sharing your experience! Stories from founders like you are what inspired us to focus on reimagining the contract-to-hire experience.
Andrew Thompson
@conder We're trying to make sure the next generation of founders finds the same success with contract-to-hire that you did Conder! Thanks for sharing & double thanks for your support
Adam Alpert
@conder This is Epic! And exactly what we kept hearing. Excited to build on this release (and congrats on Sigma btw! I was in Kairos)
Johan Steneros
