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?

π We've dropped all talent-side fees and commissions to 0%, making us a commission-free talent marketplace.
β We now verify companies before giving them access to the platform or allowing them to post jobs.
π§ Talent is now discoverable by our private network of clients, who can reach out to you directly with opportunities.
π 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! ππ

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!
Pangea is the GOAT! They always have top tier talent and make it so simple to vet candidates and hire. Highly recommend to all startups looking to build a dream team.
@stackinfluence Thanks so much for the positive feedback. We're thrilled to hear that our platform has helped you - it makes all the effort worthwhile.
I've used Pangea for the last 3.5 years since I met Adam, can definitely recommend the product and service. Glad to see them growing through another successful iteration
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."
@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!
@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.
Congrats on the launch! Amazing to see how much you have accomplished over the past few months. Talk about a pivot turning into an amazing product. Excited to see what comes next!
@amos_john_domingo To differentiate yourself from other candidates on Pangea, we recommend highlighting your prior work experience and relevant skills in your profile. Including passion projects can also be a great way to showcase your interests and talents.
Thank you for your feedback and support. We wish you good luck in your job search and encourage you to stay vigilant in your efforts. We are confident that you will find the right fit for you. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or need further assistance. We are here to support you every step of the way.
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 β project to hire β is one that should be here to stay.
I'm excited to use the new and improved Pangea.
@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.
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!!
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!!
@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!
@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.
@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
