👋 Hey Product Hunters, As a Co-Founder of Contra, I'm excited to unveil something we've been passionately working on: Contra for Companies. This all-in-one platform revolutionizes how you hire, manage, and pay freelancers and contractors. Ever juggled a spreadsheet to track your talent pool, their contact info, rates, deliverables, and projects? That's exactly what motivated us. After hiring hundreds of freelancers, I've experienced firsthand the challenges of managing talent. That's why Contra for Companies is a game-changer, integrating talent discovery, management, and project oversight into one seamless platform. It's designed to empower companies to scale their teams effortlessly with a skills-based workforce. Take a moment to watch our demo video for a sneak peek of what we're bringing to the table. A heartfelt thank you to our incredible team for turning this vision into reality, especially as we celebrate Contra's 3rd anniversary. It's a proud moment for us, but truly, it's just the start. The best is yet to come. 🚀 Love the launch? Take a minute to engage https://twitter.com/kuizinas/sta...

Contra's first ever product launch for hiring! We're an independent-first team driven by the belief that anyone can work the way they want. Now we're releasing the product we wish we all had – and then we built – everything companies need to hire the way they want. On Contra, companies can grow, manage and pay a team of flexible talent (freelancers, contractors, fractional) and scale their capabilities beyond limits. A win-win for both independent talent and companies 🤝 I've personally used the product to hire incredible experts for +20 projects and it's become an integral part of how I manage brand and creative work. This one is a long time in the making (it's Contra's 3 year anniversary!) but it's only just the beginning: a launchpad for so much more to come.

I'll be honest — working with incredible fractional talent has been a missed opportunity...until recently. We've started using Contra Teams across ODF and it's incredibly exciting to get to coordinate our collaborations with talented freelancers. Any cool design/website updates you see from us in the coming months will be thanks to Contra!

Love another launch by Contra! 😮 This is so helpful and well-thought-out for companies. The graphics, design, video and everything else are already top-notch (as expected 😉). This for sure is gonna bring a big smile for HRs and companies, can't wait to see how it impacts me and others as freelancers 🤩

I believe most here will agree that the best moments technology brings us the happen when you can stand exactly at the point of discovery of something new. Its impossible to fake this feeling as much as it is impossible to ignore it . When you can look back and see the high time + money sunk into the cracks of running your business and at the same time gain hope and clarity by gazing into a new way of doing things, the world just clicks and technology slaps a great big smile on your face, schedule and wallet. This is how I have been feeling about the approach that we have brought into the world with Contra for Companies. Its time to rid yourself of the inefficiencies, of the spreadsheets, emails, messages, calendar notes, bank statements. Its time to roll up everything into Contra and let us close the gaps for you so you can go back to doing your thing. Cant wait for all of you to try it out first-hand! Arriba y adelante!

Incredibly proud of all the work the team has done over the past few months! Hiring is an integral part of running your own business, but filing taxes, managing your finances and everything in between makes it harder than it is. That's why choosing a flexible hiring strategy will always be the better option, especially if it's done through Contra 💛 It just makes everything easier, from discovering contractors to directly hiring and managing the project - it's smooth and most importantly, all in one place 🚀 So happy I get to be a part of this team, this launch and this AMAZING product!

Contra has always been focused on building an Independent-first platform. This focus is what led us to dream up Contra for Companies about a year ago. We knew that in order to build the best platform for top Independents, we must also build the best platform for top companies. Contra for Companies enables any company (from early seed startups to high growth companies to agencies) to build and manage a flexible workforce. We've heard countless times that high productive teams need to seamlessly & efficiently fill their project needs and skill gaps with top talent. But, there's not an all-in-one tool that does this. We believe that Contra for Companies is it. From managing invoices & global payments, to building a collaborative network to sourcing from the broader Contra talent network, all of your freelance needs are now in one place. A huge thank you to our team for the hard work & devotion to making this happen and to our super fans, old and new, you are who we build for & what keeps us going!

So happy to ship this! By making it easier and faster for companies to hire for project-based work, we can greatly expand the opportunities to independent creators and builders everywhere! Thanks to everyone who has supported us along the way! If you're an independent contractor, please tell your friends about Contra, and invite your clients to try our new tools that make it even easier than ever to find talent and hire for project-based work!

Super excited to be celebrating our 3-year anniversary with the launch of Contra for Companies! 🚀 Contra has always been about empowering freelancers to grow their independent businesses. And now, with Contra for Companies, we're giving companies love too – now they can source, hire, and manage top-notch talent as flexibly as they need. Ever wondered how companies, including us at Contra, manage to ship like a team 10x their size? The secret lies in building a robust network of talented, skills-based freelancers who can be engaged with at the time of need. It's about creating a healthy ecosystem of great companies and great talent. With Contra for Companies, we're not just offering a marketplace; we're kickstarting a new way of working with a whole new set of tools that fosters adaptability, collaboration, and organization, with the goal of taking your business to the next level! ✨

Huge Contra fan. Loving it 👏🏻

Congratulations!! This is a huge step in Contra revolutionizing the freelancing market and seriously improving how freelancers work with companies!! 🚀 🎉 🥳 💛

Super exciting--what makes Contra better than products like Deel or Upwork for companies to hire with?

Hiring freelancers usually ends up on the back burner for most companies, especially startups. But when they finally do, it's a headache for everyone involved. That's where Contra comes in. We've spent years creating a platform that puts freelancers first. Now, we're doing the same for companies. With Contra for Companies, managing freelancers is a breeze. It's all about making those tasks that used to be a chore, simple and painless. Even small teams can now punch way above their weight, working with freelancers in a way that makes them look and move like they're 10 times bigger. We're here to change how work gets done. Contra is leading the charge towards a future where work is more flexible, teams are more dynamic, and everyone gets to focus on what they do best. We're only getting started and the best is yet to come!

Excited to share our new launch, Contra for Companies! We've been hard at work building a platform to make hiring contractors simple and seamless for teams of all sizes. Contra for Companies will enable teams to easily find new talent, manage projects, and handle payroll, all in a single platform. We hope you enjoy it! 🚀

Since the beginning, hiring flexible talent ourselves has been a part of how we work. As amazing as our team is, we couldn't have built Contra into what it is today without the support of so many equally amazing freelancers 💛 What makes this launch special is that this idea grew in large part from our own experiences (and challenges) in hiring and managing these extraordinary folks. So I'm pumped that we've built something that not only truly brings value to clients, but something that has become an integral part of how we do business as well. I'm so proud of all the folks that made this happen and so excited to share this launch with this community today!

Just stopping by to say hello and support the Contra fam! 💪🏾 Great platform, great people, great results. Congrats on the launch!

Might be wrong, but there seems to be quite a few platforms/marketplaces like this in the market. I've never been a user personally, but would be interesting to hear what the differentiated value is?

Wow, this is interesting! Congratulations on the launch, and may luck be on your side today! ❤️🦄

As an engineer on the Contra team, I’m proud to contribute to a platform that revolutionizes the way companies hire and manage freelance talent. Our mission was to simplify these processes with a seamless, all-in-one solution, and seeing our vision come to life has been incredibly rewarding. Thank you to our dedicated team and supportive community. We’re excited for the future and committed to enhancing our platform to better serve our users.

I could not be more excited about this product and the impact it will have on companies and freelancers alike. I’ve been on all sides - hiring flexible talent in both an agency and startup setting, and I was a freelancer myself. Based on those experiences, I can honestly say that Contra for Companies is going to shake up the flexible talent world in a major (and fantastic) way. Saying goodbye to disjointed spreadsheets, slack threads, and manual expense entries is going to make it so much easier for all of us - both freelancers and those who hire them - to do more amazing work. What I love most about Contra is that it creates a space for companies and flexible talent to work together in a way that we all enjoy and feel proud of, while also enabling everyone to scale. I wish I’d had Contra for Companies 10 years ago, and I’m so happy to share its impact with the world now!
