I've been on Gratify since Dec 2016. I was hired through Gratify and used it to hire freelancers myself.

Gratify really feels different than other marketplaces. You get a private Slack channel to discuss with your client/freelancer after you are matched. The connection is real and you get to develop a stronger relationship based on human interaction.

Everything happens on Slack, so if you are already using Slack you don't need to interrupt your day to track what's happening on your open projects.

Pros:

I can find top freelancers faster and create better relationships with them. Offloading tasks takes just a couple of minutes.

Cons:

I'd like to see the Scorecards database grow even more!

Thanks for hunting @chrismessina! Scorecards are public profiles for Gratify experts. You can browse, hire, and even create recurring billing agreements with our top freelancers, all with Slack (and a little web magic). Why’d we create Scorecards? We wanted to... 1. Decrease time-spent looking for quality freelancers 2. Increase the convenience of messaging new freelancers (no annoying sign-up processes) 3. Allow you to easily continue working with freelancers you love Serious question to PH'rs… are you busy, too much? Freelancers are convenient for starting an idea or maintaining a current project. Our team built Gratify from a network of freelancers we met online. I met my co-founder (@ihor_rusi) initially via Slack, and our working relationship served as the inspiration for building Gratify. 💰PH peeps! Get $50 credit toward your first task using code PRODUCTHUNT...see below: You can browse, search, and message our experts (through Slack) via https://www.gratify.ai/scorecard... Thanks for checking us out 😎

This is a major feature upgrade for Gratify. I've been part of the platform since 2016 as a freelancer first and hiring freelancers later. Scorecard will help bring more visibility to the best freelancers available and will make it easier to create longer lasting relationships with them. Excited to see where this takes Gratify!

Hi there, looks cool but website doesn't work, can you fix it?

This seems like a great way to streamline the project offloading process. When things get busy, finding and hiring a pro freelancer will take a fraction of the time. I'll definitely have to check this out!

Great solution! I love the idea of finding a freelancer in Slack. It's perfectly embedded in Slack platform - so, nothing extra, just the useful information. Well done!

Super cool product. Slack is exactly the place where I want to talk with candidates. Love it.
