Background

Verbit is a growing tech company and their marketing team is often trying to keep up with new product launches, despite a small team and limited budget. Back in 2021, VP of Marketing, Jacques Botbol realized the most efficient and cost-effective way to meet deadlines and keep up with the growing business was to augment his team with freelancers.

Challenge points

Challenge/Pain points

When it comes to marketing, finding top talent for a specific skill set is difficult and time-consuming. With so many talent sourcing platforms out there, marketers often cast a wide net and don’t have the time to fully vet talent. Furthermore, after finding the right talent, staying aligned with the company’s internal policies during the hiring and onboarding process becomes yet another challenge. Like many smaller organizations experiencing hyper-growth, Verbit did not have a structured freelancer hiring or management process to follow.

In cases like this, onboarding and paying freelancers becomes messy and unmanageable. And suddenly, managers like Jacques become a middle-man for payment processing between the freelancers and the internal finance team.
