Managing freelancers gets
harder with each new hire
TalentDesk is built for companies managing a smaller list of freelancers. As your list grows and your internal processes get more complex, TalentDesk can affect the relationship with your freelancers:
It gets harder to find the right talent for each project
You lose track of freelancer availability
TalentDesk controls freelancer payments — not you
Other companies can find and steal your best talent
Worksuite adapts to the way
you and your freelancers work
Source, onboard and pay as many independent contractors as you need. Create custom onboarding and management flows that save you time and money at scale.
100% payment transparency
Pay freelancers in bulk, taking control of how each person is paid. Worksuite is not a payment intermediary.
Keep your private freelancer list private
ITalentDesk shares your best talent with others. Worksuite helps you build 1-on-1 relationships with freelancers.
Showcase your brand, not others
With TalentDesk, freelancers see TalentDesk’s brand first. Worksuite is a white label platform that won’t take the spotlight.

Frequently Asked Questions
TalentDesk is designed to manage small-scale remote workforce operations. Problems crop up when your freelance team starts to scale as TalentDesk lacks the flexibility you need. Instead, Worksuite offers solutions with greater configurability, custom payment methods and superior analytics to help you onboard, manage and pay your scaling freelance teams.
With Worksuite, your payments reach freelancers on time, in the currency of their choice. As soon as your freelancers get timesheets approved, an invoice will be raised and you can make the payment yourself or schedule it on Worksuite.
While Worksuite is a robust freelance job monitoring software to manage your growing contractor network, it might not be for everyone. If you're managing around 10 to 25 contractors, you could get away with using manual spreadsheets or basic task management tools.
