Freelancing is undeniable to be growing and representing a substantial part of the overall talent marketplace, proven by the record of more than 30% of employees in the US are freelancers, and that figure is growing at an remarkable speed on a worldwide scale. But freelancers suffer a lot in that billion-dollar industry since they have no control of their personal data - which they have to post on centralized platform to get access to just a limited firms and have to pay a high commission of 10-15% for their hard-working results.

Talao is the world'sfirst Ethereum-based Decentralized Autonomous Organisation (DAO) for the Freelance Industry, aiming to provide services for 100 million freelancers around the world with the help of blockchain technology. Specifically, they would get access to a wide pool of companies recruiting potential job seekers on the blockchain-powered decentralized platform, giving them advantages that conventional market can not offer: smart contract-based payments, a strong community-based reputation, eliminating the role of middlemen, etc.

On the other hand, blue chip companies who are facing the challenge of integrating a new workforce within their processes and Information Systems can also benefit from the Talao platform. Normally, staffing agencies and freelancing marketplace operators are a good way to source Talent but, as time changes, it can be clearly seen that they cannot provide solutions to manage this new workforce according to the purchasing and contractualization process of their client. The Talao Enterprise Freelancing Marketplace (EFR) proposal is an offering for those companies to establish their own freelancing platform for a community of talent working in their particular activity.

The Talao EFR offering is original and unique, and is not offered by the competition. It corresponds to the rapid development of the use of freelancing marketplaces for the new ‘work on demand’ economy. The Talao team believes this new kind of technical solution will enable a new market for the staffing industry in the future, currently the missing link between large public Talent bases and companies’ Information Systems.

This offer provides several strong advantages for clients :

• Capitalize on the Talao public talent base to recruit new talent.
• Develop.a specific community of Talent
• Access a tool adapted to the purchasing and contracting processes of the company.
• Demonstrate the company’s involvement in the new token economy and blockchain technology

Team

People are the core of any project. And Talao has the best ones working for it.

Advisors:

The advisory board of Talao project also consists of extraordinary people in the field with useful and practical experiences for the Talao team to learn and apply.

Gaspard Koenig - a French philosophy professor and writer, developing liberal / libertarian thinking, is currently working as Talao's advisor to assist the project team in exploring the consequences of blockchain tools on professional lives.

Michael Amar, board member of Chain Accelerator is an illustrating example. He is the perfect fit to expand Talao's global presence and get a the best spot in the crypto sphere.

A few weeks ago, Dr. Luc JULIA, VP of Innovation at Samsung and former Apple Director of Siri at Apple, joined Talao as an Advisor as well - which does not show the capability of Talao project in terms of human resources but also indicates the potential of this project - there must be a reason why those remarkable talents are fascinated by it.

Business Partnerships

In order to implement such a huge project, collaborations from different stakeholders are necessary. And Talao has been doing pretty well with this factor.

Fusion Foundation LTD, creator of a public blockchain for fully fledged financial functions has recently confirmed their official partnership with Talao to foster the development of new blockchain-based financial services for the work on demand economy.

Kmong, the premier Korean online talent marketplace, also announced their partnership agreement with Talao to deploy the Talao blockchain-based protocol and token to share certified professional data among Kmong’s 250,000 freelancing talent and clients.

DAOstack - the creator of the DAOstack framework - is also in the list of Talao's partners. DAOstack would will provide the technical foundation for the Talao DAO, enabling freelancers to efficiently cooperate and self-govern using TALAO tokens, the Reputation Protocol and the Talao platform.

And there are still a lot more for you to discover, please go to their Medium page or ICO site for further information.
