Freelancer onboarding, management, and payments made easy Work as we know it is undergoing a profound change. Every day, people around the world are getting things done on more flexible, dynamic, and distributed terms. Our mission is to enable this shift to flexible work, by empowering companies and individuals to work together in new ways. In 2015, we launched the Kalo freelancer management platform to let companies easily onboard, manage, communicate with, and pay their external workers. Since then, a range of of companies from internet to fashion -- including Google, Asos, IDEO and AirBnB -- have been able to throw away their tangle of spreadsheets and invoice emails, and work together with their freelancer and vendor teams in a clean, beautiful experience.
