Talent Pool - It’s like Fiverr, for Emerging Talents

Find junior-friendly opportunities, get paid, and develop yourself as an emerging talent.

Why do employers need juniors?

As companies worldwide face a talent shortage, juniors do not get enough employment chances. 

For you, it is difficult to find paid opportunities to show you are trustworthy, learn fast, and can get a job done.

For employers, juniors mean investing expensive senior’s time on training you, investing at least 6 months salary until you will be profitable and they are afraid you will leave to the next workplace just for boosting your salary.

We want to introduce a win-win situation where your get experience from real employers and employers get to know emerging talent like yourself with lower risks.

If you only need a computer to work, want to build your reputation by on-job-training, build relationships with entrepreneurs and managers, and will consider a job offer from an employer that already knows what you got? Then let’s get started!

 

Tailored for the needs of promising creative talents like:

  • Jordan

    In the past year, I reskilled from talent acquisition to UX design and began to diversify my portfolio. I began with branding design and currently working on UX for landing pages and small no-code products.

  • Nir

    I’m a freelance front-end developer and SEO specialist for the past 2 years. My clients are happy with their online presence and I love writing HTML and CSS, but I would love to focus on doing creative work and less on running my own business at this point.

  • Tamara

    I finished a PR course a couple months ago and got hooked by marketing. I’m motivated by turning complex ideas into snackable marketing messages in social media campaigns and UX writing for HRTech products. After doing some pro-bono work for my friends' businesses, I’m ready for new challenges.

  • Jacob

    I was a video producer but got fired due to COVID19, I learned online how to produce virtual conferences and made a few successful attempts for a few keynote speakers I know. I’d like to share this experience with ecommerce professionals.

  • Ivanna

    I’ve done many volunteer projects and non-paid internships in video storytelling, I get great feedback from previous places and want a chance to focus on that, instead of working in low-skilled part-time jobs.

Dont waste your talent

I’m Ilan Shenkar, a problem-solver with a background in business development, design, social entrepreneurship, startups, and public policy.
