TalentDesk cuts down at least 50% of our back-and-forth lag time in communication. We don't have to text and call about everything anymore, because we can just go in and see what's happening.

I would say the biggest benefit of TalentDesk is having one centralized location where we can go and get the information we need.

Apartment Therapy
Apartment Therapy, a lifestyle and interior design digital media company, struggled with managing hundreds of globally distributed freelancers.

TalentDesk's freelancer management platform consolidated multiple vendor payments into a single invoice, eliminating the need for an additional accounts payable position.

The platform replaced three separate systems with a single solution.
