We collect 15+ of the most important attributes from both the candidate and employer, in the form of structured data. Our data is collected through a simple, easy to fill form. Because we collect mostly structured data, our Machine Learning powered models are able to assign and refine weights for each of the 15+ feature vectors, and assess the best matches between projects and candidates. With every decision made by both the employer and the candidate, the algorithm gets smarter, so you can get the best project matches. What is your price? SkillSoniq is free for users to post unlimited projects and screen unlimited candidates. You pay us a small placement fee only once you hire a candidate. We do not charge you a fee upfront, which helps you ease your cash flows. We charge employers 10% of the Bill Rate they agree to pay for a project. This is so that we can maintain our operations and keep working to get better candidate matches. Our pricing is much lower than what staffing companies charge, and we also beat freelance websites that charge north of 10% to give you workers in remote parts of the world. Most of our competitors charge commissions upfront, whereas with SkillSoniq, you pay us in installments, every time you pay a worker. How do I pay the worker? You will need to pay SkillSoniq every week by Tuesday at 11:59pm based on the amount of hours worked by the worker from Monday through Sunday for the previous week. We provide a consolidated invoice for all the workers you have hired on SkillSoniq, so that you have to pay just one entity, as opposed to paying several workers individually. Once we receive payment from you, we will retain the placement fee and pass on the rest to the worker. How can my company join SkillSoniq?

Unlike on most recruitment platforms, our candidates are always on the go and are actively looking for a project. This means that we have a very high interview and job offer acceptance rate on our platform, and you do not waste time reviewing a candidate who is not interested in switching jobs. Almost every candidate you contact on SkillSoniq will respond to your offer, either accepting your interview request or stating a reason for declining your interview. Once you're engaged with a candidate, our biggest piece of advice is to move quickly. Either present a project offer, or cancel the interview process within 5-10 business days. The longer you wait, the more companies and offers you're going to be competing against. You should always move as quickly as the candidate is comfortable with. Where do you get all your candidates from? We value highly skilled candidates or candidates who are willing to learn to get a job of their dreams. We attract candidates through a combination of word-of-mouth, paid and viral marketing. We also have strategic partnerships with top business, engineering and coding schools, such as Dartmouth University, Cornell University, App Academy and Launch Academy.
