Summary
Kalo was born out of frustration over the way we all work together. As a design lead at Google, Peter wanted to create amazing work and more often than not this meant heavily relying freelancers. Yet this way of working caused him to spend all his time coordinating with no time left to design. Everything from finding freelancers, through to onboarding them, integrating them into his workflow and tools, right through to getting them paid, was painful. So he set out to solve a problem.
Kalo organizes our freelancers in one simple dashboard, accessible by our whole company. We can upload and categorize the freelancers, tag skills and keywords, leave star ratings and more
Kalo stores all of your freelancers in one dashboard
Finally escape that spreadsheet and store freelancer information in one dashboard accessible by all your teammates.
