What's Inside
TalentDesk is a cloud-based freelancer management platform that helps companies source, onboard and manage freelancers, as well as consolidate invoices and automate payments. TalentDesk features a real-time dashboard that enables managers to keep track of project progress, budgets, and deadlines, as well as subdivide projects into tasks and allocate them to specific people instantly. The system also facilitates collaboration between freelancers and internal teams with built-in communication capability.
TalentDesk predominantly helps companies expand and manage their freelance and remote workforce. If you mainly work with full-time employees locally and seldom engage freelancers or only work with a few freelancers on a short-term project basis, TalentDesk isn’t a good fit for your business. The platform is not the cheapest solution in the market either.

TalentDesk has three plans:
- Freelancer Management System (FMS): This plan costs $399/month for five admin seats, and you need to pay $99/month per extra seat. Contractors and Freelancers get free access to the software.
- Agent of Record (AOR): $49/month per contractor.
- Employer of Record (EOR): The pricing for EOR support starts from $399/month per employee and may vary depending on the country.
TalentDesk is a great option for companies working with freelancers on a regular basis. Companies looking for ways to grow their remote workforce but don’t want to get involved in the admin nitty gritty, can also benefit from TalendDesk’s offering.
- TalentDesk’s team recently launched more accounting integrations for data syncing. Xero and Oracle Netsuite are among those integrations.
- They’re also opening up their API, which means in addition to pre-built integrations, organizations now can custom fit TalentDesk into their established platforms and processes.
- Businesses can now take advantage of TalentDesk’s e-contracts to get contracts signed faster and easier.
