"I've used Kalo as a contractor and employee. It's user-friendly and intuitive. Great platform!"

What do you like best? I think it's searching abilities are fantastic. I can search by project/contractor, etc. if I'm on the employee end. As a contractor, it's easy to navigate to find what I need, or who to ask if I'm lost. What do you dislike? As a contractor, I had trouble finding projects for if I needed to take action on something/status of things. I think I figured it out, but maybe prompts could be more obvious.

"Very efficient and a useful tool to see all our freelancers in one place"

What do you like best? The availability feature, the individual profile element images that everyone has, the message board function. I also like the rating element and seeing how has completed our onboarding process. The interface is lovely and a pleasure to look at every day. What do you dislike? That you're aren't notified if a message has been sent to you. A colleague has to tell you that they've sent you a message which is annoying (unless I'm doing it wrong). The review feature is ...

"Kalo is a pretty good way to track freelancers"

What do you like best? I like the ability to quickly and easily assign projects, get updates on when they're complete and send/receive attachments all in an organized way What do you dislike? I would love more project management features and automation. For example, sending the same type of task (rate, title, etc.) to the same asignee several times per week could be more automatic and less manual with better templates. Recommendations to others considering the product: It's a learning curve ...

"Easy way to keep freelancers organized"

What do you like best? I like that Kalo takes our invoices out of spreadsheets and puts them in one place. It's easy to create invoices for freelancers instead of having them send their own. I can pay them by story instead of on a monthly basis. What do you dislike? I don't like the automated feedback box that pops up after I complete a task. I want to be done as fast as possible, and not every single task requires feedback. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have ...

"Kalo to manage my independent video contractors"

What do you like best? Flexibility of on boarding and payment types (fixed, hourly, etc) What do you dislike? Which invoices could easily be grouped into a single weekly payment What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? simple payment solution for contractors. Easy to break up parts of a product and assign to different contrators.

"Such a great resource!"

What do you like best? It's been great having all of our contractors in one, easy to use interface. Being able to onboard and track tasks in one place has been huge! What do you dislike? I would like to see some integration with other programs like asana, slack, etc. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? We're able to track our projects, budgets, and deadlines with all of our contractors.

"Easy experience"

What do you like best? Onboarding is fast and easy, and once a freelancer onboards, I can create an invoice and pay them immediately. What do you dislike? I really don't have any complaints. There are more fields than I need, but I can avoid filling them out. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? Freelancers don't have to send invoices (in varying formats that can be hard to read). Everything is transparent and freelancer can track payment.
