What is Fring?

We charge zero commission fees. Resulting in companies and freelancers saving serious money.”

What was your reaction when Fring won the startup pitch?

“Of course, we were very happy because we are a startup and all promotion helps us in getting Fring out there to recruiters, but also to freelancers that want to get on our platform. So for us, it’s a great opportunity to meet people that we can help with our solution and also understand the market better, so we are very happy to speak at the event.”

What can we expect at your break-out?

“We will explain how you can find follow and manage your flex talent pool, and we will explain this beyond the use of our tool. Because we have found principles that are very important when you want to have a good freelancer relationship with people that you need. We also see that the economy is shifting in a way that in some positions it is very difficult to find talent, with the result that the freelancer has more the decision to chose from multiple companies to work for. So we will explain how you can connect with them the right way and that you find the right freelancer for the job.”
