Full-Stack Developer (PHP & Laravel) [CLOSED]

HelloSavvy is a freelance marketplace. They have set out to change the face of remote hiring. That’s why they don’t connect clients with task-doers. They connect people with people.

HelloSavvy wants to bring people back into the center of hiring so in the platform that is where the platform focus is, people and not just the task at hand.

For clients - those looking to hire - there is an opportunity to introduce their business, goals, and values. They will also have a dashboard that helps them walk through the hiring process with our signature process along with help articles to guide them. This will help the client hire someone that fits their company culture as well as someone who will be able to perform the tasks.

For freelancers - those looking to be hired - HelloSavvy has created a portfolio area that they can design and customize. Freelancers can basically create a beautiful landing page that showcases their services in a way that highlights their personality and skills. This portfolio can be used instead of a website and can be shared with anyone throughout the internet.
