Ever feel like your time’s slipping through your fingers? When you need to hire freelancers, finding the right people is crucial, but it shouldn’t feel like an endless slog. Speeding up the hiring process is key—because, let’s be honest, there’s plenty of other important stuff on your plate. So, what are the biggest headaches in hiring, and how can freelance platforms like Cavalry step in to help you reclaim your time and connect with skilled professionals? Let’s break it down

We get it—asking your team to try a new platform can feel like trying to get your nan to use TikTok. It’s awkward, slow, and a bit of a gamble. But what if this platform made life easier? What if it could chop out three manual tasks you’re sick of doing? Would you give it a shot?

We hear it all the time: teams drowning in email threads about onboarding, freelancer updates, and shared notes that inevitably get buried. Been there. That’s why we built Cavalry—to put everything you need in one spot, no digging required. Write notes directly on freelancer profiles, share talent pools with CVs neatly bundled up, and send bulk messages without breaking a sweat.

2024 Hiring: DIY or Work Smarter?

Yes, you can throw your job on LinkedIn and hope for the best, but there are limits—and let’s be honest, there’s still plenty of manual faffing about.

So, what’s our ace up the sleeve? 

AI Talent Matching

Meet Cavalry IQ: our shiny new AI-powered matching tool. You tell it what you’re after, and it finds your perfect match faster than you can say “scroll fatigue.”

No more endless sifting through profiles that are almost right. Prolonged hiring isn’t just a headache; it’s expensive. SHRM reckons unfilled roles cost UK companies £300–£500 a day. Let’s not go there.

Account-Managed Services

We’re not your run-of-the-mill recruiters, but as the underdogs, we’re all-in on helping you succeed. Struggling to find the right specialist or tap into a particular market? We’ll do the digging to bring them into our community—and your talent pool.

We also streamline your shortlist. No one wants 50+ candidates who don’t even meet basic criteria. We’ll tag the best as “Recommended,” alongside your ‘favourited’ to get a curated list!

Talent Pools

Imagine having your go-to freelancers on standby, ready to roll when you need them. That’s the magic of talent pools. It’s like meal prepping, but for hiring. When the time comes, a bulk message or private brief is all it takes.

On average, it takes 30–60 days to fill a role in the UK. Why wait when you could be ahead of the game?

Your Private CRM—On the House

Got a black book of trusted contacts? Upload it to Cavalry. Use it to organise briefs, build pools, and manage talent without the extra costs. It’s your CRM, but smarter.

Payroll Made Painless

Even after you’ve found the one (freelancer, not soulmate), there’s still admin to tackle. Not with us. Cavalry’s payroll service handles the compliance nitty-gritty. Freelancers submit invoices, you approve them, and we take care of the rest—for just a 5% fee.

Still thinking ‘But.. Another Platform?’ Yes, but hear Us Out.

Sure, it’s another tool, but what if it saves you time, stress, and the frustration of hopping between apps? 

Cavalry is here to cut the chaos.
