First, all talent on Pangea is required to connect their calendars and create Stripe payment accounts before applying for roles, which verify their identity. We use data from candidates’ LinkedIn profiles, portfolios, and resumes to build a detailed profile of their experience—including time in full-service agencies, design studios, or marketing consultancies—and compare it to other candidates with similar backgrounds to get a bigger picture of their abilities and accomplishments. When each candidate applies to a role, we take a critical look at their body of work to select the best applicants for you to talk to. Many top fractional workers on Pangea also have reviews from past roles and recommendations from past colleagues, bosses, and other professional connections to bolster their profiles.
We pride ourselves on being able to find you top marketers in less than 48 hours after starting our search. Once your job is posted, the best fractional marketers in our private talent network will be contacted with information about your role. As new applications come in, we’ll hand-select the top candidates for you to review, and promote the two we think are best for you based on their availability, skillset, and relevancy to agencies like yours—whether full-service, design-focused, or a marketing consultancy.
A great match starts with a quick intake call with one of our talent experts. We’ll discuss your unique needs for the position and determine the deal makers + breakers that help us find the perfect match. After distilling this into a job post, we’ll employ our proprietary matching algorithm to gather a high-quality pool of candidates that match your needs and have experience working for similar agencies and delivering comparable results across strategy, media, creative, production, branding, web design, or marketing consulting. Once they’ve had 48 hours to apply, we’ll hand-pick the best 2 candidates for you to interview, or you can review each candidate yourself in our integrated applicant tracking system.
Pangea works with agencies of all budgets—from full-service shops to design studios and marketing consultancies. Our talent experts will help you pick the right balance of experience and budget to target for your search so you can get the best return on your investment. For lower budgets, we tend to suggest starting with experienced fractional designers for just a few hours a week; as you start to see results, you can scale the hours in the contract. Pangea’s flexible contracts keep you in control no matter what stage your agency is in right now.
This is a question we get a lot at Pangea. We think of fractional talent as the best of both worlds for hiring in this changing ecosystem. You get all of the flexibility of hiring a freelancer: less overhead, more control over hourly commitments from project to project, and access to experts with specialized skills. But they also come with many of the benefits of a full-time employee, buying into your agency’s mission and maintaining a long-term outlook toward growth. Because we focus on facilitating ongoing engagements, your talent is always ready to work instead of requiring hours of onboarding each time you spin up a new client project.
