At Outsized, our goal is to build a product that can more effectively use technology to efficiently match the right freelancer or firm to the right client. Matching is a tricky problem to solve and has many layers from algorithms to the psychology infused in the visual design. It means we obsess over the user experience, both internal and external. We creatively consider the right flows and inputs to get results quickly for both clients and freelancers.
Our tech stack is built to efficiently match the right freelancer or firm to the right client. Our obsession with matching the right skills to the right opportunities encompasses all components from our matching algorithm to our data collection and user experience. In matching Engineering and Product with customer-centricity, we can create unparalleled experiences for our clients.
Our goal is to move towards a platform that supports AI-enabled search and suggestions in all of the most important data-entry fields as well as search results.
