Technology has enabled us to bring all this together – creating an online community where everyone benefits. Working with FRIENDS is way more fun. They’re collaborative, creative and will always go the extra mile for you.

How FLEXSOURCING Works
With our proprietary technology we connect everyone together – brand partners, us, and our global community of makers — one online place where we all benefit. We call it FLEXSOURCING.
Let the right candidate come to you
Using our smart matching algorithm, briefs are posted to the exact &FRIENDS community that matches your brief. On average 8 perfectly matched candidates apply in the first 3 hours. You can also search using our powerful search to filter the community.
Shortlist, Message and book instantly
As an applicant shortlist is built, you can review their profile page – showcasing their specialisms, background and best work. You have access to everyone’s availability, and can instantly message and book them through the site.
Pay-as-you-go flexibility
You only pay for people you need, versus shelling out for people you don’t even know. Spend more money on reaching your audience and delivering your KPIs.

Alongside this, all our makers can get mentoring opportunities from more senior friends – a chance to collaborate and grow.
