What is MatchStaff
MatchStaff is a free non-commercial matching platform for companies and IT specialists worldwide. We help teams and specialists connect across the world and support a free, open internet — without recruiter intermediaries, commissions, or public résumés.
The client publishes a request with budget and stack. The algorithm builds a shortlist from market profiles and specialists from partner companies. The company sends invites, both sides discuss details in chat, and contacts are revealed only after mutual consent.
The goal is predictable matching: less noise, transparent Match Score, honest rates, and contact control at every stage.
Who it is for
- Client companies — shortlists for backend, frontend, DevOps, analytics, and other roles. Invites from matches, chat, project statuses, and post-project reviews.
- Supplier companies — a catalog of their specialists (bench) and incoming B2B requests from other companies to place specialists on projects.
- IT specialists with a platform account — relevant company invites (not a feed of every job opening), transparent budget, Active toggle, and contact protection.
- Small teams and product studios — flexible reinforcement: part-time, project-based, or long-term outstaff.
How a client company works
- Company profile: name, tax ID, website, description — a Verified badge builds specialist trust.
- Request: stack, seniority, format, duration, rate, task description. Templates speed up repeat hiring.
- Shortlist with Match Score: market specialists on the platform and partner candidates from B2B supplier catalogs.
- Invite from match card → discussion in chat (including files) → project acceptance.
- Active project in the dashboard, request analytics, CSV export, team activity log.
- Saved searches with alerts for new candidates matching your criteria.
B2B matching between companies
If you do not have an available in-house specialist, the shortlist can include candidates from partner company catalogs — without a separate recruiting agency.
- The supplier company maintains a specialist catalog: profile, stack, rate, CV, card moderation.
- The client sees partner candidates in a shared shortlist with Match Score and source (market / partner).
- An invite for a partner specialist goes to the supplier company manager — they coordinate placing the employee.
- After agreement, both sides chat; contacts and details follow the same privacy rules.
How a specialist works
- 5-step profile wizard with draft auto-save. Optional: CV parsing (AI), GitHub, LinkedIn, certificates.
- Auto-moderation: GitHub and portfolio scoring, traffic-light approval / manual review / rejection.
- Active toggle: available, part-time only, or busy until a date — affects matching eligibility.
- Invites arrive from companies that shortlisted you — in Invites and Projects with Match Score and request card.
- Chat discussion without obligation; contacts hidden until mutual consent.
- After accepting a full-time project, new invites are blocked until completion; with part-time, matching can stay open.
Matching and scoring
Matching considers stack overlap, rate, seniority, project similarity, GitHub activity, timezone, English, reviews, and availability settings — not just résumé keywords.
- Match Score — percentage match between specialist and request; visible in the company shortlist and on the specialist invite card.
- Dual fit — mutual assessment of how well the project suits the specialist and vice versa.
- Shortlist sources: market (profiles on the platform) and partner (B2B supplier catalogs).
- Guidance when filling profiles and requests helps improve match quality.
Privacy and communication
- Contacts hidden until mutual consent; companies cannot get email or phone outside the platform.
- Chat per invite: messaging, attachments, read state, real-time WebSocket.
- Notifications: in-app bell, email, and browser push — configurable by event type.
- Public SEO pages (/jobs, /talents) show aggregates only, without personal data.
Moderation and safety
- Auto-moderation of specialist profiles: GitHub, portfolio, data completeness; manual queue for edge cases.
- Moderation of specialist cards in supplier company catalogs.
- Company verification: Verified badge, tax ID and website on profile.
- Reports on profiles, chat messages, reviews; appeals and moderator review.
Project lifecycle
An invite moves through a funnel — both sides see the stage in the dashboard:
- Pending — invite sent, specialist has not responded yet.
- Discussion — chat, clarifying terms; several can run in parallel until acceptance.
- Accepted — contract created, project moves to in progress; other full-time discussions may auto-decline.
- Completed — early or on schedule; after contract closure, a window opens for mutual review.
A review is available after project completion and contract settlement confirmation — with a waiting period and a limited publication window.
Platform principles
- Free for companies and specialists — no commissions or hidden fees.
- Transparent budget — rate in the request, no vague "to be discussed" wording.
- Relevance over volume — companies send invites from the shortlist; specialists are not buried in spam.
- Autonomy — matching and moderation 24/7, without a sales department.
- Honest reputation — reviews after real projects, not self-promotion in a résumé.
