There is no cost for any organization to register on Abra and begin posting demand. Abra only collects a small fee based on successful engagements facilitated through our marketplace. Our goal is to create a platform that can benefit all users by reducing costs to find and engage talent, as well as increase transparency into the workforce.

The Abra team, along with your Concierge, can assist with all aspects of hiring and onboarding, including interviewing, contracting, onboarding, and offboarding. The goal of Abra’s initial interview process, is to assist with finding the best candidates to fit your needs. A representative from your organization will participate in the final interviewing and selection process.

Abra aims to provide transparency into the talent marketplace. Talent has the opportunity to invite their past employers to provide feedback for their skillsets, collaboration, and communication. Additionally, after each engagement delivered through Abra, buyers are required to provide anonymous quality ratings and reviews on the work delivered by the talent provider. As a part of your talent selection process, you have the opportunity to review this feedback.

Your Abra Concierge works to thoroughly understand the talent requirements to support your initiatives, and translates these needs into Abra demand, keeping the process as easy as possible for you and your team.  

Abra is a dynamic marketplace, meaning you are notified of all matches as options change, whether from new talent entering the marketplace, or changing availability of current talent. In the case that there is not an immediate exact match for your needs, Abra provides alternate candidates who may have contract preferences that do not align exactly with your needs, allowing you and the talent marketplace to understand where some flexibility in the engagement may find you the best match from a skills and specialization perspective.

Yes! If the talent provider you find on Abra is an independent contractor, you can always engage them directly. If the talent provider is an employee of another organization, that organization would have to agree to release their employee to your organization. The associated fees for facilitating direct engagement is up to 40% less than the industry average finder's fee.
