piquano is a curated marketplace. On our platform, providers and demanders come together. Companies and service providers can announce their need for freelance resources here. Our software finds suitable candidates for the respective requirement profiles. Providers are not involved in this process.

We include all interim managers, project managers, subject matter experts and consultants under this umbrella term. All functions have in common that the candidates are self-employed or freelance.

Intermediaries make sure that no direct contact is established between the searching company and the respective freelancers. The reason for this lies in the protection of competition, as the intermediary ultimately wants to earn a commission for his mediation activity. 

piquano represents a different approach. Companies are allowed to post projects on our project board and freelancers are allowed to apply for them. If a project comes about on the basis of such a contact, this mediation is commission-free for all parties involved. 

If the client uses our services in the corporate or enterprise model, we only charge a service fee in case of success. Further information about our commission model can be found here.

In more than 20 years we have built up a very broad network of consultants, project and interim managers, as well as subject matter experts. All industries and functions are represented in our network. Likewise, on piquano you will find freelancers from almost all hierarchical levels - from topic experts to board members.

On piquano you don't search - you FIND. How does that work? Quite simple. We work with project postings. Our process software ensures that for each project posting, the appropriate candidates in our network are informed. If they are interested and available, these candidates can apply for your project. That means you don't have to do a time-consuming search, but can simply be found.

Absolutely. Yes. You can reach us via chat, email and in the Enterprise model also personally by phone.

Quality is absolutely important to us. That's why we make sure that you receive all the information that is important for your decision during the application process. If you advertise a project yourself (recruiter model), our share is rather small - yours is somewhat higher. In the corporate and enterprise model, we manually intervene in the pre-selection with our algorithms and additionally validate the candidates with experienced recruiters.

The use of piquano is always free of charge for you. You can publish as many project postings as you like and get in contact with as many candidates as you like. If you decide to use the recruiter model, piquano is free of charge even if a placement is made.

A small commission will only be charged if you decide to work with us according to our corporate or enterprise model. And only if we are demonstrably successful and a project contract is concluded between you and one of our candidates. You can find more information about our pricing models here.

To apply for a project, you must be logged in as a user. If you don't have an account at piquano yet, you can register here free of charge. As a registered user you will find a short application form in every project description. There you can upload your current profile and contact the project provider directly.
