What do you like best about Braintrust?

I've consistently banked six figures annually on Braintrust for the past few years, and it's been a game-changer. What I like most is that Braintrust flips the script on freelancing. No middlemen gobbling up earnings, just direct connections with top-tier clients and fair compensation. It's efficient and the future of freelancing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Braintrust?

The client pool is very competitive, but that's also a testament to the quality of talent it attracts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Braintrust solving and how is that benefiting you?

Braintrust cuts out the middlemen to connect me directly with consulting clients who value expertise. It's streamlined, lucrative, and keeps me focused on delivering results, not a lot of paperwork. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Braintrust?

No Platform Fees: Unlike other platforms, BT doesn’t take a percentage of the earnings. This means we get to keep 100% of what we earn

Great Support and Fast Replies to Queries: All of my Qs re account setup, docs submission and payments were answered within a day or two. Considering time zone differences, the response time was impressively fast, and I believe it would have been even quicker otherwise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Braintrust?

Took Longer Than Expected to Get Everything Set Up: While support was responsive, the overall process of getting the account fully set up and ready to use took longer than what I anticipated Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Braintrust solving and how is that benefiting you?

I feel like it's more community owned platform where they listen to the feedback. Using it for the very first time but I think it will be a great experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Braintrust?

Braintrust eliminates platform fees, ensuring freelancers keep 100% of their earnings. The community-driven approach and talent screening process also help maintain high-quality job opportunities. The ownership model makes freelancers feel valued and invested in the network. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Braintrust?

While the platform offers excellent job opportunities, the selection is somewhat limited compared to other marketplaces. More variety in job postings across different industries would be a great improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Braintrust solving and how is that benefiting you?

Braintrust is solving the problem of unfair freelancer fees and lack of transparency in traditional job marketplaces. By eliminating platform commissions, freelancers keep 100% of their earnings, which directly increases income potential. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Braintrust?

Braintrust feels like the future of recruiting. It's got a clean and intuitive UX, but also a structure by which candidates and employers can realize more value from the platform than from traditional tools, like LinkedIn, or recruiting agencies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Braintrust?

Braintrust is still relatively young and less established than a site like LinkedIn or Indeed. Although it's building steam with respect to depth of talent and opportunities, it is still "baking" in terms of having the broadest possible reach on both sides of its marketplace. As more candidates and companies use it, the network effect will make it a more and more compelling option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Braintrust solving and how is that benefiting you?

I was looking at Braintrust as a potential way to source talent, before my employer (an early-stage startup) shut down. From that perspective, it seemed like a more affordable option than using a formal recruiting agency (or even just posting roles on LinkedIn), and just as easy as using LinkedIn.

As a candidate, I am currently looking for roles in product management and regularly check Braintrust to see what new opportunities have been posted there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Braintrust?

Braintrust's team was a delight to work with - and they were highly effective! As a start up, we often need to move fast on positions, and Braintrust was indispensible in our most recent round of hires. They demonstrated a deep understanding of their domain, and they mirroed our urgency, keeping pace with us at every step. We were hiring some fairly specialized positions, and it took a few iterations to get our Job Descriptions right. Through these revisions, Braintrust was able to provide helpful recommendations about which changes to make, and in the end, we brought in many qualified candidates from across their network.

Their account management team was responsive, friendly, and seemed as invested in our objectives as were. Their rates were comparable with industry standards - if not slightly lower - and they were published up front. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Braintrust?

I'd love to see their network continue to grow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Braintrust solving and how is that benefiting you?

Sourcing candidates, qualifying them, and managing the interview process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Braintrust?

I am a fan of the prescreening process, which allows the interviews for the actual clients to be streamlined and more focused in each specific field. The platform was fairly easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Braintrust?

The search functionality on the job board wasn't quite as strong as I wanted. For example, if I was to search. "product manager" the results may include some mismatched job titles. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Braintrust solving and how is that benefiting you?

applying to any role these days means competing with 500+ applicants to get a phone screen... this is not sustainable. innovation in the recruiting field is a must, and braintrust has taken a good shot at this. I was able to find a role that fits my profile, and easily communicated to the team how my skills could help Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Braintrust?

Working with Braintrust has been a game-changer! I consistently get access to top-tier software projects without having to pay any fees. It's refreshing to be part of a platform where you can focus on delivering great work without worrying about hidden costs. Highly recommend! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Braintrust?

No problems so far! Braintrust support is very diligent in the event you encounter an issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Braintrust solving and how is that benefiting you?

Braintrust solves key problems freelancers face by eliminating fees, giving me access to high-quality software projects while allowing me to keep 100% of my earnings. It also offers greater control by being decentralized, removing the middleman, and fostering direct relationships with clients. This results in smoother communication, faster onboarding, and a more transparent working environment, ultimately giving me more autonomy and fair compensation for my work.

What do you like best about Braintrust?

Talent acts as both job seeker and tech recruiter positively impacting the quality and quantity of applicants for job opportunities published by employers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Braintrust?

Talent is ready to use this platform, but employer adoption of Decentralized Apps are lagging behind. As a result job opportunities that are posted on the platform are very competitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Braintrust solving and how is that benefiting you?

Braintrust is solving the issue of recruiting companies really understanding the candidates that they are putting forward. When I apply to job opportunites on braintrust I also use the referral link to publicize the role in my social channels. I like this feature because it allows me to refer contacts that may be better qualified than myself for the job and I can earn a commission if they are hired.

What do you like best about Braintrust?

People can say anything online or on a resume about what they've done. Braintrust fixes this problem by using blockchain technology to ensure, without a doubt, that a person has the experience they say they have. This means higher-quality talent for your business, easier application process for job applicants, and a win-win onboarding process for everyone!

The sign on as both a contractor and client are extremely simple with their AI onboarding system. Their customer support is superb and there is someone helping you every step of the way. This, for me, will quickly replace LinkedIn for both hiring and finding Clients, and I find myself using it more and more every day!

Braintrust focuses on reputation over word. Whether hiring, or trying to be hired, sign up today! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Braintrust?

The only thing I don't like is there still aren't enough businesses there - get on now, because there is is plenty of vetted talent like me waiting to work for you! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Braintrust solving and how is that benefiting you?

They show my reputation in ways no other platform can. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
