Case Study: Spark Space reduces hiring friction and finds top freelance talent with Contra

Reducing hiring friction to build tools for the next generation of creators

Spark Space, a company focused on empowering young creators, struggled with costly and inefficient hiring platforms that delivered either a flood of unqualified applicants or a slow, high-friction process. They needed a better way to source quality talent to scale their lean team. They turned to Contra for its hiring and management solutions.

By using Contra, Spark Space could quickly post jobs and immediately connect with high-quality freelancers for roles in engineering and design. The platform also streamlined payments for their entire flexible team in one place. As a result, Spark Space hired over 15 independents, kickstarted more than 10 projects, and found the right talent faster and with far less friction, enabling them to build and iterate quickly.
