Case Study: Apartment Therapy saves time and streamlines freelancer payments with TalentDesk

Apartment Therapy - Customer Case Study

Apartment Therapy, a major online publisher in the lifestyle and home design space, faced significant challenges managing a large, global freelance workforce. Their previous system created financial headaches, with manual processes for handling hundreds of payments and tax forms across dozens of countries consuming excessive time and resources. This prompted the search for a new solution, leading them to the freelancer management platform TalentDesk.

By implementing TalentDesk, Apartment Therapy automated its payment processing, allowing the finance team to pay all freelancers with a single weekly invoice instead of managing dozens individually. This solution from TalentDesk saved an estimated 2,000 hours per year, eliminating the need to replace a departed accounts payable employee. The platform also brought greater organizational clarity to the editorial teams. The Director of Finance declared the system a "game changer" that is crucial for achieving the company's content and growth goals.
