A SaaS built in-house by PeakLab

FreeMatch was born from a simple observation: IT freelancers spend hours searching for missions across dozens of different platforms. We wanted to create a tool that does the work for them. This project is a SaaS developed and maintained by PeakLab, still live and used daily by hundreds of freelancers. It showcases our ability to design, launch, and grow a complete product from A to Z.

IT freelance challenges

Too many platforms, not enough time

IT freelancers juggle between Malt, LinkedIn, Welcome to the Jungle, Indeed... Result: hours wasted scrolling through often unsuitable offers.

Poorly targeted offers

Most job boards don't account for desired daily rate, remote work preferences, or the freelancer's actual tech stack.

No market visibility

Hard for a freelancer to know which skills are in demand, what daily rates are being offered, or where the opportunities are.

Our product approach

We built the tool we wish we had when we were freelancers: simple, smart, and time-saving.

1

User research

Interviews with IT freelancers to identify real pain points and validate the automated matching concept.

2

MVP & launch

Development of a functional V1 in Next.js, launched to an initial cohort of beta testers.

3

Product iteration

Added Malt import, personalized daily emails, and analytics dashboard based on user feedback.

4

Organic growth

100% organic acquisition through SEO and LinkedIn, with zero advertising budget.

FreeMatch sends me every morning the offers that truly match my profile. No more spending hours on Malt or LinkedIn. In 5 minutes, I know what's available and can focus on my missions. It's become a reflex.
