The “Big Gig” platforms are broken.
They were built to sit back and let the market sort itself out.
Minimal intervention. It sounds efficient until you realise it leads to low-quality work, unfair pay, and local talent being buried under cheap offshore competition.
- Only a single Aussie freelancer appeared in the first two pages of results* on three Big Gig platforms for ‘Web Development’
- The only one who did, “Alan” the champion, had to pay for the privilege.
Over $183.3 million goes to freelancers offshore every year instead of going to local talent who know the market, the audience, and the job.
We don’t think that is right.
Especially when local demand and talent continues to grow:
- Since 2013, small businesses in Australia have grown by 30%, at 2.6 million
- Australia has the 8th largest freelance pool in the world
- Over 4.1 million freelancers across all industries73% of them work in marketing-related services
We believe a good freelancer platform should:
- Back local professionals
- Be accountable to the communities they serve
- Protect the value of human creativity
When the CEOs of Big Gig platforms tell freelancers A.I. is coming for their job, instead of standing up for the value of human creativity, they’ve lost the plot.
So we built Unjumble.
A gig platform of local, verified freelancers designed to deliver high-quality outcomes for small businesses.
Let’s do this properly.
