Success fee
Contracts managed on Socious
We are revolutionizing the gig marketplace industry. The industry standard is to charge 20%commission fees from talent and 5% commission fees from hiring organizations. It’s been this way for a long time. Socious is changing this because we believe that impact organizations’ limited resources should be used to grow their impact and pay a fair salary to their members. For impact organizations, we are only charging 5% commission fees for talent and 2% for hiring organizations. For instance, when an impact organization hires a talent to design a logo for $100, the organization pays $102 to Socious first, and once the work is completed, the talent receives $95. The 7% commission fee will allow us to continuously improve the platform.
It's free to signup on Socious, view and apply to jobs, or for organizations, post jobs. We only charge when organizations pay the talent for their work. We are able to maintain the most competitive fees in the market through automation and decentralization. Our machine-learning-based recommender engine reduces the need for human involvement in matching talent with organizations. Through our blockchain technology, not only do we eliminate third-party (e.g. credit card company) involvement in transactions but we also delegate verification, content moderation, and dispute resolution to impact experts who are incentivized with tokens.
NB: additional transaction fees may be charged by payment providers: for Crypto payment, Milkomeda charges a small amount (usually less than 10 cents) and for Fiat payment, our partner Stripe charges 3.6%.
