Freelance.com describes itself as a talent-as-a-service company. It connects large companies and small and medium-sized businesses with freelancers and other external experts, offering sourcing, portage (employment through an intermediary that pays the worker) and payrolling. It also runs the Talenteed e-learning platform. These services are delivered as outsourced workforce services rather than as software that customers operate themselves.
The company is a French public limited company (SA) with its registered office in Puteaux, near Paris, and is registered in the Nanterre trade register. Its legal notice names OVH as the host of the website, in France. The company is active in several European countries, including Germany, Belgium and Switzerland. The sources reviewed name neither a parent company nor a hosting location for client data. For a European organisation, this is a French provider subject to EU data-protection law; the storage location of client and worker data should be confirmed in the contract.
