Finding the perfect freelancer is rarely a solo mission. For strategic or complex projects, you need input from technical leads, other managers, and maybe even procurement or HR teams. At Malt, we believe hiring should be a seamless team sport, not an administrative headache.

We’re excited to introduce Collaborative Sourcing, a new suite of features designed to bring your entire hiring team together in one place, making your decision-making process faster, smarter, and more aligned.

From scattered feedback to a single source of truth

When your team's feedback is spread across different platforms, you lose context, waste time, and create a disjointed experience for everyone involved.

Our user research at Malt confirmed what we already suspected: Hiring is a group decision. That's why we brought the entire collaborative workflow directly into the Malt Application Tracking System (ATS).

Here's how our new features make it easier for you and your team:

Invite your whole squad: Project owners can now invite colleagues directly to a sourcing project. Whether they’re already on Malt or not, you can give internal and external collaborators the right level of access to view candidate profiles and project details. No more manually forwarding CVs or sharing links!

Streamline decision-making: Our new dedicated feedback flow allows your team to leave internal-only ratings and comments directly on freelancer profiles. It's a simple, clean way to track assessments and see exactly where a candidate stands, empowering your team to make faster, more autonomous hiring decisions.

Built for the way your team already works

We designed these features to solve the core challenges we saw our enterprise clients facing every day. The goal was to eliminate off-platform workarounds and empower teams to manage their hiring process more efficiently within Malt.

Great hiring is a team effort, but the process often gets slowed down by scattered notes. Collaborative Sourcing solves this by moving the entire hiring workflow into Malt. This directly addresses the complex, multi-stakeholder needs of our enterprise partners and cements our position as the go-to, enterprise-ready marketplace."
