The ElggExchange Marketplace is a targeted destination for Elgg users that reaches a savvy group of top designers, programmers and technology talent. Find them. Connect with them. Hire them.

THE "AHA MOMENT"

“We posted on virtually every single job board or provider hiring service on the internet looking for professional elgg developers. After a month we had one unqualified applicant. One of our engineers suggested we individually solicit jobs on the elgg community, so we cherry-picked a dozen users that appeared to be talented and sure enough almost all of them were excited about the opportunity! That's when it became clear that the reason for our empty applicant list was not a lack of experienced developers, but rather a lack of a medium to connect with those specific developers! Thus ElggExchange was born!” -Shane Atlas ElggExchange Co-Founder

"After having developed numerous popular and free plugins for the Elgg community, I was looking for some paid freelance work. The main Elgg.org site was not a great place for posting commercial activities so I had some trouble connecting with people looking for Elgg development work. After responding to Shane's private message, I got hired to do some remote work right away. We discussed how difficult it was for us to find each other and realized the potential in creating a site targeted towards users just like us." -Billy Gunn, ElggExchange.com Co-Founder

THE HIGHEST COMMON DENOMINATOR

Most job boards are a crap shoot. You post an ad and face an email deluge from unqualified applicants. If you like collecting resumes, that's fine. If you actually want to hire someone, it sucks. That's why we created the ElggExchange Marketplace — the best way to find designers and programmers who get it.

TARGETTING THE CREAM OF THE CROP

Where you post your job says a lot about your company and the kind of people you want to attract. Our Job Board attracts the best; it's the only elgg destination specifically created for that purpose. The elgg developers who build the best of the web - people who value beautiful design, beautiful code, high standards, and doing great work. These are the people you'll reach on the ElggExchange Marketplace.

LESS HAY

You won't have to worry about being a needle in a haystack either. There are usually around 100 jobs posted at the Job Board at any one time. That means your job won't get lost in the shuffle like it does at other job sites. Same applies to our plugins and themes - since we are a moderated marketplace, everything we list is guaranteed to be top notch!
