From dev agency to B2B community for IT services.

How to position Skilld as the anti-ESN? A place where clients and developers find happiness at work and decide they can stay forever.

IT Services

Community-as-a-Service.

There are plenty of staffing platforms and dev agencies offering IT services online. But none can provide the flexibility, reliability and diversity of an open source community.

Skilld founders took the challenge to build a community of IT enthusiasts that reshape the future of work for the better.

“Working on our narrative helped us pivot from agency to community. It brought unity towards our team, investors and clients around the project.”

Positioning strategy

We're stronger together.

Everyone wins.

Our core need was to demonstrate how Skilld community benefits all its members: clients, contributors and agencies alike.

We focused on the collective value induced by an open-source community versus traditional staffing platforms and agencies.

Human-first
strategy.

Interactions are a fertile ground for trust to grow in, and Skilld founders know exactly how to foster that in the community.

By conveying a clear understanding of how the community operates, we made sure that everyone - clients and contributors alike - shared common values before joining.

Happiness is the root of growth.

Well being in the workplace is most often a superficial appearance. But with Skilld, it’s different. They put happiness at the heart of what they do, and it shows when you get to know them.

We incarnated this trait with the Skillders: 3D caracters representing the members of Skilld Community.
