A little sidenote

Malt is what you get when two entrepreneurs, passionate about the latest technological and digital developments, unite. They move quick. Perhaps maybe even too quick in a world of work that is struggling to provide the right talent for their galloping innovations.

Vincent Huguet, CEO of Malt, was previously a founder of e-commerce startups. Hugo Lassiège, CTO, was a freelance developer, and founder of the Lateral Thoughts tech community. They met in 2012 to discuss a common issue that companies were facing: the difficulty to find freelancers to help them move their projects forward.

The following year, they founded Malt together. Their ambition: to change the way we work by transforming the market for intellectual services (agencies, consulting firms) with a transparent business platform and the emergence of a community of freelance experts. In 2020, Vincent and Hugo can be proud of themselves for having initiated the movement. Malt now counts 200,000 freelancers and 30,000 registered companies in Europe.

We are driven by our values.

Care.

Our company only works if people are put ﬁrst, so we care about them, their lives, choices, and aspirations. Caring and supporting people means helping each other. It means we give honest, constructive feedback and make diﬃcult decisions when we have to.

Spread the joy.

We put joy at the center of everything we do, and bring in a little optimism when it comes to work. We know everything isn’t perfect all the time, but it’s up to us to be positive, and to focus on what’s working so we can keep moving forward.

Turn ambition into action.

We believe in creating a better world by empowering everyone to bring their passions to work and realize their ambitions. We own our own ideas and work hard to turn the best ones into something concrete.

Give everyone independence.

Sometimes saying sorry is better than asking for permission, so we give people the autonomy to experiment and move fast. Sometimes we fail, and that’s ok – we own up to our mistakes as well as our successes. Our freedom to choose the way we work doesn’t mean we’re directionless, we balance it out with focus.
