Hey Product Hunt 👋 I'm Abdelrahman, founder of Hyrde. I built this after watching clients get burned on the big freelance platforms over and over — a contractor disappearing mid-project with $10k of unfinished work, "Top Rated" badges that turned out to be gamed, reviews quietly removed, and 20–34% in real fees once you add everything up. The root problem: these platforms optimize for volume, not outcomes. You're left filtering through hundreds of proposals, fake portfolios, and inflated ratings on your own. Hyrde flips that: • Every freelancer is pre-vetted before you ever see them • Describe your brief → our AI returns your top 5 matches in ~60 seconds • No Connects, no bidding wars, no inbox spam • Freelancers keep 100% of their rate; clients pay a flat 8%, only when they hire We're onboarding early clients and freelancers right now, and I'd genuinely love your feedback. One question to kick things off: what's the worst freelance-hiring experience you've ever had? 👇
