unitalent is a Swiss blockchain enabled freelancing platform. It gives access to high-skill freelancers, allows direct peer-to-peer contracts between freelancers and corporate clients, and distributes project rewards transparently with smart contract secured transactions. unitalent is a highly scalable platform that will ease the transition to independent work, increase efficiency and is a win-win for workers, companies, and the economy.
unitalent is a project managed and run by the team of seasoned consultants, engineers and entrepreneurs from NZ Group International AG, a stock company registered in Switzerland and a licence holder for recruitment and international staffing services.
We are based in the city of Zug in Switzerland, where the Crypto Valley has its epicentre. Switzerland is one of the most reputable and best-connected places for ICOs.
Since the foundation in 2013, NZ Group has generated revenues of 10 million $ and has its team operating from Switzerland, the UK and the Middle East. We have built a curated network of independent consultants with various backgrounds and collaborated with 50 multinational corporations in the engineering and life science sectors.
Because of our experience in the freelance market since 2013, we know the headaches of the freelance community and the customers. With blockchain technology, freelancers will be able to own their work - for the first time in history. Therefore, we have developed unitalent (unitalent.io): a blockchain enabled platform that connects high skill freelancers with corporate clients. unitalent is an end-to-end solution for freelance work that seamlessly integrates blockchain technology. It makes it easier and more transparent for all stakeholders to engage in the freelance market. On unitalent freelancers, corporate clients, freelancing agencies and consulting firms can join, find talent or work on projects.
Compared to existing solutions, on unitalent, clients’ fees are reduced by up to 75%, while freelancers can use it free of charge. Freelancers will receive part of the platform fees depending on their status and engagement and can monetize their network by inviting them to use the platform, leading to a win-win situation for unitalent and the community. Everyone profits!

Team - experienced and educated. Could use a better structure so the team can be adequately assessed against their roles (e.g. CEO/CFO/COO, head of legal etc) and thus give potential investors clarity on whether the team can make this project happen. There are some roles that need to be considered due to the nature of the project such as finance and legal.
Vision - not a groundbreaking vision, but the team appears to have experience in consultancy services previously. My understanding is that the platform becomes a replacement for recruitment consultants. Not a bad idea, if you've ever had to deal with recruitment consultants as a manager or freelancer. The performance rating idea is open to abuse - managers could potentially charge freelancers for better ratings as these ratings are essentially references from previous employers. Freelancers will still have to produce evidence of previous projects and education with HR at the firm's that employ their services, so does it really save any admin? Potential to use fiat currency undermines the tokenomics of the project. It seems like a loose use case for DLT in my opinion, but would potentially reduce costs for end users. As such, it's a 3 for vision from me.
Product - no MVP at the moment. Screenshots of what has been developed thus far. 2 for the moment.

Unitalent is working on a perfect use case for blockchain and smart contract technology: elimination of middle men and the trust issue for the freelance industry.
The team’s vast experience in this industry is a big advantage with respect to competing platforms, as proven by the high number of prestigious industry endorsers they can boast.
Having a platform already in development before the ICO is another great argument for this project.

Idea is good and already working. The use of Blockchain to cut middle men is fine. However, usage of FIAT might lead to contradict with the token economy. Despite the risk has been highlighted in WP, this FIAT mechanism will not promote the usage of TAT tokens. Therefore, the team has to consider the fact, and design a mechanism that will motivate the FIAT users to convert to TAT Tokens.
