The brief
FluxGig is a talent marketplace built to simplify how agencies hire event staff — baristas, bartenders, brand ambassadors, mascots, product specialists, booth teams — and how that talent finds paid gigs. Generic freelance boards are built for remote deliverables, not for date-bound, location-bound event work with rates, applications, and last-minute fills. The product needed a Laravel platform that could run both sides of the market: agencies posting gigs with pay, dates and cities; talent applying, saving jobs, and building a public profile; plus memberships, internal chat, filters, and notifications that actually match how experiential agencies hire.
Separate agency and talent accounts on one Laravel app: agencies post gigs (role, dates, pay, city); talent browse, apply, and save jobs. Featured listings pull live event gigs such as ASH New Orleans, AASLD Denver, and AAO New Orleans.
Faceted discovery by skill, category, location, language, seller level and rate. Categories map to real event work — baristas, bartenders, brand ambassadors, mascots, product specialists, booth staff, badge scanners, hospitality — not generic “web developer” taxonomies.
Talent profiles with skills, reviews, video intro and public URLs. Secure 1:1 internal chat, login-gated save-job / save-talent, and a Business Growth Hub so both sides stay on-platform instead of leaking to email.
Paid plans native to the marketplace: agency Basic ($7.95/gig), Plus ($19.95/mo) and Premium ($49.95/mo); talent Free, Pro ($1/mo) and Expert ($3/mo) with markets, gallery images, custom URLs, banners and notification markets.
