CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., Nov. 5, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Moonlighting, a leading freelance hiring platform announced today the launch of their new API, to allow staffing companies, recruiters and hiring agencies the opportunity to engage over 675,0000 on-demand workers and freelance talent nationwide. The MOON API ("Mobile Optimized ON-Demand") grants access to Moonlighting's mobile work force of talented freelancers, consultants, and contractors for a wide variety of projects and assignments.
With the gig economy growing at a record pace in 2018, Moonlighting has quickly assembled one of the most diverse portfolios of on-demand workers that cover a wide range of industries. Using the MOON API, staffing professionals and recruiters can quickly post short or long-term projects and reach IT professionals, digital marketers, executive consultants, customer service representatives, creative professionals, tradesmen, and more.
Moonlighting introduced the MOON API in 2017 to power its partnerships with local media companies McClatchy, Gatehouse Media and Digital First Media and hardened it for commercial use through its partnership with recruitment platform leader, Recruitology.
"Moonlighting offers a unique value proposition for employers looking to find people who are available and ready to work quickly," said Roberto Angulo, CEO and Founder of Recruitology. "Their tech team is first rate and their API adds a compelling freelance offering to our news media solution, tapping a whole new talent base for recruitment."
In order to lead the next wave of employment disruption, Moonlighting has adopted blockchain technology and is decentralizing its platform to allow more people the ability to access their users. Extending the MOON API is part of the company's plan to open up its platform to more recruitment outlets to help freelancers find more project work.
"Since the inception of our company, we have always maintained that walled gardens and closed marketplaces do not foster a sustainable freelance career," shared Jeff Tennery CEO & Founder of Moonlighting. "The MOON API will help us cast a wider net for agencies and recruiters looking for affordable, real time hiring solutions and allow us to collaborate with them to find the right talent fast."
Founded in 2014, Moonlighting has been helping freelancers and entrepreneurs start, build, and grow their own personal small businesses using Moonlighting's powerful suite of tools to get discovered, get hired, and get paid. The MOON API allows hirers the ability post jobs and target specific categories for just $99 per month.
