CADlance.com Establishes the “Ebay for Engineers”

February 17th, 2008

VICTORIA, AUSTRALIA – CADlance.com, responding to industry demand, launched today as an online marketplace with the purpose of linking employers with qualified professional freelance engineers. Sebastian Alberti, founder and Managing Director, brings his years of experience as both a contractor and administrator to what had formerly been a scattered and disorganized industry.

“We want to make 100% certain that any business seeking a qualified engineer has all of the information necessary to make an educated and intelligent decision.” –Sebastian Alberti

Working as a virtual job market, Alberti describes his company as the “Ebay for engineers.” Employers place projects on the site, stating the nature of the project and the qualifications they are looking for in a potential hire. This posting is then viewed by a vast pool of engineers from all around the world, who are instantly notified about projects that match their skills. With this system CADlance.com brings the engineering market into the information age, away from a freelance market which had once been reliant on newspaper ads. Employers also have access to contractor profiles, where they can see previous work history, qualifications, and most importantly customer feedback from previous projects on CADlance.com

In addition to providing unparalleled employer and job searching functions, CADlance.com also contains a comprehensive system of collaborative tools. These programs provide employers with the ability to work efficiently with contractors through advanced file and screen sharing features. These systems, when combined with the site’s other industry standard services make CADlance.com the leading web site for outsourcing services in the engineering field
