ExpertSource Pro
ExpertSource Pro (ESPro) is Lumina Datamatics’ cloud-based freelancer management platform that connects businesses to experienced content professionals and subject matter experts (SMEs). It offers comprehensive solutions for finding freelance talent, assessing skills and experience, engaging and hiring best-matched candidates, and invoicing for work completed. This platform leverages cloud-based technology and Lumina Datamatics’ years of SME sourcing expertise to mitigate the traditional risks of outsourcing. Secure and private, ESPro is not searchable by anyone other than Lumina Datamatics or its subscribing clients, giving priority access to a robust community of professional freelance talent. With nearly 5,500 registered SMEs and editorial service experts, you have unprecedented access to talent ready to work with you.
An ExpertSource Pro platform subscription enables businesses to search for, hire, and manage qualified freelancers based on a wide range of criteria across over 200 disciplines and 150 skills. They can interact with qualified freelancers (writers, copyeditors, proofreaders, subject-matter experts, indexers, designers, artists, programmers, and more), evaluate their skill levels, assign work through an easy-to-use dashboard, and process invoices for payment.
