A little sidenote
Malt (Formerly known as Hopwork) was created from Vincent Huguet's, Hugo Lassiège's, and Jean-Baptiste Lemée's equally shared frustration : Not being able to find an easy way to work with freelancers.
Malt was born from a solid ambition: to transform the intellectual service industry (IT services, brokers, agencies, etc.) by introducing an open-platform model, providing accountability, and a community for freelancers. With Malt, freelancers can make a reputation for themselves thanks to the reviews they get from their clients once they've finished their assignment.

2013
We are driven by our values.
It takes a community
They say It takes a village, well at Malt it takes a community. We care about each other and we believe in sharing. Whether it’s knowledge, networks or even a good meal, there is always room at the table.
Ambition is the way
Our desire is to have a big, positive impact on the world of work. We know it comes one step at a time. We celebrate our victories and we get ready for the next challenge. Ambition is our journey.
Own your choices
When Malters are free to act with autonomy, take smart risks and work their way, then we as a company are stronger than the sum of the individual people. We are not afraid to address challenges ourselves, we go fast, we learn and we always aim to do better.
Joy is our secret sauce
Joy is a habit and we are addicted (a bit like karaoke). We believe in putting a little bit of cheer in everything we do. Success comes more easily to those with an optimistic, can-do attitude.
