Natureza, in its recent article, “Flexibilidade de trabalho: A ciência na economia do trabalho“, lists Kolabtree as one of the platforms through which organizations can benefit by consulting freelance scientists. We’re delighted to have received recognition from one of the most reputed scientific journals in the world!
Over the last decade, there has been a huge rise in the number of on-demand workers worldwide. Pesquisa labs, government and non-profit organizations, large corporations, and small businesses are increasingly outsourcing their projects due to various reasons: geographical restrictions, financial/policy barriers and lack of access to specialized resources. Kolabtree tem sido uma das plataformas que quebram essas barreiras e facilitam as colaborações, ajudando as organizações a acessar facilmente os conhecimentos científicos especializados.

Richard Bradford, Analista certificado de dados de saúde, fundador de uma empresa de consultoria estatística
“Working as a freelance scientist is both professionally and personally very rewarding. One of the most appealing aspects of this arrangement is the variety of projects you get to work on. You get to learn about different fields and endeavors and are therefore challenged to be constantly learning and researching. My experiences have all been very positive, the clients I’ve had the pleasure of working with have been professional and friendly and a joy to work with.
Emil Pricop, Engenheiro de Sistemas Experiente e Desenvolvedor de Software
“I am currently working as lecturer at Petroleum-Gas University of Ploiesti, Romania. This job is very challenging, but it lets me enough free time for collaborating with contractors and other researchers on Kolabtree. Before finding out about Kolabtree I never thought I can work as a scientist from my home on a freelance basis. When I found Kolabtree, which is a niche platform, I was convinced that it is the platform I’ve missed for years.
Trabalhei anteriormente como programador backend freelance e não imaginava que pudesse trabalhar como pesquisador de minha casa. Trabalhar como cientista freelancer não é tão simples quanto parece no início. Há certas vantagens, mas também há alguns inconvenientes. Tenho que administrar meu tempo e meus prazos cuidadosamente, mas tenho a liberdade de trabalhar exatamente quando tenho idéias, mesmo que seja tarde da noite ou de manhã cedo. Além disso, gosto da possibilidade de escolher os projetos para os quais quero trabalhar. Às vezes sinto falta do laboratório e da equipe de pesquisa, mas superei este inconveniente tentando ter um pequeno laboratório eletrônico em minha casa.
A experiência Kolabtree é surpreendente do meu ponto de vista. Ela me ajudou a encontrar projetos muito interessantes e desafiadores iniciados por pessoas de todo o mundo. Posso dizer que Kolabtree conseguiu fazer uma conexão real entre pesquisadores e cientistas disponíveis e localizados nos cantos opostos do mundo.
A plataforma não só conecta empreiteiros e freelancers, mas também atua como um terceiro de confiança, portanto, sinto-me confiante de que não estou sozinho e todos os projetos são sérios e, finalmente, serei pago pelo meu trabalho.
By using Kolabtree I managed to find challenging projects that allowed me to think out of the box. The feedback received from my clients helped me to gain much more trust in myself and in my knowledge. Also, the successful projects I contracted on Kolabtree were a source of financial stability in the last period.”
