Charlotte initially joined Malt as an intern and, in less than a year, became one of the Talent Acquisition Team’s key members. A trained psychologist, (almost) as polyvalent as Kevin Mayer, she believes the trust placed in her when she joined Malt is what made all the difference. Let’s ask about her story.
Hello Charlotte, can you introduce yourself and your role at Malt?
My name is Charlotte, I am from Nantes. I’ve been working at Malt for almost a year now. I joined the company for my end-of-year internship in occupational psychology. And I’m still here! Now I…
5 To Do’s to succeed in the New Work Order
Now more than ever, companies need to respond quickly to changes in the market, the global environment, to the entry of new competitors, and to ongoing technological progress.
The agility of the workforce is one of the key components to survive in this new reality: the right people doing the right thing at the right time.
In this new work reality, we see freelancing as an established part of the agile workforce. …
2020 is the year where choice has been taken away from people. In life. And at work too. Companies and independent workers alike were forced to quickly find ways to stay afloat. It’s also been a time when we all came to the realization that work wasn’t just about earning a living. It is about connecting with others, opening up to them. To become better professionals and better people.
At Malt, we believe we can write the next chapters together. By connecting freelancers with organisations every day, we are on the frontline of shaping the Future of Work. We are…
The past 3 months will remain in history as the moment when work became remote, something most “office workers” could perfectly practice without being with their colleagues in the same building.
And even if this forced way of learning how to work remotely was not necessarily the best, children running in the living room or with your kitchen table as your desk, more and more companies are now announcing they’re not going back to the old normal, some even claiming they will adopt full remote work as something permanent.
This is good news. But this is also a bit naive.
The benefits of working from a home-office are already very well established, and there is no arguing that. Working remotely grants you even more flexibility, it eliminates the stress of commuting, and you are usually confronted with less interruptions, however, there do exist some downsides. To ensure success when working remotely, print out, and post these commandments on your fridge ✌️
Properly arranging your workspace
Forget about the couch, the dining table, or even your living room. In the most ideal situation, you should have an office space located in a separate room. …
A Brief History of Online Education Platforms
Whether you always wanted to understand Buddhism or get the basic skills to handle photoshop — the internet has given us the key to an incomprehensibly large amount of knowledge that we can access at any given time. Over the last ten years it has also played a crucial role in the development of online education possibilities.
But even before the digital age, already in the 1840s, learning over distance was practiced in the form of postal correspondence courses and later radio and television broadcasts. …
While a lot of articles on the differences between male and female employees are published on the occasion of International Women’s Rights Day, few figures are published on the digital self-employed. The following data is based on figures from Malt’s community, which today has over 180,000 registered freelancers situated in France, Spain and Germany.

- 34% in France

For companies and managers, the rise of freelancing implies the arrival of plenty of new changes. It is no longer possible to organize work like in the times of Fordism. It is also no longer possible to manage the same way. Freelancers are pushing for a radical transformation in managerialism, which also affects employees. This is the subject of a study carried out with Malt (formerly known as Hopwork), which will be released next month.
Jobs were simpler in the Fordist economy. As in…

D Denis Pennel is the author of Travail, la soif de liberté* : How start-uppers, slashers, co-workers are reinventing work, published last September by Eyrolles. In it, he describes the “new age” that work has now entered: “the change in work is that of a long march towards an ever greater freedom”. Today, new ways of exercising one’s professional activity are being invented outside of the traditional workplace.

The rise in digital technology and the need for companies to go through a digital transformation has raised questions on the flexibility and adaptability of our work methods. There are no longer any boundaries, and presenteeism has no place in a digital world. Work methods such as collaborative tools, teleworking, and agility are setting the stage for a new set of rules.
To meet these new needs, and in order to make it easier for companies and freelancers to understand the French IT market and its geography, Malt, the leading platform for connecting digital freelancers with companies, is introducing a…
