MERIDIAN FOUNDRY · FOR BUSINESS · RANKED WORK-FOR-HIRE
Post the work. The ranked world bids.
A worldwide talent pool where every developer and every sales rep is graded, ranked, and re-tested — and where we guarantee the work by holding the money until milestones land.

Three moves. No recruiting, no roulette.
01
Post the work
Describe what you need — or let the intake agent scope it with you and draft the brief. Build work or sales pipeline, same board.
02
Ranked bids come to you
Every bidder carries a Foundry Score earned through assessment. Your membership tier decides how far down the ladder your posting is even visible.
03
We hold the money
Milestone escrow through Foundry: talent gets paid when the milestone lands, you get delivery organized, reviewed, and guaranteed.
Where the money sits at every step
Milestone funded
Your money moves into escrow — not to the talent, not to us.
Work delivered
The milestone ships against the written spec you approved.
You accept
You review. Disputes pause the release, not your leverage.
Payout released
Talent is paid at once; the ledger records everything.
You pay for filtering. They can't buy rank.
Every membership tier sets a rank gate on your postings. Free means the whole floor can bid and you sort the noise; each tier up makes your work invisible to everyone below the gate. Try it:
You pay
The noise floor disappears. Everyone who can see your work has cleared a real assessment.
Who can see & bid on your work
Silver+ only
- Obsidiantop 2%The best on the platform. Assessed, re-assessed, and battle-tested on delivered work.

- Silvertop 40%Assessment-cleared and reliable. The proven middle of the pool.
- BronzeentryCan't see this posting exists.

Rank is earned through assessment — talent can't buy its way up. That's why filtering by it is worth paying for.
Four gates.

Rent a sales force the same way.
The identical mechanic runs on our certified rep pool. Post a commission mandate — reps apply or get assigned. Your tier decides who sees it: at the top, only reps who scored elite on discovery, objections, and a live roleplay against a hostile buyer persona ever lay eyes on your offer.
- Every rep certified before they can represent anyone
- Compliance auto-fail baked into the certification — no rogue claims in your name
- Commission structures you set; ledger and payouts run through Foundry
