Hire developers and engineers
Websites and web apps, mobile apps, back ends and APIs, games, cloud and testing — from vetted engineers who pitch on your brief and are paid by phase.
The Multimedia Studio (TMS) is an online creative studio. Clients post briefs for creative work; vetted creatives — designers, illustrators, motion designers, video editors, photographers, writers and 3D artists — pitch, get picked and deliver. Payment is held in escrow and released phase by phase.

What to put in your brief
- What it must do, as the things a user does
- The stack or hosting you’re tied to, if any
- What it has to connect to
- Who looks after it afterwards
- The access and test accounts the developer will need
The Brief Assistant helps you shape it all into a clear brief: the goal, deliverables, formats, timeline and budget.

How hiring works
- Write the brief with help. Tell the Brief Assistant what you need; it shapes the goal, deliverables, formats, timeline and budget with you.
- Compare pitches. TMS matches vetted creatives. Nominate a few for a short paid pitch, or hire directly someone you already trust.
- Pay in phases. A deposit into escrow starts the work, you review it in Brief Chat, and the final payment closes it once you approve.
Questions people ask
- How do I hire developers on TMS?
- Post a brief describing the work. TMS matches developers whose skills fit; you compare short paid pitches or hire directly, pay a deposit into escrow to start and the final payment once you approve.
- How are creatives vetted?
- A person reviews every account before it opens. Each creative’s profile shows their skills, portfolio and reviews, and you see a short paid pitch before you commit.
- What is a paid pitch?
- A short sample task that lets a few creatives show the exact skills your brief needs. It is paid, and it is never the real job.
- How does payment work?
- Through Stripe. You pay a deposit to start and a final payment to close; the money is held in escrow between the two and paid out to the creative per phase.
- What does it cost?
- You set the budget in your brief. Signing up and posting a brief are free.
