Hellenic Talent is a curated network of elite freelancers & experts from Greece & Cyprus, who can advise you, take on interim roles, deliver projects or join your team. Everyone in the network has been through an in-depth interview with us, so we know each member personally, not just from a CV. You tell us what you need, we send you a shortlist of hand-picked profiles within 2 days* and we help with the proposal, the paperwork and the invoicing, so the collaboration can start right away.
*Subject to availability
We have professionals for any expertise you may need. Our network covers the areas below, with examples of what our members do:
The list is not exhaustive. See the roles we cover, or tell us what you need and we will work out together how we can help.
We offer four engagement models, which cover most needs:
Engagements can be part-time or full-time, on-site, remote or hybrid, and last from a few days to over a year.
Both are possible. Many engagements are remote or hybrid, while some require presence at your premises on certain days. Tell us your preference and we will take it into account, as the working model is one of the criteria we use to select candidates.
No. The first call, the project brief and the shortlist are free. You tell us what you need, we send you a shortlist of hand-picked profiles and you interview whoever you like. If you do not find the right person, you pay nothing.
Our fee applies only once you start a collaboration. It is a percentage of the agreed project value. See:
Schedule a quick call to tell us what you need. We discuss the scope, the timeline and the budget, and send you a shortlist within 2 days*.
The call and the shortlist are free, with no commitment. We are only paid if you find someone who fits and start working with them.
*Subject to availability
After the call, we write a short project brief (scope, ideal profile, timeline, budget) and you confirm it. We then identify the freelancers in our network who best match your needs, brief them on the engagement to make sure they are interested and available, and send you a shortlist of 2 to 3 profiles within 2 days*. You interview whoever you wish and choose.
*Subject to availability
Yes, and we recommend it. We arrange the meetings and brief the freelancers on your needs beforehand, so they arrive prepared.
Yes. Some projects need complementary expertise, for example a Transformation Lead and a Data Scientist, and we can put together a “small team” for you.
Share your feedback with us and we will adjust the search to propose other candidates. If we cannot find the right person, you pay nothing.
No, unless agreed otherwise in writing for a specific project. When a project milestone is completed, the freelancer sends you a payment request, with us in copy. The payment request is only needed if the payment timeline is not clear in the proposal signed between you and the freelancer, or if anything has changed. Once you approve it, we send you an invoice for the agreed amount, plus VAT where applicable, you pay us by bank transfer and we pay the freelancer. One vendor, one invoice, a clear paper trail.
No, there is no minimum commitment. You can work with someone for a few days of advisory support, for a project with a defined deliverable or on an ongoing basis, for example 3 days per week.
Yes. If you want to employ someone we introduced, tell us. For a certain period after the introduction, an employment fee applies, as set out in the agreement you sign with us.
Hellenic Talent is a curated network that connects hand-picked professionals from Greece & Cyprus with quality clients, for projects, interim or fractional leadership roles, as well as advisory and embedded expert roles.
We connect you with clients who are looking for your expertise, help you complete the proposal and any other necessary paperwork, and handle the invoicing of the client, so you can focus on the substance of your work.
Joining the network is free.
Professionals who already work as freelancers or have their own company, and who meet our typical minimum requirements:

Meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee admission to our network, as we keep a high bar in order to serve our clients best.
We aim to update you on your application within 5 working days. If your profile meets our criteria, we schedule a 60 to 120 minute interview and then let you know our decision.
We review your application against our requirements, aiming to update you within 5 working days. If your profile meets our criteria, we invite you to a 60 to 120 minute video interview.

It is a 60 to 120 minute video call, in four parts:
The goal is to understand your capabilities and preferences well enough to connect you with the right clients.
No. Applying and joining the network are completely free. We only earn a fee when you take on a project through Hellenic Talent.
We currently focus on Greek-speaking professionals, since most of our clients are Greek & Cypriot companies. English matters for international clients and projects. If you do not speak Greek, we still encourage you to apply: we assess every application as a whole and, where your expertise meets our clients' needs, we can admit you to the network and connect you with clients who work in English. You do not have to live in Greece or Cyprus.
We speak with clients to understand their needs and, for each project, select the members of our network who fit best, taking into account expertise, availability, rate and the preferences in your profile: industries, working model and companies you have excluded. When a project fits your profile, we contact you by email and through your account on the platform, and you tell us whether you are interested and available. The client may also ask to interview you.
Of course! Declining has no effect on the projects we propose to you next: we would rather hear a clear “no” than a reluctant “yes”. We only ask that you answer quickly, because the client is waiting for our shortlist.
Once a client has selected you for a project, you agree the payment terms directly with the client, in the proposal you prepare with our help. From then on:
You do not invoice the client, unless we agree otherwise in writing for a project.
Every project is based on three agreements: the Freelancer Agreement you accept when you join, the Client Agreement the client accepts, and the proposal you prepare for each project (scope, deliverables, timeline and fee) with our guidance and templates. You and the client sign the proposal, and we confirm the project in writing to both sides. Keep us in copy of anything you agree with the client, so we can help if questions come up.
Yes, by the time you invoice us. You need:
You can apply and go through the vetting before you set this up.
Yes.
Often, yes. Many projects are remote or hybrid, while some require presence at the client's premises on certain days. Set your preference in your profile and we will take it into account.
No. There is no public directory and clients cannot search the network. We show your profile exclusively to clients we put you forward to for a project, and never to companies you have excluded in your profile.
All kinds of expertise! Our members cover the areas below, and you can work with each of them as an advisor, interim leader, project manager or embedded expert:
No. There are no subscriptions, membership fees or retainers, for clients or for freelancers. We earn a percentage of the agreed project value once the project starts. For the details, see the platform fee for and for .
We review the application for credibility, depth of expertise and recent hands-on experience. Those who pass this stage are invited to a 60 to 120 minute interview, where we discuss their career path and their project experience in depth.
Our goal is to understand the candidate's experience and judge the level of their expertise. Before we introduce a freelancer to a client, we may take references from their previous engagements. After every engagement, we review our members again. Read the full process
Yes. We are a Greek company and invoice clients in our own name, in line with Greek e-invoicing rules, with VAT where it applies. The freelancers then invoice us and, where the law requires it, we withhold tax and pay it to the Greek tax authority (AADE) on their behalf.
Our network is made up mostly of Greek & Cypriot professionals, based in Greece, Cyprus or abroad. Most of our clients are companies in Greece & Cyprus, and we also work with international companies looking for professionals from our curated network, for remote or on-site freelance work.
We comply with the GDPR and Greek data protection law. We share your account data only with the providers we need to run the platform and, for freelancers, with the clients we put you forward to. Our privacy policy describes these recipients and the safeguards that apply when data is processed outside the European Economic Area, and explains what we collect, how long we keep it and how to exercise your rights.
Email us at contact@hellenic-talent.com. We aim to respond within 2 working days, and to urgent client or freelancer matters, within a few hours.
