A marketplace where businesses find people to help them grow, and people find paid opportunities that fit their skills. It starts in Jamaica and is built to grow beyond it.
No. One Kalanstra account can do both. Start with whichever you need, and switch on the other mode from your dashboard at any time. Your profile, messages and history stay in one place.
Yes. Choose “Continue with Google” on the sign-up or log-in page. If you already have an account with the same verified email, we link them instead of creating a duplicate.
Earning
Publish your profile. It gets a public link (kalanstra/u/your-name) and appears in Find Talent searches for your skills, categories and location.
No. A name, headline and a few skills are enough to publish. Add work samples, services and experience whenever you're ready.
Hiring
Post an opportunity and review applications, or find someone in Find Talent and invite them to an opportunity. When you accept someone, the agreed scope, price and deadline are recorded for both of you.
Payments
Businesses pay on Stripe's secure checkout. Kalanstra holds the money until the business approves the work, then releases the person's share to their Stripe payout account. If work is cancelled before approval, the business is refunded. Card and bank details stay with Stripe.
No. Payments for work found on Kalanstra must go through Kalanstra. Paying or asking for payment outside the site removes the protection for both sides and can lead to account removal.
Opportunities and rates can be priced in many currencies (JMD, USD, GBP, EUR and more). We never convert amounts on the page, and filters only compare budgets in the currency you pick.
Trust & safety
Only what you choose: name, headline, bio, skills, services, portfolio, and optionally your location and rates. Your email, password, messages and payment details are never public. You can unpublish any time.
Reviews can only be left by the two people involved in completed work on Kalanstra, once per engagement.
