The Future of Tech Talent Access — How Marketplaces Are Changing the Game

Mirgen Hoxha, Founder & CEO – Motomtech | August 2025

Executive Summary

The talent acquisition landscape is shifting. Platforms like Upwork, Fiverr, and Toptal have proven that marketplaces can connect businesses with global talent quickly and efficiently. However, these platforms typically focus on individual freelancers, leaving businesses to coordinate, manage, and ensure quality themselves.

Motomtech’s Marketplace for Technology Department as a Service (TDaaS) reimagines this concept, offering complete, managed tech teams on subscription — bridging the gap between freelance marketplaces and full-time in-house hires.

Why the Traditional Marketplace Model Falls Short for SMBs

While freelance marketplaces are ideal for small, one-off projects, they present challenges for SMBs seeking ongoing, integrated tech capabilities:

  • Fragmentation — Multiple freelancers with no shared process or accountability

  • Inconsistent Quality — Varying skill levels and no unified delivery standards

  • Time Drain — Businesses must act as project managers, recruiters, and quality controllers

  • Limited Scope — Few freelancers can cover compliance, security, systems, and software development under one umbrella

 

Motomtech’s Marketplace Model

Instead of matching SMBs with individuals, we deliver pre-assembled, cross-functional teams tailored to client needs, available on-demand via a subscription.

Key Features:

  1. End-to-End Coverage — Software, cloud, IT systems, security, compliance

  2. Predictable Pricing — Transparent monthly subscription tiers (Team of 3, Team of 6, Team of 9, Enterprise)

  3. Proven Processes — Standardized workflows, project tracking, and QA baked in

  4. Scalable Engagement — Add or reduce team capacity as business needs evolve

  5. Managed Delivery — Motomtech handles hiring, onboarding, and quality control
