Pylote

Pylote is a browser extension designed to connect freelance technology professionals with recruiters, streamlining the process of finding and securing tech missions. The tool addresses the challenge freelancers face in keeping their availability and profiles updated across multiple job platforms and agencies, offering a centralized solution to manage these tasks efficiently.

The extension enables freelancers to import their profiles from platforms such as Comet or LinkedIn in a matter of seconds, creating a single unified profile on Pylote. This profile can then be automatically distributed to recruiters from 20 different agencies and platforms, reducing the need for freelancers to manually update their status across multiple sites. Pylote also synchronizes the freelancer’s availability, ensuring that their current status is reflected on various connected platforms without the need for repeated logins or updates. The tool features a job board focused on tech roles, where freelancers can browse available missions, and it offers exclusive information about different platforms to help users compare practices and activate only those platforms that suit their preferences.

For freelancers who may not wish to synchronize all their platforms, Pylote allows them to use its job board and benefit from automatic profile distribution to partner recruiters. The extension includes a mode for freelancers who are currently on assignment but still open to new opportunities, letting them specify their future availability so recruiters can contact them at the appropriate time. Privacy controls are available, enabling users to become invisible to certain recruiters and ensuring that personal email addresses are not shared. Freelancers can also set reminders to keep their availability up to date and avoid missing out on potential missions.

Pylote is available as a desktop browser extension for Google Chrome and Firefox, with compatibility for other browsers like Opera and Brave mentioned. The service is free for freelancers, while a paid offering exists for recruiters. Profiles are distributed to recruiters both through Pylote’s search engine and via API integrations with applicant tracking systems (ATS) used by partner recruiters. The platform is tailored specifically for freelancers and recruiters in the technology sector, particularly within the French market.
