Most Agencies Are One Brief Away From a Resourcing Problem.

Personal networks run dry. Reliable freelancers are already booked. Sourcing takes weeks you don’t have. And when you do find someone, the contracts, rates, and onboarding start from scratch every time.

For Agencies
Find the Right Specialist. Fast.

Talus gives you immediate access to a vetted pool of HealthComms freelancers searchable by role and specialism, with clear visibility into how specialists prefer to work. Find, brief, onboard, and collaborate inside one platform.

For Freelancers
Your Expertise, Matched to Agencies That Need It.

Talus connects you with vetted HealthComms agencies actively looking for your specialism – not a general platform where you compete with generalists. Your experience is structured the way agencies actually hire.

Adapts to How You Work.

Talus was built exclusively for HealthComms – not adapted from a general freelance platform. Every specialist is vetted for subject matter expertise, regulatory awareness, and professional track record. No two agencies resource the same way, so we don’t lock you into one model. Run everything through the platform yourself. Lean on our team for more hands-on support. Put one person in charge as the single point of contact. Or bring your whole team on board. Use what’s useful, skip what isn’t.

A few ways people use us:

Self-Serve

Search, shortlist, and engage freelancers directly through the platform.

Hands-on Support

Lean on the Talus team when you need an extra layer of help.

Single Point of Contact

One resource manager, scientific lead, or account director runs it for the team.

Whole Team Onboarded

Invite colleagues in and split the searching, briefing, and managing between you.

Real-Time Project Visibility

The ability to receive and accept job requests, message clients, download and upload files and submit hours and receive payment efficiently (all on the portal) is invaluable, particularly with time-sensitive projects.
