We’re proudly Canadian—from our Halifax roots to our cross-country roster of talent—and we only work with Canadian freelancers and consultants. That means every connection we make supports local expertise and ensures clients know exactly where their work is coming from.
Founded in 2015, The Well began as a marketplace for marketing and technology freelancers. Over the years, we’ve grown to include accounting and operational support, reflecting our role as a leader in Canada’s professional gig economy.
The Well was built as an alternative to overseas marketplaces and costly agencies—places where quality can be inconsistent, costs unpredictable, and trust hard to find. Instead, we designed a marketplace rooted in human connection, where Canadian businesses can confidently hire Canadian freelancers who are vetted, reliable, and committed to their craft.
Our mission is simple: to make freelancing work better—for Canadian businesses and Canadian freelancers.
We do this by:
With The Well, businesses get trusted Canadian expertise, and freelancers gain access to meaningful opportunities. Everyone wins.
The Well is Canada’s human-centered freelance marketplace.
Since 2015, we’ve connected businesses with vetted Canadian freelancers in marketing, creative, technology, and accounting. Unlike transactional gig platforms, our 22-point vetting process and personal matchmaking ensure trusted partnerships, transparent pricing, and work that gets done right the first time.
