Who is Mellow?

Mellow is a global HR platform that helps companies adapt to the new reality of work. While previously businesses worked with contractors on a one-off basis, they have become critical workforce members. This has required businesses to shift their processes. Mellow makes this easy. For example, some companies might hesitate to work with contractors because of risks or regulations. Mellow assumes these, including the most contentious issues, such as misclassification. However, because the Mellow platform has solutions for both parties, they also help project-based workers, ensuring they get paid and receive benefits. This way, Mellow bridges the gap between contractors and full-time employees without forcing them to change their work statuses. 

What Makes Mellow Unique?

Mellow aims to smooth out collaborations between companies in the US, the UK, and Europe and their contractors, eliminating legal, financial, or managerial hurdles. Mellow has pursued this mission for ten years. Still, the past two years clarified the need for a fresh approach, and Mellow decided to create a new company with its team, brand, positioning, and infrastructure—something they’ve never done before.

Two perspectives set Mellow apart from similar platforms or solutions in the market: vision and service. In terms of vision, Mellow sees the future of work as project-based, which is why they focus exclusively on contractors, don’t offer employer-of-record (EOR) services, and are not interested in building another all-encompassing HR platform.

They provide a self-service platform, and Mellow treats its clients as partners, tailoring solutions to their needs. Other distinctive factors include their pay-as-you-go pricing model. Just like Truss, they don’t believe in nickel-and-diming our customers.

How has Mellow Evolved Over the Last Couple of Years?

In 2014, Pavel Shynkarenko founded his first tech company, Solar Staff. Initially, the firm provided solutions for service deal optimization. This gradually led to creation of a multi-tool platform that capitalizes on Solar Staff’s decade-long work in this field and responds to the growing demand for specialized solutions for long-term interactions with contractors. 

Thus, Solar Staff, as a global company, pivoted to Mellow. Even though Mellow was launched in May 2024 and has been operational for a few months, leveraging Solar Staff’s client base has accelerated its growth. Mellow is already collaborating with over 1,500 companies and 400,000 contractors in more than 100 countries.
