MadSkills is the only technology solution that allows businesses to outsource directly to a Military Spouse Talent Community. We offer two paths: direct access or a virtual staffing model. Military spouses create a free profile and registered employers connect with them for remote jobs. Successful hires have resulted in long-term employment, contract positions, freelance gigs, and more.

Traditional Office Job vs. Remote Job
Traditional Office Job
Traditionally, sales writers work in an office setting between 8 AM and 5 PM. Their main goal is to research and write copy that converts into sales. Deadlines vary based on client needs and timelines. Sales measure their success. Employees use company software, equipment, and supplies.
Remote Job
A remote position allows for flexible work locations and hours. Deadlines are set by the client and are managed by the internal team. Teammates communicate virtually through video and cloud-based project management software. Content is reviewed and edited by the client for final approval. Conversion rates and sales measure success. Remote hires use personal software, equipment, and office supplies.
