TheXPlace appoints advisors; launches initiatives addressing income stability

TheXPlace, a job search and networking community site specifically for games industry professionals, announced that it is launching several new product innovations. These new features are aimed at addressing problems of income stability and staffing flexibility. The new features are called Contracting and Payments, Income Assurance, and Events, which will be available in 30 countries at launch.

The Contracting and Payments solution is a one-stop solution that allows users to offer their services for contract work based on industry standards and best practices. Companies can hire from a global talent pool for project-based services, all the way up to full-time employees. Similarly, the Income Assurance and Escrow feature guarantees workers get paid by a certain time, eliminating the need for them to “chase” their employers for funds.
