Jungal marketplace launches to champion equality and freedom of work

Adelaide, Australia - 19/02/2025 - After four years in development, Jungal, the revolutionary marketplace for freelancers, contractors, and small professional services, has officially launched, redefining how skilled professionals access opportunities and work on their own terms. Founded by successful entrepreneur Marina Pullin, Jungal is built on the principles of equality, transparency, and a freedom of work, ensuring that independent professionals have the same access to high-quality corporate opportunities as traditional consulting firms.

At its core, Jungal provides a trusted, skills-based assessment and rating system, breaking down barriers for talented individuals who have long been overlooked by rigid corporate structures or outright discrimination. By removing bias and gatekeeping, Jungal levels the playing field, giving professionals greater control over their careers and ensuring businesses can connect with a diverse pool of high-quality talent.

"Work should be about skill and capability, not networks or privilege. Jungal was created to give professionals the ability to work freely, on their own terms, with full transparency and fairness," said Marina Pullin, Founder of Jungal. "We're challenging outdated consulting models that exclude independent professionals and replacing them with a system built on trust, credibility, and equal access."

Jungal's launch comes at a time when freelancing is booming globally:

• United States: The number of freelancers is projected to reach 90.1 million by 2028, accounting for over half of the U.S. workforce.
• Australia: By 2026, freelance creative workers are expected to make up nearly 40% of the entire creative workforce.

In contrast, traditional consulting firms and 'bodyshops' are declining, struggling to adapt to new expectations around flexibility, affordability, and digital transformation skill requirements. Many businesses are moving away from expensive, restrictive consulting models in favour of agile, on-demand talent solutions, a shift that Jungal is perfectly positioned to support.

"We're not tip toeing and rolling out boilerplate reports used 10 times before it comes to you; we're letting our marketplace of skilled people offer dynamic solutions.'

With the platform now live, Jungal is preparing for investment rounds to support its expansion into the U.S. market, ensuring that Australian professionals can access global opportunities in an ethical, competitive, and borderless way.
