Milestones

The story so far.

  1. May 2026

    New brand & marketing site

    The cream-and-moss editorial system goes live across diiirect.com — a calmer, more confident face for the platform.

  2. March 2026

    Marketplace opens to clients

    Hiring teams can post roles, review vetted operators, and run the full offer-to-contract flow end to end.

  3. January 2026

    Talent network launches

    The first cohort of vetted operators joins diiirect, kicking off the two-sided marketplace.

  4. September 2025

    diiirect is founded

    A simple bet: hiring works better with direct connections, transparent rates, and people who can do the work.

  5. April 2025

    From Happy Agencies to diiirect

    After years running Happy Agencies — our outsourcing studio — we make a deliberate bet on something bigger. We wind the agency down and channel everything we learned about matching people to teams into a new company: a direct, transparent hiring marketplace built to scale.
