“Between two long missions I stayed covered — unemployment rights, healthcare, everything. That safety net is why I recommend Linkao to every freelancer I meet.”
Clara FONTAINE
HR Consultant
“What convinced me was the retirement coverage. As a self-employed person I was barely accumulating anything. With Linkao I contribute like a real employee, same rights, same pension. That changes everything long-term.”
