How Pangea.app achieved a 70% revenue boost with Cal.com’s scheduling solution

About Pangea

Pangea.app is a fractional hiring platform for top talent. They make it easy for companies who need high-quality talent quickly to connect with highly skilled professionals, specializing in everything from marketing and design to operations and engineering. The product leverages AI to connect clients with talent in under 24 hours and works with everyone from Seed startups in SF to the Fortune 500. 

"As a team of just three full-time employees managing a platform with 75,000 users, we needed a solution that could do more with less. Cal.com delivered exactly that, reducing complexities of our scheduling processes so we could focus on growth." 

This means that businesses can hire freelancers part-time or full-time. After completing the initial contract, the client can contract-to-hire the talent and work with them directly.

Pangea also happens to be extremely user-friendly. On the enterprise side, it simplifies the process of filtering through thousands of qualified talent profiles by providing a shortlist of the top candidates and taking the back-and-forth out of organizing an interview. 

The product has also been designed so that potential contractors can easily create standout profiles that highlight their skills and help them get hired. 

"Before Cal.com, scheduling interviews felt like a bottleneck in our operations. Now, with their seamless integration, we've achieved an 85% conversion rate for interviews—an incredible leap from just 20%!" 

These are features that help to differentiate the platform from other hiring solutions like Linkedin, which doesn’t vet talent, provide a shortlist, or enable seamless interviewing.

The Challenge: Scaling a Global Hiring Platform

The team running Pangea is extremely lean—just three full-time employees building and shipping features while meeting the needs of over 75,000 users in 155 countries. The goal of Pangea is to help companies connect to talent globally. This isn't exactly the easiest task to achieve; it's not just about building labor markets—there's also a lot of scheduling involved. 

"The difference was night and day. Integrating Cal.com not only optimized our processes but directly contributed to a 70% increase in revenue. It's the kind of ROI every startup dreams of." 

Think about it: everything we do, from buying groceries to scheduling interviews, requires some form of interaction, a.k.a. a meeting. The Pangea team was in the position of potentially having to build a booking solution from scratch. This would have been an arduous process and would have required that they tackle all the complexities that are an inherent part of appointment setting. This includes everything from time zones to available schedules, calendar integration, reminders, and rescheduling. 

The Solution: How Cal.com Streamlined Pangea.app’s Scheduling Needs

This is the part of the story where Cal.com comes in. You see, Adam, one of Pangea's core team members, was already familiar with Peer's work outside of Cal.com. 

This meant that when the Pangea team noticed Cal.com's latest Product Hunt launch, there was already pre-existing knowledge about the skills, values, and culture behind this specific infrastructure solution. 

"Finding Cal.com on Product Hunt was serendipitous. We were navigating complex development challenges, but Cal.com solved them with their intuitive, fully customizable scheduling integration." 

By choosing to use Cal.com's platform product, the Pangea team was able to save both money and time. Using Cal.com meant that they didn't have to build their own booking infrastructure from the ground up. In addition, Cal.com was also customizable and competitively priced, which are essential features for any project in startup mode. 

The Result: Pangea.app’s Revenue and User Growth after Integrating Cal.com

After integrating Cal.com within their product, Pangea experienced a 70% increase in revenue. This happened as a result of it now being easier for prospective freelancers and contractors to connect with each other and book interviews. 

"The white-labeled solution from Cal.com allowed us to offer a slick, smooth experience for our users. This not only made scheduling easier but also elevated the overall experience on Pangea for both job posters and candidates." 

Using Cal.com’s product has meant that Pangea hasn’t had to compromise aesthetics or worry about any dilution of their brand. 

This means that every aspect of the appointment booking process, from the initial time slot selection to the actual video interview and automatic follow-ups, has increased operational efficiency while protecting brand reputation. 

Cal.com has helped Pangea App by:

• Saving them 100+ hours per month in scheduling and follow-ups through automated workflows. 

• Reducing the time spent coordinating interviews by 40%, enabling the team to focus on strategic tasks. 

• Enabling job posters to achieve faster hiring, leading to quicker project kick-offs and increased platform transactions. 

• Enabling the lean team to handle 50% more job postings without additional headcount. 

• Increasing platform activity by 35% as users found the scheduling experience seamless and effective. 

• Improving time-to-interview by an average of 2 days, expediting the hiring process. 

• Freeing up 20% of the team’s weekly workload for strategic planning and user acquisition efforts. 

As a calendar scheduling infrastructure product, these are the outcomes we love to see. Cases like Pangea’s clearly illustrate the manifold benefits of a customizable booking solution.

The wins they've experienced, while outstanding, are not unusual for Cal.com account holders. After all, we're a company that's centered around empowering people and helping them take ownership of their time.
