B2B marketplace connecting companies with creative and IT service providers
Sortlist operates a two-sided marketplace matching mid-market companies with specialized service providers (creative, marketing, IT). The stack is full-stack JavaScript (React, Next.js) + Rails with PostgreSQL and BigQuery, deployed on Kubernetes/AWS — standard for a scaled marketplace. Hiring is evenly split between engineering and sales (5 each), with a notable data team (2), suggesting active investment in matching algorithms and pipeline analytics alongside marketplace expansion into Belgium and Netherlands.
Sortlist is a B2B marketplace founded in 2014, based in Wavre, Belgium. The platform connects approximately 120,000 companies annually with vetted creative, marketing, and IT service providers. The company operates as a two-sided network: companies post briefs or search for agencies; providers build profiles and compete for projects. Revenue likely derives from placement commissions or subscription tiers. The 51–200 employee base is concentrated in Belgium with hiring active in Spain, reflecting geographic expansion.
Sortlist runs on Ruby on Rails and React/Next.js frontend, PostgreSQL and BigQuery for data, Kubernetes and AWS for infrastructure, with Terraform/Terragrunt for IaC. Monitoring via Datadog and Sentry; CRM via Salesforce and HubSpot.
