Platform overview
Lunar Launch Labs (L3) is a staffing platform: companies book vetted technology crew across 11 specialties — Front End, Back End, Full Stack, DevOps, Mobile, ML, QA, Solutions Architecture, UX Design, Graphic Design, and Product Management — by the week, schedule days on demand, and pay for exactly the days they use.
How booking works
Section titled “How booking works”- File a request — a role, a quantity, a booking period, and an optional needed-by date.
- The crew desk matches it. Candidates are anonymous while you browse (“Verified specialist” profiles with title, seniority, location, and a day rate); the crew desk sends back a proposal with named, verified candidates — one all-in day rate each.
- Accept per line. Each acceptance is a binding booking: the candidate joins your crew with a Monday start, a weekly cadence, and a schedule you control.
- Billing is weekly and in advance — each Friday for the coming Monday–Friday of scheduled days, due before the week begins, paid by ACH through Mercury. Invoiced days are locked; future days stay flexible.
Browsing looks like this — anonymized “Verified specialist” cards with title, seniority, location, and your plan’s day rate:
The Client guide (in the sidebar of these docs) documents every page of that journey in detail.
Client workspaces are on one of two pricing plans, chosen at registration:
- Dedicated — committed weekly crew, best rates.
- Flex — book on demand, flexible rates.
Your plan determines the day rate you see for every candidate, and a booked placement’s rate is snapshotted — it never reprices.
Built-in confidentiality
Section titled “Built-in confidentiality”The platform runs a deliberate confidentiality architecture, disclosed plainly in its public Terms of Service and Privacy Policy:
- Candidates are anonymous until proposal — identities are revealed when you’re sent a match to approve, and stay visible through the placement.
- Identities and pricing are compartmentalized by role. Each participant sees exactly what their seat needs and nothing more; every signed-in role’s own guide describes precisely what their account can see and do.
- The platform is the exclusive channel for placement-related dealings, and its records — requests, acceptances, schedules, invoiced days, messages — are the authoritative system of record behind every engagement.
Scheduling fundamentals
Section titled “Scheduling fundamentals”- Crew weeks run Monday–Friday; weekends are never scheduled.
- Placements start on Mondays (the Monday of your needed-by week, or the next Monday).
- A booking period sets the initial schedule — minimum 1 week (the in-app picker offers 1–4 week chips; the platform accepts periods up to 52 weeks per request). After booking you add or drop future, uninvoiced days freely.
- Once invoiced (each Friday), days are locked — immutable and payable.
- Pauses hold a seat at a retainer percentage of the day rate; time-off conflicts are flagged for resolution.
