“A Seamless and Professional Verification”

Arun M.
12/20/24

I recently went through the freelancer verification process, and I must say, it was a smooth and professional experience. The team was prompt, courteous, and supportive throughout the entire process. They asked insightful questions that allowed me to showcase my skills and experience effectively. Their attention to detail and understanding of my work background made the process feel fair and transparent. I appreciate the opportunity to be verified and look forward to leveraging this for more professional growth. Highly recommend their service to other freelancers!

“The Lady that wanted to do the job for me.”

Hanne S.
11/28/24

She was nice at first but began becoming pushy as it went on."Hurry up" didn't want to talk about maybe lowering her price. So I let it go.! So she wanted to know everything we wanted on the site, and while we were sending her what we wanted right in the middle of the conversation, she blocked us after we had given her everything to work with. Very disappointed because I liked her but she was a bit pushy,

What is going on with Freelancer? It really seems the longer I am with this site the harder it becomes for me to find work. I'll elaborate.

1) My biggest issue recently; the new bid proposal system. Literally this system is the worst change I have seen to Freelancer since I have been with the site. Why is it I am only allowed to type about 2 sentences for my proposal for complex projects like webscraping where every site and the challenges it presents are different?

It is becoming literally impossible for me to stand out from anyone else because all I can put is "I am an expert in webscraping blah blah". I can't elaborate on how I would accomplish the project or tackle its challenges or why my work would be superior/unique. Please for the love of god revert this system.

2) The changes to chat have the made the site a LOT slower. Everytime I load up a page it reloads all my chats and the javascript takes forever to complete in addition to the actual chat boxes lagging when I try to type. This makes it take longer for me to scan the site for projects and place bids and reduces my overall efficiency.

3) The new bid sponsor system is terrible and I never use it because now it costs me $30 to sponsor a bid when it used to cost a few dollars. This is money I DO NOT get back if I am not awarded the project so why would I risk 10% or more of the actual project payout in an attempt to stand out.

4) Why am I charged when I deposit funds into my Freelancer account when I am also charged a high % on milestones I am paid?

Honestly I don't know if its greed or a need to change for the sake of change but so much of what has been done in the past year has hindered my success as a Freelancer with the site rather than help it.

I am thankful for the Preferred Freelancer program but everything else that has been done is awful and might look nice on the surface but does not help the actual Freelancer at all which is surprising considering the sites name.

One simple change I can think of that would be amazing is let Preferred Freelancers initiate chats with employers. None of us are going to spam the employer we would simply say "Hello I am X and I am very interested in your project. Here is how I would complete it to your satisfaction, etc".

Make Freelancer Great Again.
