“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,

If you are freelancer who wants to earn some money or make a living from your work, stay away from this site! There are many others which offer far better services and support than this one! We were working for some for some people from India, we have created for them many functionalities like login, register, payments, redesign... And we had a lot of harassment from their end. They refused to pay in the end because we didn't want to do additional staff for free (which weren't part of the project for which we bided). So we field a dispute hoping that their dispute team would solve this for us. After we have delivered all the evidence that we have created what was asked in project and documented for them, other party (employer) only provided few comments like evidence which were like, font was bigger than it supposed to be, or margin was a bit bigger here...
None of the real evidence was delivered that some of the functionalities weren't working or that code was bad...
In the end we were accused for communicating with employer on skype and they ended dispute in favor for employer.
Freelancer team said it was evident that their work was not approved by the buyer as the final output. Isnt it obvious that if they stick to original posted project we wouldnt have a problem? And that we wouldnt file a dispute?
If they have tested site and code, like they should when they have this kind of situations, they could see what was going on. This very much points to their unprofessional behavior and that someone who was doing it wasnt paying too much of attention while doing it. We were left with 47$ USD, which were released for first milestone. And for other two milestones for which we field a dispute freelancer said that we should get 0.00$.
We were left with nothing for our work, freelancer took their cut from the dispute and from the full price that we should have received, and employer walks away with money and project. If you are missing some bad experience in life, freelancer is the site for you. If not than avoid it!
Look how much negative reviews they have here. It says a lot about them.

Tip for consumers:
Move your business on some other site. Don't bother with this one.

This issue was resolved but it took quite a while. Perhaps because of COVID-19 issues with small staff?
