Exceeded expectations
December 16, 2018

Hello, I just wanted to send all compliments to your employee Judith J, who has helped me in a way I cant describe simply with rating 10 stars. She went beyond my expectations, showed genuine interest, I felt I was heard, and not to mention the issue has been solved. You are happy to have such an asset to your team! It is people like this who make customers come back.

Very courteous!
April 16, 2018

Ms. Brenda was very courteous, and gave clear instructions on what to do regarding my concern. She also reassured me that the site administrator will take necessary action and investigate the issue. Would love for her to assist me again should I have other concerns. :)

Freelancer Programs
August 4, 2017

Avery from Freelancer contacted to offer me a program they're offering on their platform. They were very professional, helpful and communicative. Most of my experiences with Freelancer's staff in different areas are so far good, I'm always left with an impression that they are professional.

LOU C
January 11, 2019

Agent Lou C provided really good service in problem solving issues with my funds. I definitely do not agree on the way Freelancer addressed it but Lou provided clear explanation and options for me to review and decide.

This was absolutely a 5 star service.

Awesome service
June 7, 2022

Chelsea was very prompt, professional and thoughtful. From prioritising the application review to kindly informing about a certain delay, that not many people do when setting a meeting, she provided the best services.

I work with Freelancer for several years, even before they buy RentACoder, and the only time I had a problem with a bad employer, they support gives me a great help. Actually I'm making all my month profit through it. People who has problems, might want to check the rules first: don't accept bids or don't bid in projects which the owner has no stars (if they're not new at the website).

A pleasant chat!
August 19, 2017

Good support and the answers given were sufficient. Although I think it could have been a bit faster in my eyes - used to work CS as well. But over all, good experience, and much better service compared to some other bigger and smaller companies online.

I tried this site for about 2 weeks. I only tried out doing graphic design contest. A majority of the designers there are unprofessional and unimaginative. Most designers at freelancer.com copy others work, steel images of the internet, use stock clip art, and can not come up with original ideas. For example, if you ask for a logo for a real estate company expect to see the same image of the same house from 100 different people. And designing for someone is a guessing game. You will hardly ever get any feedback on your designs. And most clients give very vague statement about what they want.

Best with freelancer.
December 26, 2023

As a web developer with several years of experience, my experience with Freelancer.com has been overwhelmingly positive. The platform provides a wide range of opportunities to connect with clients from all over the world, allowing me to expand my client base and take on more projects. The user-friendly interface and intuitive project management tools make it easy to communicate with clients, track progress, and deliver high-quality work. The site's escrow system also provides peace of mind, ensuring that payments are securely held until the project is completed to the client's satisfaction. Overall, I would highly recommend Freelancer.com to any web developer looking to grow their business and find new clients.

I just became a new user to this site and was lucky enough to score a job on my first day for 550$ USD. Freelancer made me owe them 55$ USD which is fine to get a percentage of the business.

Problem is when you do the job and the client decides to takes off on the project entirely before paying or even viewing your work, Freelancer.com still wants there money.
I suggest staying far away from this Indian bot flooded marketplace and take your chances with craigslist or whatever local classifieds website that's in your area.

Authenticaton process laborious
March 11, 2024

All I wanted to do was make payment to the contractor and more than an hour later, I was still filling out forms, having information rejected, and having a difficult time finding where to go to get help. Why not have a simple submit payment option and be done. I won't use Freelancer again. There are too many other services out there that make it far simpler.

Verification Process with Chelsea V.
July 12, 2022

The verification process is really easy and takes up only something like 10 minutes of your time. Ms. Chelsea V. (my interviewer) was very kind, cheerful and informative, and everything went smooth. Thank you again and have a great day!

Freelancer post fake projects, often fixed price, to try to scam finder fees from users. Dreadful business with even worse customer service, don't touch them, go to reputable websites like Upwork and Peopleperhour

Maine was very helpful, friendly and persuasive.

For the team leader: Please try supporting your agents better and perhaps let them know about payment issues with certain third-party providers upfront.
This would make their job hella lot easier and save time for both parties involved, agent and customer.
Give Maine a raise!

Confusing Payment system, but good support
June 24, 2018

Freelancer's payment system is a terrible mess. Transactions on your bank statement do not match the receipts from freelancer due to project fees amongst many other nuances that make the payment process confusing to deal with. Support is great though very friendly, patient, and responsive.
