Here’s how it works
6 easy steps to grow your business with the best experts available
Step 1
Create a project description and identify the skills you require.
Step 2
You will be contacted by a Prolancer relationship manager to find out more about the project, your business and the resource(s) you need. You will also be advised on the project fee to set based on our 'fair fee for fair work' policy. We set a minimum fee of £12 per hour or £100 per day. To progress, you are asked to pay an initial fee which is fully refundable* if no suitable resources are found.
Step 3
Your dedicated relationship manager will add any additional information to the project description and publish it on the Prolancer site so prolancers can send in proposals.
Step 4
Your relationship manager will use Prolancer's smart algorithms and personal interview to match suitable resources based on skills required, portfolio, experience, communication skills, geography and the culture of your business as well as reviewing any proposals.
Step 5
You will receive a shortlist of resources for final interview together with technical test reports, portfolios and assessments (as appropriate).
Step 6
Conduct final interviews and hire the best match. A full range of comprehensive project management tools are available within Prolancer. All payments are secured via escrow accounts and are released at agreed times in the project.
