The easy way to find work
As a freelancer you want to be paid a fair wage for the work you do. You don't want to have to trawl through a database of job descriptions that turn out to be fake. You want to feel that you are valued.
Sign up with Prolancer for free to join a community which takes an ethical approach to recruitment of remote workers. Prolancer provides an opportunity for personal development and further growth including the ability to create teams with other prolancers to enable you to work on larger projects.
Relationship managers work with hirers to create job descriptions and set fees based on our "fair fee for fair work" policy. We set a minimum fee of £12 per hour or £100 per day.
Once you start work on a project, all fees are kept securely in an escrow account and are released based on agreed milestones. Tools within Prolancer are used to ensure smooth project management.
