It's very rare to be hired in this site though.. I've been in the site for sooo long and all the people who
make jobs never reply.
Hello
Emerge, i quite agree with you but, you have to understand that such problem
also exist on freelancer site that has been in existence for year's. for instance
odesk recently change their name to upwork. In the past i've worked well, and made money on odesk on services related to seo & marketing ..ecc
Today, it's difficult getting one contract because of the number of jobseeker's are more than the employer's thus making it difficult to completely depend on such freelance as a mean's of living. The only people who are still making decent living from those freelance site are those from india,bangladesh...ecc they easily get job because they bid so low.Perhap's they can easily capture the attention of most employer's who like awarding project to low bidder's.
The same issue freelancer.com. This freelance site seems to be saturated with more jobseeker's. i only made good money through the affiliate program when the compesation was good. But, for now i have better thing's to do with my time.
It's bad news for those of us in europe, sometime's i only get project outside odesk from established customer's.
Back to XBTFreelancer, i don't know if, the freelance company has a good marketing (team) manager if, they do they should focus on finding employer's whose interest is to outsource project for less than the amount they normally spend when hiring locally. It's very easy to get contractor's(worker's) once the site is loaded with REAL employer's whose interest is to post project because they are interested in awarding or finding contractor's.
One method of filtering out unwanted employer's (post) is to set & charge a refundable fee once project has been awarded. This will help filter out spammer's and ensure 80% of the post are real.
I know the last step will be difficult to implement considering the fact that it a new freelance. It's better to have few REAL member's than a site packed with unreal member's.Thanks (
