Freelancer.com is a website that provides an online job marketplace for freelance workers from around the world. Formerly known as GetAFreelancer.com, the company was founded in 2004 by Plendo Sweden, headed up by Magnus Tibell of Swedish web solutions company Innovate It. GetAFreelancer.com was bought on the 7th May 2009 by the Australian company Ignition Networks. The buyers changed the name to Freelancer.com in October 2009.
Buyers are individuals or companies who wish to outsource their work. Buyers must register and set up a profile on Freelancer.com. The buyer is able to specify the budget range for a project. Based on this and the project description, the interested provider makes a bid, which is then forwarded to the buyer. The buyer is then able to review all the bids he or she receives and judge for themselves who they would like to select to complete the project.
Providers, or “freelancers”, are individuals or teams who wish to be hired for outsourced work. Individuals may be full or part time self-employed persons, or those who wish to make some extra money on an ad hoc basis. Some providers on Freelancer.com are in fact teams or agencies who bid for work to delegate out to one of their members.
