How to choose the right freelancer to carry out your project

Once you post your project you will start receiving bids from freelancers interested in working for you. We will email you a short list of candidates to make it easier for you. And you can also access your account control panel at Workana to see all the bids you receive.

From here on, you can chat with the freelancers to get to know them better and ask them any questions you may have.

In addition, we recommend you look at their profiles for a complete overview. Here you can see what a freelancer profile looks like:

Now let’s take a closer look at what you can find out about each freelancer in their Workana profile:

As you can see, knowing these facts will help you make a decision faster and with better results. And, of course, while they serve as a guide, don’t forget to contact the freelancers to get to know them better, find out how much they’ll charge you and determine how quickly they’ll get the job done. These details are essential to decide to work with one or the other.

As soon as you choose one, don’t delay, make the security deposit and the freelancer will start working for you. Do it with confidence, because your money is safe at Workana: the funds will only be released when you are satisfied with the professional’s result and give the OK.
