CEOs of major companies currently have the lowest confidence in the potential for economic growth. Generally, this sentiment is fuelled by the uncertainty created by the Covid-19 pandemic.
However, despite layoffs in many sectors, companies still have staffing requirements but the trend nowadays is to tread cautiously & hire freelancers who will not reflect negatively on a company’s balance sheet as a recurring expense. As a result, freelancer platforms that connect skills to job opportunities have experienced unprecedented growth in the past year.
Sergey Greenfields who is based in the UK has launched a new freelance platform called SweatyQuid. He claims it addresses many of the problems both freelancers & companies experience with the current offerings in the market.
Sergey was a freelancer for 5 years, but found his experience unsatisfactory, so he decided to build a better service himself to eliminate all the issues he had with current platforms.
SweatyQuid connects people looking to hire skilled people with the right freelancers. Freelancers can list their skills & offer a set price for various projects they feel most confident in performing such as building a Website of a specific type for a fixed price. Skills are organized into 8 different categories namely:
- Graphic design
- Digital marketing
- Writing & translation
- Video & animation
- Programming & tech
- Business
- Fun & lifestyle
- Music & audio
The platform offers a safe, controlled method for freelancers & potential employers to connect & discuss specifications before a deal is struck. Once both parties are satisfied with the terms, freelancers can go ahead & complete their project with confidence since their fees are held in escrow by SweatyQuid. On completion the employer scrutinises the job & if satisfied, releases payment. A method that protects both parties very well. So if you have skills to sell or are in need of a freelancer, pay SweatyQuid a visit to view their offerings.
