Freelance Hub

Work with us, not for us.

Scoped briefs, direct client contact, and no unpaid pitching. Here is exactly how it runs.

Why people stay in the pool

  1. 01

    Paid on time

    Thirty-day terms, and we chase our clients so you do not have to chase us.

  2. 02

    Scoped work

    You get a written brief with an agreed definition of done, not a standing Slack channel.

  3. 03

    No unpaid pitching

    We do not ask freelancers to produce speculative work to win a project.

  4. 04

    Direct client contact

    You talk to the client. We do not put an account manager between you and the decision.

  5. 05

    Repeat engagements

    Most of our freelancers work with us across several projects rather than one.

  6. 06

    Your own tools

    We care that it is maintainable. Use whatever editor you like.

Freelance questions

How are freelance rates set?

You tell us your rate. We do not run reverse auctions and we do not ask people to undercut each other for a brief.

How much work can I expect?

It varies with the project pipeline and we will not pretend otherwise. Most people in the pool work with us in blocks rather than continuously.

Can I work with you part-time alongside other clients?

Yes. Most of our freelancers do. We agree an hours-per-month baseline up front so both sides can plan.

What time zones do you work across?

We are async-first, so the overlap requirement is usually a couple of hours rather than a full working day.

How long does the application take to review?

We aim to reply within a week either way.

Prefer to just email?

Send a portfolio link and a line about what you do.

Not ready to apply?

We email when new briefs open up. No more than monthly.
