Motivational update on Free-lance.ru

Recently, another update came at the largest freelance platform. The main event was the closure of the section "Employer feedback". From now on, in order to receive feedback, according to which customers and executors are usually oriented, it is necessary to pay 10% of the transaction amount to the resource and submit project materials and an agreement.

If you still do not know about it, and are trying to find the "Leave feedback" button, read the full text of the beautifully wrapped news.

How does everything look now?

Old opinions of employers are not zeroed but simply frozen. - That is, there is no need to talk about fair competition and motivation of new users. Only old-timers with a large number of reviews remained in the oil, and twists who now have a more explicit priority.

You have to pay for everything.

Now you have to pay for almost everything, starting with PRO-accounts and ending with a rollback, for each transaction you make if you want to get + to recommendations. It seems that the RBU did not justify itself and the administration of Free-lance is trying to bring everyone to it voluntarily-forcibly.

How to be newcomers?

If earlier it was possible for novices to respond to projects 3 times a day. Now everything has been reduced to 3 times a month. It will not be clear what the contracts will look like and who will deal with them for projects worth 500-1000 rubles. So the lower segment will simply be pushed out from the site. You can of course collect the opinions of customers on third-party resources

But it still seems to me that opinions located on one’s own website can be no less twisted. Of course, you can open groups in the same VK and collect reviews there. But this is a suspicious event.

Of course, in some ways Free-Lance is right, whitening the market is a good and healthy idea, but if such things are done, then you need to do it honestly, and not without warning. At least for the sake of decency would have dropped all the old reviews. Especially if it was about "cheating", then it would be fair to all. And so it turns out that honest laborers with experience and hundreds of reviews remain in the oil, like black cheaters, and beginners will have to swallow the dust of innovations to prove their abilities. After all, only they will need to sign contracts and pay contributions to the cash desk of the site. Because they will need feedback. And the rest ... and the rest are not needed, they have everything, and they will continue to work without deductions.

PS: If it is interesting to someone to raise a resource for reviews, on which it would be possible to link accounts with freelancing.
I am ready to help in this event. Write
