More updates for freelancers
AI Application Assistant
Our AI assistant analyzes your profile, compares it with the project, and generates a tailored cover letter, customized to your experience, strengths, and relevant overlaps with the project.

Contract preferences
In your account, you can now specify whether you’d like to be contacted for employee leasing or permanent positions as well. This way, you’ll only receive offers that match your preferences.

Post your own projects
As a Premium freelancer, you can now publish your own projects. Find targeted support for your work or team up with other freelancers to collaborate.

No more translations needed
You no longer need to manage your profile in multiple languages. Soon, clients will be able to view any profile in their preferred language.

More updates to your freelancer profile
As part of our brand relaunch, we’ve made a few improvements to the freelancer profile. Our goal? To make it easier to use, improve the quality of matches, and set the stage for future features.
Here’s what’s new:
#1 “Other” field removed
We’ve removed the “Other” text field from the freelancer profile to create a cleaner, more organised layout. To ensure your profile gets matched with the right opportunities, please add any relevant information to the “Skills” field (only the data entered there will be used for matching).
#2 Automatic profile translations
Profiles can now be automatically translated using AI when needed. Any existing translations will remain unchanged until you choose to update them manually.
#3 YouTube link removed
YouTube video links are no longer supported. Instead, you can upload work samples directly in the “Portfolio” section or describe them in the “Skills” area.
#4 Travel availability comment removed
Travel availability is now directly integrated into the matching process. Any additional details can be added in the “Skills” field or selected from the available options.
#5 New character limits
To enhance readability, we’ve adjusted character limits in several profile sections. Your existing content won’t be affected unless you choose to edit it after the relaunch.
More updates for companies
As a client, managing your job postings is now even easier, with more transparency, less effort, and clearer communication with freelancers.
The more up-to-date your projects are, the more credible you appear to potential freelancers. To ensure that only relevant and available opportunities are shown, projects will now be automatically deactivated after 6 months.

Found the perfect match for your project? Congratulations! You can now close the project with just one click and all applicants will automatically receive a notification. This gives them clear feedback, prevents follow-up questions, and keeps your inbox organized.

Hi Natalia, good article. But by when will these changes be applied?
Thanks Danai! I’m glad you liked the article. The changes are set to roll out this week, so keep an eye out, you might notice them popping up sooner than expected. 😉 I’ll let you know if anything shifts, but it should be smooth sailing.
Cheers,
