The word freelance means “free spear” and in the Middle Ages meant a knight ready to fight for hire on any belligerent side. In the twentieth century, this word (freelancing or freelancing) began to mean the regular professional performance of certain works by an employee without joining the staff of any company and without creating his own company. And in the 21st century, with the development of the Internet, freelancing received two main types:
- « distant work» using the Internet (distance jobs, remote jobs, online jobs);
- "physical", offline performing irregular tasks - finding which (and for customers - finding outsourced performers for which) also in the vast majority of cases now takes place on the Internet.
By definition, remote freelancing from the point of view of legislation has nothing to do with labor law - but is work on the basis of a civil contract (“customer” / “performer”) or on the basis of an oral agreement, which includes various types of electronic correspondence and registration Online.
In this regard, a freelancer cannot claim social protection legally inherent to “regular” employees, as well as any other state protection of his labor rights. It will be protected by law only if it has concluded a full-fledged contract with the customer’s seal and the signature of its authorized representative. True, even in this case, the terms of the contract may contain the possibility of attributing violations to the freelancer himself, which, according to the texts of other contracts, quite legally gives the customer the right not to fulfill obligations to the contractor - so you need to be careful even with a completely “decent noble” conclusion of contracts.
From the point of view of taxation, in cases of official documentary registration of the work performed by him, it is most effective for a freelancer to remain an individual (in this case, the income tax for him is paid to the state by the customer, the employer). Or you can register for free as a sole proprietor using a simplified taxation and reporting system (but then the latter should be submitted to the freelancer himself).
However, at the moment, the lower the cost of the work, the greater the likelihood that freelance work is ordered and paid outside the legal workflow and cash flows of the customer, even when concluding contracts with signatures - they, for example, can be drawn up in the form of an agreement or receipt of two individuals (company employee -customer and freelance performer).
In any case, lawyers strongly advise freelancers, if possible, to find out the name of the client company. And, if we are talking about a Ukrainian company, check information about them on the portal of the former State Register (in the future - the Ministry of Justice register) or a similar register in other countries. In this case, the following points may be suspicious: the date of registration of the company several days or weeks before attempts to hire freelancers, registration at a given address of a long series of companies, a suspicious registration address (type of city facility) for a given profile of the customer’s activity.
Types of deception of freelancers
What in recent times was called by the crude jargon “scam” was and remains, most often, attempts to deceive novice freelancers. The most active and widespread in the 1990s-2000s were schemes to defraud free workers, markers of which were the following facts in customer proposals:
- The customer asks the performer transfer money first for training or materials necessary for work; sometimes in the form of sending an SMS message (expensive, about which there may be no warning) - the customer almost certainly disappears after this;
- Surprisingly offered simple mechanical operation like sorting letters or photos, mailing letters, typing, or collecting pens. But in real life, handles are made entirely by a conveyor belt (it’s worth the effort to find a video of the supposedly “manual” process offered to you). No need for mass typing of texts has long “existed in nature.” Letters and photos are sorted and sent by secretaries or other employees with broader responsibilities. And even illegal spam activities already have a high degree of automation by “bots”;
- An activity is proposed that does not make economic sense, but is based on some supposed mistakes, punctures various complex systems (“magic wallets” that return more than they are supposed to, and the like);
- Offered pyramidal a scheme associated with the involvement of as many acquaintances and friends of the performer as possible in the activity (and often, again, economically senseless);
- Performers are being recruited without specifying profile or industry in the advertisement activities performed and/or requirements for the performer;
- Quite normal small remote work is offered, but in an extremely urgent mode, literally within a few hours- a freelancer, due to haste, loses his vigilance and sends the finished result of the work, without controlling who he does it to; then usually does not receive payment for the work. How this is “treated”: in such urgent cases, calmly demand an advance payment by transfer to a card - for the customer this is more or less safe, since a bank card account serves as an identification way to find a contractor in case something happens;
- Earnings offered ad clicks on Internet portals - click bots are allegedly generously paid by agencies that receive money for clicks from those interested in increasing this type of traffic. It is possible for a single freelancer to earn money in this way - but it’s pitiful pennies, since the main web advertising systems will calculate mass clicks from one computer quite quickly. As a result, without a “live” prepayment, it may turn out that your fee for clicks, if it goes to an electronic wallet, cannot be promptly cashed out because the amount is too small.
There are a lot of similar schemes - and, in principle, a domestic freelancer in the case of remote work, alas, should by default initially suspect any potential customer of dishonesty, be tense and ready for losses. And only after thoroughly making sure that the work scheme and its payment are transparent can you agree to complete the task.
Performers of offline work who are in personal contact with the customer are, of course, somewhat calmer - but here it is necessary to actively look for pitfalls or demand advance payment.
Where to look for freelance work
Just like when looking for a permanent job, Freelancers can find assignments in two ways:
- search for customer advertisements;
- offer by performers information about their qualifications (resume, portfolio) - which are sought by customers.
Naturally, the first method usually gives a faster effect - but omitting the second method would be strategically wrong. Before we talk about specialized sites for freelancers, we note that To inform potential customers about themselves, performers should not hesitate to actively use:
- social media(especially the LinkedIn network created specifically for business contacts) - both your personal accounts and groups in which you are registered or that you yourself have created. If you don’t want to mix personal with work, just create a separate group (community) in all social networks about yourself as a performer of certain tasks, fill it with portfolio content, invite potential customers to it;
- blog platforms and forum accounts - if your activity has a visual or textual component, feel free to publish posts on your personal blogs with the visible fruits of your labors (you can put a single meta tag on them so that a potential customer can easily “weed out” your portfolio from other blog posts). Note that, in addition to the well-known livejournal.com, there are “professional” blogs on portals for freelancers and on websites for specialists in your profession - for the purpose of self-promotion, they should not be neglected either;
- free classifieds platforms(olx.ua and any others), sites of newspapers of free advertisements that have survived to this day (aviso.ua and the like) - they all contain sections about work, including one-time work.
- It is appropriate to place a resume with offers of one-time work (especially remote IT work) on “standard” ones. employee/employer search portals(rabota.ua and many others);
- Personal site- if you have one.
In addition, having taken the path of freelancing, do not be lazy to create, store and replenish email list all your “good” customers, do not under any circumstances lose their contacts after payment for the work. After all, from time to time it is appropriate to send out mailings offering your services to as many potential consumers as possible.
The most effective way to find customers is to use freelance portals, through which most freelancers and customers who want to get a one-time outsourced task find each other. Most often, current portals have both free economy functions and paid premium opportunities to promote yourself as a task performer. For Ukraine, Belarus and Russia, it is worth noting, first of all, powerful, well-structured multidisciplinary portals:
- fl.ru (formerly free-lance.ru);
- freelancehunt.com (mainly IT, design, articles);
- freelancerbay.com (mainly IT, design, marketing);
- globalfreelance.ua (academic tasks in exact and humanities disciplines).
Finally, we note that in addition to these “omnivorous” portals, there are specialized freelance exchanges for designers, photographers, programmers, copywriters and other workers - as well as web aggregators that collect freelance advertisements from several exchanges at once. One of the most complete up-to-date catalogs of such portals was created and updated on his website kadrof.ru by Sergey Antropov, the author of the book “I am a freelancer”, which is very useful in this context. And you can see dozens of links to online freelance exchanges collected by this tireless popularizer.
9 myths about freelancing
Myth 1. Freelancing = free time all the time
Reality. Of course, it is technically easier for a freelancer to ignore work and spend weekdays on computer games or drinking than a newly hired employee. But only here, if you don’t work, you don’t make money. The main thing is not to forget that the concept of “working” for a freelancer includes spending half of your time and effort on finding a job, on compiling a portfolio and other forms of self-promotion and self-PR, on negotiations, correspondence and meetings with customers, on regular performance of test unpaid or low-paid tasks.
That is why most freelancers who became wealthy along this path initially worked much more than 40 hours a week for many years - that is, significantly more than the norm for employees hired by companies.
Freelancing for a beginner who wants to support himself entirely with freelancing alone is a more labor-intensive method than traditional hired labor in a company.
Myth 2. Freelancing = no more bosses, no more hierarchical stress
Reality. Do you know who you, as a freelancer, will be among all those customers who will give you money for your work? All these people are your new bosses, nothing less.
Instead of one or two bosses, a freelancer gets dozens of them; and all of these are the closest managers, and all of them have every nuance of your work in their field of vision directly. All these temporary bosses will communicate with you differently - so don’t “get used to it”, don’t “get used to it”, don’t learn the shortcomings and oddities. All of them can have different approaches to, say, an “ok” button in a distant nested service on a website, the design of which you didn’t even intend to think about. All of them will one day simultaneously send 14 emails to your dumping proposal - with a note in each that they are waiting for a response only until the evening.
A business owner can be his own boss. But a freelancer who has no other income remains an employee. Moreover, not ordinary, but similar to a puppet, to which a thousand strings are tied in advance (customers for the entire subsequent history of freelance career). They just pull these threads not simultaneously, but on each one in turn. And a freelancer is also a puppet who feels terribly bad if she is not yanked, whereas in companies it is often the other way around.
However, many freelancers are “pulled” by their clients at the same time. And how sorry you will be to miss an order and lose the client’s trust if you are physically unable to fulfill several orders at the same time, and you have not yet matured to hire subordinates, open and expand a normal business.
Myth 3. Freelancing = no more red tape and corporate bureaucracy
Reality. For a few dollars you can work without a contract. But if we are talking about orders that actually feed a person, the entire administration will fall on the freelancer: reading, and even drawing up contracts, registrations, taxes, accompanying documents.
Plus, again, your self-promotion, building your personal brand, as we have already hinted, will regularly require a lot of documentary and partly bureaucratic work: compiling different types portfolio and resume, find where to send them, send them out, enter into correspondence.
And all this not once every five years when changing jobs - but monthly, weekly, regularly and inevitably. Don't you wish you could hire someone to handle all those self-marketing files, websites, and emails for you? If you already want to, admit that you have stopped dreaming of being a freelancer, but have nevertheless matured to the desire to found a small stationary business with your own staff, with at least one secretary.
Myth 4. Freelancing is the best solution for a non-contact, uncommunicative person who wants to be a “lone wolf” in life.
Reality. Clients want to communicate with freelancers. And freelancers have more of this communication than many employees hired by companies.
There is no such life in which a freelancer sits in a fortress of solitude and all the time silently swallows the streams of work flowing toward him. This kind of life, we repeat, exists in some positions in large companies, but not among freelancers.
Myth 5. A freelancer can work from home even in underwear: I’ll save on business clothes
Reality. The only reason why the home-working loner often ends up in his underwear in movies, books and comics is because he is often so busy with work that he doesn’t have time to get dressed and wash the dishes and himself in the morning.
But seriously, the very first meeting with the client forces the freelancer to approach his own dress code more strictly than if it were an ordinary working day for an employee big company. And such meetings will be frequent.
In addition, for many people, an important component of the dream of becoming a freelancer (this time let’s mention a really positive, not a mythical factor) is the possibility of remote work using the Internet with temporary residence in other countries with beautiful nature and architecture. But is there any point in traveling far and renting housing in such a place in order to sit in it or walk around in an unpretentious manner? On the contrary, most likely, in a beautiful place you will dress especially beautifully every morning - so that you can sit down with special pleasure to work with your laptop on the terrace above the sea, mountains or in the park of a medieval town. Will there be any savings on business attire? Is not a fact.
Myth 6. Freelancing is ideal for people who quickly become bored with any kind of work.
Reality. If it’s difficult for you to retain the desire to work in companies, if you don’t have the strength to cope with the feelings of “I’m tired, oh, this melancholy again” - then it will be even more difficult for you to cope with exactly the same feelings in freelancing. And these feelings will appear there too: they comprehend all people.
For people who are very prone to melancholy, external discipline - in the form of superiors or, conversely, in the form of responsibility for their own business and its staff - serves as an “angel on your shoulder”, whose gaze you feel and cannot completely relax.
If you don’t look over your shoulder, then in freelance life with weak willpower there is a much greater chance of deteriorating than in someone else’s company or in your own business.
Myth 7. Favorite business + freelancing = not work, but pleasure that brings money
Reality. Children think the same about representatives of many professions - about football players or actresses, for example - that instead of working, they “get pure pleasure, and even a lot of money.” Adults know what grueling long-term training, far from the pleasure of playing, occupies the entire childhood and youth of a professional football player or acrobat.
It's the same with any other job. Few things bring pleasure when repeated for the thousandth time. Few favorite things, put on a daily basis, come easy, without “sweat.” Freelancing or not freelancing does not matter - the pleasure of work will regularly be replaced by the opposite attitude towards it. There is no other life.
Myth 8. All you need to make money is a website
Reality. There are too many new freelancers who think that their website will be a money printing machine - like “that blog” or “that service”. Like, collect reprints on the site, copy service interfaces - and keep your pockets wider!
In fact, you can only monetize a site that people find, find unique and interesting. And for this to never become outdated, a freelancer needs to work on content and a lot of software and design aspects, and at the same time comprehend all the technical innovations and gadgets - daily, stubbornly, selflessly. And for a single person who wants to survive on just one site, there will be a huge, non-stop wave of work.
Myth 9. The freelancer takes all the income from the order.
Reality. Freelancers buy from their earnings (and their time, which, as the saying goes, can also be counted in money) absolutely everything for their workplace. And absolutely everything for your social background. And in many companies, employees are spared this.
For example, freelance programmers are forced to buy and learn a lot of new technology and software so as not to miss the adaptation of the code they create to the realities of the Web and applications. And these new items, as you all know, appear approximately monthly. So, without a plan for purchasing updates, you can quickly become “outdated” and lose even past loyal customers.
That is, a freelancer needs to outline in advance a more or less accurate plan for such expenses. And where is the business plan written? Isn’t it time to think about your own business instead of hiring a freelancer?
Summary
Don't get me wrong: I don't want to say that working for yourself is worse than working for someone else. The decision to work for yourself may be the most correct and amazing choice of your life - on a par with the choice of faith and spouse.
Just remember that not only freelancers work for themselves, but also business owners: founders of projects with a calculated plan, mission and, of course, a small creative team. Do the math: maybe this choice in your case will be more personally attractive and even more enjoyable than freelancing.
Almost every popular publication dedicated to business, marketing or IT regularly contains publications about remote work and the growing share of freelance workers in many companies.
More and more people are working remotely, if not full-time, then at least occasionally. Companies, in turn, are increasingly hiring freelancers or temporary freelancers to fill gaps in skills and competencies that do not exist among permanent employees.
In a word, if you are attracted by the prospects of working remotely, now is the time to try yourself in practice. And freelance exchanges will help you with this - special sites where you can find offers for remote work.
Almost all freelance exchanges that were created 5 years ago or more were focused exclusively on all CIS countries. But in the last three years, platforms have begun to appear that are clearly positioned as platforms for performers from Ukraine. For example, an online service for ordering services. In this article we will look at both.
Freelancehunt.com
Over the past three years, the popularity of this exchange among Ukrainian freelancers has been growing, and in July 2016, the service’s turnover amounted to almost 2 million hryvnia. You can take a look at this and some other statistics, according to official information from the administration, below:
The advantage of Freelancehunt is the relative simplicity of work - from registration to sending the first applications, it will take a freelancer no more than half an hour, and even then taking into account the time spent filling out the portfolio. You can find many active projects in a variety of categories, such as internet marketing and SEO promotion:
Every day, thousands of projects are opened on the site in the field of design, programming, text processing, SEO and marketing, mobile development and many others.
The site offers cooperation through a secure transaction - the site guarantees both parties to the project the safety of their funds. While the task is being completed, the customer’s money is reserved on the service, which eliminates fraud. The contractor receives all the funds earned if he has fulfilled the terms of reference and delivered the work within the agreed time frame. If the freelancer does not fulfill his obligations, the customer is returned his money.
Freelance.ua
A freelance exchange aimed at customers and performers from Ukraine, which features a minimalistic interface and convenient division of orders into one-time projects, ongoing cooperation, and even offers for office work.
Sorting projects by specialization allows you to manage the output of orders depending on the niche in which the specialist is looking for work. For example, if you check the “Promotion (SEO, SMM)” item in the side menu on the left, we get a list of projects that belong to this category:
The search for performers is implemented using a similar principle, displaying their rating, average cost of work and other information useful to the customer:
Taking into account the fact that we are talking about an exchange focused on Ukraine, the number of both orders and performers here is quite large. True, this figure is most likely due to the fact that inactive projects are also shown in the search:
In addition, the customer can indicate the date until which the search for a contractor for his project will be relevant, which simplifies the assessment by the freelancer himself.
Weblancer.net
One of the very first sites of this kind, which began operating back in 2003. Well suited for beginners, as there are not many projects available here, but they have moderate requirements for performers.
Freelancer jobs and jobs are organized into a relatively small number of categories, making it easy to find even if you're visiting the site for the first time.
The catalog of performers and portfolio of works are placed in different sections, which allows you to make a choice based on certain criteria or simply by visual assessment, for example, if you are looking for a web designer.
The customer can create his first project even without registration; the account information will need to be specified at the last stage of filling out the form. If something is not clear, you can watch a video that shows step by step the process of placing an order without registering.
By the way, freelancers can take advantage of such an interesting opportunity as internal advertising on Weblancer.net pages, which helps in “pumping up” their profile.
Exchange statistics at the time of writing:
As you can see, there are more than enough vacancies. But it is worth considering that a lot depends on the specialization - almost half of all open orders belong to the “Web programming/sites” section.
Freelance.ru
Large platform with many advanced options for both employers and freelancers. For example, the catalog of performers has been truly developed high level– in addition to the usual reviews and portfolio of completed work, there are statuses that characterize the level of the specialist, the identifier of his online presence, the ability to leave comments on individual works and other interesting features:
A freelancer can actively promote himself using a whole range of internal advertising services; there is a division by type of account, which determines the scope of available opportunities:
And the “safe transaction” service, although it requires payment of a 5% commission, guarantees both the contractor and the customer a refund if one of the parties to the transaction behaves in bad faith.
In addition to standard projects, vacancies that involve long-term cooperation or remote work are listed separately:
An employer can create a familiar project card, and in some cases use a store of ready-made works. This is relevant for such niches as web design and printing, photography, architecture, texts, etc.
In general, Freelance.ru is one of the largest and most multifunctional freelance exchanges on the Russian and Ukrainian markets. But a beginner will definitely have to spend some time to understand all the available options.
FL.ru
A direct competitor to the previous service on our list. If we take the scale of the CIS, these two freelance exchanges directly compete for the status of the largest player in this market. According to official information from the creators of FL.ru, more than a million performers have already been registered on the service, providing services in a variety of areas - from law to web development.
The job feed is updated almost in real time, and the secure transaction service provides additional guarantees of payment, which allows you to avoid most of the problems characteristic of working in the freelance format.
PRO accounts with expanded functionality are available for both customers and performers. Considering their relatively low cost, you can return the money spent almost from the first completed project:
The best performers and popular services can be found on the main page of the project. This is especially useful for professionals who have experience and skills in various fields, such as graphic design, layout and programming, or knowledge of English:
Thus, you can not be scattered on promoting your services in several directions at once, but concentrate your efforts on the most profitable niches.
FL.ru leaves a pleasant impression, but it is worth noting that the same statement will be true for this site as for the previous exchange on our list - you will need to spend some time to figure out what’s what and how everything works.
Kabanchik.ua
This is not exactly a freelance exchange in its classical sense. We have a full-fledged marketplace for ordering services of almost any kind, most of which are related to certain online work.
Here you can easily find a person who will take care of cleaning your apartment, as well as a text translator or a designer to create a website layout. The cooperation algorithm is quite simple:
- The customer leaves the task with a description of the necessary nuances.
- Performers leave their applications, one of which is confirmed by the customer.
- The selected worker completes the task.
- The customer accepts it and gives his assessment.
The artist’s profile looks simple and concise:
There is a separate section for digital workers:
And division by city, which simplifies the search for an artist. Need help moving or delivering pizza from your favorite cafe? No problem:
In general, if you are ready to take on any job just to earn more money, “Kabanchik” will be exactly the platform that you should pay attention to first.
The high popularity of the service is evidenced, first of all, by the monthly turnover of more than three million hryvnia, which became known from an interview with its creators to the online publication Ain.ua.
No less eloquent confirmation of the excellent development prospects of Kabanchik.ua was the purchase by its owners of Prom.ua - the transaction became known in February 2015.
Kwork.ru
The creators of this exchange use the bright slogan “New Generation Freelancing”, and, I must say, quite justifiably. The approach on which this service is based is quite unusual - it is based on the principle of a fixed cost for all services. Regardless of the topic and nature of the work, its cost to the customer is exactly 500 rubles.
On the one hand, this may seem unprofitable, because some services are much more expensive. But Kwork is focused specifically on one-time jobs, and if you work quickly, you can earn those same 500 rubles in just half an hour. In addition, such a convenient thing as additional options is implemented here:
That is, by analogy with an online store, you can make additional sales through satisfied customers with your services. For example, in Quark, on the topic of writing an article, as an additional service, offer its optimization for keywords and publication.
When the customer selects a service and replenishes the balance, the order is immediately sent to the seller, who has specified the completion date in advance. Then, when the task is completed and confirmed by the seller, the contractor automatically receives payment.
Select your clients carefully
Unlike office work, freelancing has its own specifics. Working remotely, instead of one permanent employer, you will deal with dozens of customers. Moreover, not every one of them will have a positive experience of cooperation.
Experienced specialists and employers often find customers or performers based on recommendations. Whereas freelancing for beginners is most easily implemented through online exchanges.
The largest exchanges for remote work
Leading freelancing sites on the Internet primarily cover the categories of software development, creation and promotion of web resources, and user-generated content. Among them:
- Pchel.net– the best free freelance website with a simple user-friendly interface. Freelancers and employers can use all the functionality of the freelance exchange without having to purchase additional services. Pchol.net contains an impressive database of freelancers - the exchange was created in 2007 under the name Freelancerbay. In 2018, the site was completely redesigned. New sections have been added: office job search and IT company ratings. The developers continue to develop the freelance exchange and regularly add new functionality to Pchel.net.
- Weblancer.net– the largest freelancing site in Russia at an international level. The service has been operating since 2003 and offers a search for orders and specialists in 13 categories. Provides performers with the opportunity to receive orders free of charge within two months from the date of registration. Next, you need to purchase a tariff plan (service package), the cost of which depends on the selected category. Three formats of cooperation are available: projects (one-time assignment), vacancies (ongoing cooperation), competitions (the opportunity to present your work on a competitive basis). All settlements on the exchange are carried out through payment system Webmoney.
- Freelance.Ru– the exchange was created on the basis of Intelligent Internet Technologies LLC. Provides cooperation in 23 categories in three formats - projects, freelance vacancies and competitions. Free use for freelancers is possible with a limit of up to 3 applications per day.

- FL.ru– was founded by V. Voropaev and A. Mazhirin in 2005. It covers 20 areas of work for performers from 211 countries. Provides three formats of cooperation: services (offered by performers), competitions and vacancies.
Freelance projects of narrow specialization
Competing with projects that have already occupied a significant market share, many services have found it necessary to narrow or, on the contrary, expand the list of areas of activity. This allowed the emergence of highly specialized services for copywriters (Advego, Etxt.ru, Textsale), photographers (Wedlife.ru, Fotovideozayavka.rf), lawyers (Pravoved.ru, 9111.ru). The most attractive web services for beginners today are:
- PROFI.RU– was created in 2006 and covered more than 500 types of services, most of which are provided in person (instructors, cosmetologists, doctors, builders, artists).
- Freelansim is a relatively young freelance exchange, created in 2012. The site offers 10 categories for cooperation, but the bulk of the tasks are aimed at IT specialists (web developers, programmers). For all users, the project's services are provided through a prepaid subscription. Internal payments are made in their own currency - loans (equivalent to the ruble).
- 1Clancer.ru– a resource for remote search for programmers and 1C specialists. Offers to find partners for one-time projects and ongoing cooperation.
- Devhuman.com– a web resource that allows you to assemble a team for implementation startup. Presents six main categories of tasks for creating and promoting websites.
Freelancing sites in Ukraine
Initially, the main stream of freelancers and customers from Ukraine worked exclusively on Russian exchanges. However, in last years, the opposite trend is observed. This is due to the emergence and development of convenient platforms with suitable conditions cooperation for representatives of both countries. Among the best Ukrainian exchanges:
- Freelancehunt.com– the leading freelancing site in Ukraine. Was founded in 2005. It offers cooperation in 11 areas and two main formats: projects and competitions. Using the service is absolutely free. Allows you to join teams and set prices in hryvnias or rubles.
- Freelance.ua– the site began its work in 2009. Offers 21 categories of orders with prices set in hryvnias, dollars and euros. To obtain unlimited access to submitting applications, the artist must pay for a professional account.
- Kabanchik.ua– service for ordering services in various areas (courier delivery, solving household problems and performing repairs, caring for animals, tutoring). The project began its work in 2012 and today covers the entire territory of Ukraine, as well as many cities in Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan.
- Freelance.ua– a service for searching remote vacancies and employees via the Internet. Offers 27 categories of services in the format of projects, competitions and permanent vacancies.
When working on freelance exchanges, remember that this is an opportunity to try your hand both as a task performer and as a customer for your startup or company. You can form teams, communicate with colleagues and learn from experience, reaching a completely new level of realizing your own potential.
