The “Free” in Freelancing: the Future of the Workplace, on your Smartphone
MANILA,
PHILIPPINES -
In line with the company’s vision to not only truly take the “free” in
freelancing, but also encourage our users to make an impact in society, Freelancer.com, the world’s largest
freelancing and crowdsourcing website, recently released a mobile application
that allows freelancers and employers the convenience to work efficiently
anytime and anywhere --- completely taking the step further from “working from
home”.
This coincided with the recent celebration of
its 14 million users milestone, held at Best
Western Antel Plus Hotel, Makati last January
29, 2015.
“Our 14th million milestone was a monumental
occasion not just for our company, but for the online freelancing industry.
We’re rapidly seeing a shift in the future of the workplace --- people are no
longer confined in offices, as the entire world is now our workplace. Even
more, we see professionals using our platform to make a difference for small
business owners and communities, within their finger’s reach,” says
Freelancer.com Regional Director for Southeast Asia Evan Tan
Available
to both Android and iOS users, the mobile app allows freelancers and employers
to get the same features of the website on their smart phones.
For
freelancers, the mobile app allows them to:
●
Explore jobs: Browse through
hundreds of jobs across 700+ categories --- or simply see the jobs that are
relevant to you in the ‘My Skills’ section.
●
Bid: Prepare your proposal and
place your bid on the go so you won’t miss any job opportunity.
●
Get work: Communicate with clients
and accept job offers wherever you are.
While for
Employers, the app makes these tasks easier:
●
Post projects: Post your project
straight from your mobile device, using simplified templates.
●
Find freelancers: Review bids and
get your project started immediately by awarding jobs to successful bidders on
the go.
●
Manage your projects: Communicate
with your freelancers and share files via the messaging platform. Stay up to
date wherever you are.
With Nielsen’s Evolving Digital Consumer report revealing that 3 out of
4 Filipinos access the Internet through their smartphones, Freelancer.com’s
newest mobile app makes it tremendously
easier for the Filipino professionals to find opportunities to earn more money,
build their careers or businesses, and collaborate with other professionals on
Freelancer.com.
“Online freelancing gives you the freedom to control not only the
projects that you would take, but also your own time -- you become your own
boss. Our freelancers and employers are all over the world. That’s 14 million
people working in different time zones and languages. With the Freelancer
mobile app, we are making the world a little smaller where our users have full
control of their work -- it’s now as easy as bringing out your mobile phone,”
shares Evan.
Now that online freelancing is seeing great support
from different public institutions, more and more Filipinos would be able to
use the platform to not only fulfill their personal needs, but also, to make a
difference.
As a gift to Filipino
freelancers for its 14 million users milestone, Freelancer.com is offering free
3-month PLUS memberships for first-time users. Just use the promo code: flphils1, when signing up.
