What you can confirm before accepting a freelance job
Employer account and job
The employer creates an account and can publish a public or private job or invite a talent directly.
The job sets out the expected outcome, scope, timeline and commercial basis.
Pre-funding
Before agreed work begins, the employer pre-funds it through Stripe.
Employers pay upfront through Stripe, using a valid payment method.
Your decision
Review the job, communicate directly with the employer and decide whether the scope, timing, rate and working arrangement are right for you.
Acceptance of a job remains the talent’s decision.
What stays your decision
The platform provides the collaboration and payment process. It does not replace your own judgement about the employer or job.
What the platform process does not confirm
- That an employer is right for you
- That every job is suitable for your expertise or professional direction
- That the employer’s requirements are complete or appropriate
- That the collaboration will meet your expectations
Review the job and employer information available before you accept the work.
How freelance jobs are pre-funded
The employer pays upfront through Stripe, using a valid payment method.
Funds are held within the Stripe payment flow until release, and the employer releases payment after confirming the agreed work is complete. For larger jobs, the employer can decide to split the work into several projects. The full sequence, including project pre-funding and payment release, is on How it works.
How it works
User due diligence
If you do the work
- Read and understand the job before accepting it
- Check that the work matches your experience and availability

- Ask questions when information about the job or employer is unclear
If you are hiring
- Read the talent profile for evidence relevant to the job
