Find talent faster with our new availability feature
Freelancer availability is now visible, searchable and always up to date
We’ve introduced Availability Status for all freelancers in your Directory - giving you an instant view of who’s open to new work, who’s actively looking, and who’s currently unavailable.
Each freelancer profile and Directory list now shows one of three availability states:
- Open to opportunities
- Looking for work
- Unavailable
You can filter by availability, see when a freelancer last updated their status, and prioritise outreach to those ready to start.
Designed to make sourcing faster
Whether you’re managing a large contractor pool or trying to fill a brief quickly, this feature helps you:
- Filter freelancers by availability directly from the Directory
- Save time by focusing on those actively looking or open to new roles
- See when availability was last updated for added confidence
- Reduce back-and-forth communication when sourcing
Freelancers can update their availability in just two clicks - and automated reminders ensure profiles stay accurate over time.
Faster searches for better matches
Our new availability feature brings core benefits:
1) Smarter sourcings by avoiding cold outreach to unavailable talent, reaching those who are ready to work
2) Maintain a healthy Directory with availability signals to ensure your private talent pool stays relevant and active
3) Freelancers gain more control by setting their own status and remaining discoverable
4) Real-time visibility for both clients and freelancers to reduce delays and miscommunication.
