To me, easystaff connect is one of the safest and most straightforward freelance platforms I have ever tried. it may not be the most popular one but I believe that they will become a lot more recognizable. They don't have ratings. I mean, freelancers do get rated by customers but this rating does not affect my chances of getting a task/project. This it to my mind extremely valuable given how other platforms tend to give too much weight to such ratings. So, in practice it means that new freelancers simply do not have any chances against those who have been with the platform longer. I had an argument with a customer and I was in shock, in the best meaning of this word by how easystaff customer support stood up for me. I honestly was prepared to lose money despite having worked on the project. But someone did step in and I was paid for my time eventually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For me personally the way they let freelancers showcase their work is not quite suitable. What I mean is that I am an HR/recruiter for executive roles, and my cases can't really be presented as small image or 1mb file, as users are asked to post on their profiles. So, I feel like something has to be done about how different experts from different industries showcase their projects. But the good thing is I am allowed to post a link to my linkedin or other profiles, so customers can reach out to me personally to find out more about my cases. By the way, I feel like being able to leave my contact details within the platform only shows that the platform trusts its freelancers, which again is valuable and quite rare.
