As job losses continue to escalate, freelancing is becoming an attractive option for displaced talent. While websites like Pittsburgh-based Guru.com make services contracting safe and viable, the public remains largely uneducated about core differences between freelance services sites. Guru.com just released a site improvement that could fundamentally shift the employment landscape.
Guru.com, a Pittsburgh Technology Council Tech 50 Winner and Finalist, took the wraps off a Quality Score Ranking, which measures freelance services on the basis of Customer Acquisition, Earnings and Retention in lieu of total earnings (size) or subjective feedback. With this system:
· Top quality freelance performance, instead of larger size, is rewarded with a higher rank;
· The rank becomes a more accurate index / indicator of the quality of work an employer can expect to receive; and
· Individual freelancers can now truly compete with larger vendors that may be of lesser quality.
Read more about it and see how you can put your talent and skills into the freelance market.
