Freelancer.com

Freelancer is undoubtedly one of the most popular freelance websites, with millions of people joining the site throughout the years. With the vast user base comes a larger issue, which has been at the forefront of Freelancer's decline in popularity. Freelancer claims to have a database of over 7 million members, which is impressive, to say the least. While this used to be a great plus, the lack of control Freelancer has over spam candidates and posts has made it a major issue for the company.

The old adage "quality over quantity" certainly applies here, since you can easily become lost in a minefield of low-quality posts and tons of low-quality applicants bidding on your projects. If you don't mind receiving hundreds of applicants and astonishingly low charges, Freelancer won't bother you, but for those looking for a clearer picture, Freelancer is a problem. Freelancers and employers can be found all over the world, but the current Asian invasion of the freelancing sector has overwhelmed Freelancer the most.

The remaining 10% of applicants would be the limited highly qualified professionals from the Old World and the United States who have been working via Freelancer since its inception and are unwilling to abandon the sinking ship. They have the highest level premium account and all the badges accessible on Freelancer, but in most cases, companies choose to hire less experienced workers who are less expensive. Scams and frauds have recently become a problem for Freelancers. If you employ a competent freelancer, make sure you have a senior developer or an editor on hand to make the very unavoidable modifications.
