[QUOTE="Morrus, post: 3556184, member: 1"] Glad you like it! The basic idea is this: Publishers and freelancers have their own profiles and feedback scores/comments. A freelancer's profile shows all the work he or she has done, forming an automatic "portfolio". Publishers post jobs, filling in fields for all details of the job, and an expiry date. Interested freelancers, with a single button click, "apply" for the job (just like bidding on eBay). When the time limit set by the publisher expires, they review the profiles of the freelancers who have applied, and pick one. The system tells the successful freelancer that he has been chosen, and tells the others that they have not. At this point, a valid contract is created. Both parties are bound by it. Both publisher and freelancer are able to leave feedback for the other, which becomes part of their permanent profile. So - freelancers who are habitually late, publishers who are unreliable at paying up, freelancers who drop out a lot, and so on, can't hide the fact. The likelihood, of course, is that they'll be worried about their feedback scores, and so won't do these things. [/QUOTE]
