Keep 100% of what you earn

Apply for unlimited jobs. Pay nothing until you're invited.

Other marketplaces take around 10% of every invoice and charge you to bid. On Olancers, applications are free and you pay just $2.99 per interview invite. Not per application.

Your wallet, explained

Top up to $30 and the job board opens. Each interview invite takes $2.99. When your balance reaches $6, top back up to $30 to keep seeing jobs.

Every applicant has credit in place, so clients know applications are genuine. That's why they invite more people.

Questions from freelancers

Is applying really free?

Yes. Apply to as many jobs as you like, free. You only pay when a company contacts you.

When exactly am I charged $2.99?

Only when a company contacts you. The only way a company can message you is by inviting you to interview, so the moment they message you, that is your interview invite and $2.99 is taken from your wallet. If no company ever contacts you, you are never charged.

Does a message count as an interview even if it's just a question?

Yes. Any contact from a company counts as an interview, because that's when the conversation starts. Companies are asked to confirm they're genuinely interested before they invite you, and they see that you pay for it.

What do companies see before they interview me?

Your first name and initial, country, skills, rate, your work samples (screenshots and results) and your "About you" text with any contact details hidden. Add work samples to your profile to show what you can do.

What happens when a company invites me to interview?

Your whole profile opens up to that company: your full name, email, phone, website, LinkedIn, portfolio links and your "About you" text as written. Their company name and contact details open up to you. From then on it's between you: carry on in Olancers messages or by email, phone or video.

Can I put my email, phone number or website in my application?

No. Applications can't contain links, email addresses, phone numbers, social handles or requests to talk elsewhere. Add your contact details to your profile instead: they're shown automatically to any company that invites you to interview.

How do I get paid?

Directly by the company. Olancers takes no commission and isn't involved once you're talking. We recommend Wise or PayPal, so make sure you have an account: open a free Wise account.

What if a job asks me to fill in a Google Form or apply on another website?

It shouldn't: jobs can't include links or requests to apply elsewhere, and we check every job as it's written. If you see one, report it to us and apply here as normal.

Can a job change after I apply?

No. Once a job has its first application it's locked, so you always know exactly what you applied for.

Do you take a percentage of my earnings?

Never. Whatever you agree with your client is what you get paid.

Why do I need $30 in my wallet?

It opens the job board and covers 10 interview invites. It also keeps applications genuine, which companies value.

What happens when my balance drops below $6?

Your automatic top-up runs, using the card and amount you chose. If it fails, your account pauses until you top up.
