• What should I put in the "Client message" box?

  When you apply to a brief, in addition to indicating the number of days and your day rate in your quote, there's a box where you must write a message for the client. We know it's intimidating, so here are some tips, examples, suggestions, to avoid the fear of the blank box. Why is this mandatory?

• Can I speak directly with the client?

  Regarding the project, yes, of course! You have a chat tab in each brief to contact the client directly. We actually encourage direct communication early on in the process.

However, if the client contacts you directly for a new brief, you should let us know.Some readers

• Why can't I accept a mission?

  Your profile is probably incomplete. Make sure that your administrative information is accurate (correct SIRET number, documents uploaded in PDF on a single page) AND that you have signed the acracy contract (that's often where it gets blocked - we sent it to you via Yousign, if you can't find it, we can resend it to you). You can only accept briefs once your profile is complete.Few readers

• I am asked to perform a test. What is it about? Will I be paid for it? If I am asked to do a test for free, what should I do?

  It happens that the client requests a test to check the compatibility with the subject and skills of a freelancer. Usually, these are half-day tests on a practical case close to the client's brief. Of course, you will be paid for it. If the client proposes that you take a test for free, please inform us.Few readers

  It can happen. Like everyone else, it's not our preference, but sometimes clients have urgent projects. If urgent projects are a no-go for you, be sure to let us know and we won't offer them to you. On average, we have about a week between the brief being sent and the start of a project.Few readers

• If I refuse missions, will I be penalized?
