I came across JobRack a couple of weeks ago and have been checking it out before sharing on here.
It’s like Upwork in that you can hire and get hired for freelance and remote jobs, but with a few key differences:
- You can only join as a “jobseeker” if you’re from Eastern Europe.
- There are no fees for jobseekers.
- Employers pay a one-time fee for each job post.
- The focus is on long-term engagements rather than one-time projects.
- JobRack has great reviews on Facebook and lots of upvotes on Product Hunt.
Via email, I asked the folks at JobRack what the competition is like for freelancers on the site.
Their response:
On average we have around 20-25 applicants on the job post. It all differs from job to job, but we always work our best for our employers to find them exactly what they are looking for. It’s not just that employers post the job and we wait until job seekers apply for them. We dedicate time to each and every job post to understand what the employer needs, and after that, we do our best to find him someone like that.
Give JobRack a look if you’re from Eastern Europe or looking to hire some good help.
