| How does Bid4job work ? |
Bid4job is a Services Marketplace. IT Employers / Buyers
can find talent to do their projects or to fill part-time
positions. We charge a low cost from Buyers. IT Employers
/ Buyers simply post the job as a project. Freelancers/Service
Providers who wish to do the project place bids, indicating
the asking price for completing the project. At the end
of the bidding, Buyer can award the project to any Freelancers/Service
Provider who bids for the project. Employers / Buyers are
allowed to contact the Freelancers/Service Provider before
awarding the project through Private Message or email (the
email addresses of the Service Providers can be seen only
by the Buyer). |
