Get What You Pay for With Network Freelance

Author: Rick Bisset


Networkfreelance.co.uk, the UK's leading online PR and Marketing freelance community, is taking the unusual step of inviting employers to pay what they feel is a fair price for the freelance professionals they recruit from the site.

Networkfreelance.co.uk is the first recruitment service where the employer decides how much, or how little to pay. The site is inviting employers who find a freelancer to leave a fair payment for the service they feel the site has delivered.

The site has a recommended scale of payment for employers. If an employer rates the service 10 out of 10 they are asked to leave £100, 5 out of 10 £50. These figures are meant purely as a guide as payment is completely discretionary. All employers are asked to fill in a survey about their experience and to leave recommendations for how to improve the service.

Richard Pendergast, networkfreelance.co.uk Director said, "We've always believed the flat fee model was fundamentally flawed and this is our way of offering a fairer alternative. We know it's a new concept so we've suggested examples to help employers decide on how much to pay.

James Birtwhistle joint Director commented, "We are asking employers to pay what they feel is a reasonable price for recruiting the freelance community members on our site. As a business we offer a unique service so we are seeking to match that offering with a payment system that is similarly unique."

Networkfreelance.co.uk has over 500 members who register for free to use the site benefitting from the online community, forum, blog, newsfeeds and other elements, including recruitment, designed to support freelance professionals.
