Does iProPal screen freelancers?

We have several measures in place to ensure iProPal is a fair and reliable marketplace. We use multiple means to verify that freelancers are who they say they are. Information is also displayed that gives you a sense of each personâ€™s skill level. In part, this includes:

Authenticating email addresses
Displaying each freelancerâ€™s Job Success score and feedback on past projects
Providing results of online skills tests

Ultimately, itâ€™s your responsibility to screen prospective freelancers to make sure their skills and experience meet the needs of your project. Custom screening questions can be included in your job post, and iProPal Messages provides chat and video conference tools for interviewing finalists.

You can evaluate freelancers by reviewing their iProPal profile. Each freelancer in our marketplace has an iProPal profile.

Built into iProPal are several methods of verifying work. On hourly contracts, you can review the Work Diary. It tracks billable time and records completed work. While the freelancer is billing you it also counts keystrokes and takes screenshots of the freelancerâ€™s screen (six times per hour), so you can verify billable hours. On fixed-price jobs, you and your freelancer agree on milestones for each project. When your freelancer reaches a milestone, you review the work and release funds when the work is approved.

We also include iProPal Messages so you can chat and share files with your freelancer.
