- What is Freelancer?
- Bidonn is an online outsourcing platform that puts employers and businesses in contact with a global network of freelancers. Any member can post a project, whether a short- or long-term job, and choose from skilled freelancers who offer bid proposals with rate quotes and time estimates for completing the work. It's a mutually beneficial arrangement.
Employers can have their pick of thousands of freelancers who have the exact skills needed to get the job done, without undertaking the expense and commitment of hiring full-time employees in person.
Bidonn can tap into a readily available source of constant part-time and full-time work opportunities from employers who are specifically seeking them out.
