PROhq Freelancer Rank (Rating)

The rating of a freelancer on the remote work exchange is one of the most important indicators that affects the choice of the customer. On some existing freelance exchanges, the system for constructing a rating of specialists is far from objective, since feedback on the result of work is not always put up by customers: there is a joint exchange of reviews between freelancers, not to mention that reviews can be bought. As a result, customers often encounter incompetent specialists, despite the fact that the ratings of these specialists are relatively high. In turn, specialists with sufficient work experience and a high level of professionalism, but not raising their rating for money, find themselves in the lower ranks of the lists, undeservedly remaining unnoticed by employers.

Remote Work Exchange PROhqoffers its users a system for constructing an honest rating, which is based on objective indicators, including activity on the site, customer relationships and participation in published projects. Together, these criteria become a reflection of the professional and business qualities of each freelancer, which has a significant impact on the decision of employers when choosing a specialist for the project. At the same time, the contractor does not have the opportunity to raise his rating on a paid basis, respectively, the employer can easily distinguish an experienced specialist from a beginner, and there is fair competition between freelancers.

In our article, we will share secrets on how to raise your rank on PROhq.

The rating of the contractor is increased every time a specialist takes part in published projects, receives positive feedback after they are completed or paid using PROhq services. In addition, when compiling a rating, many other indicators are taken into account.

The main components of a freelancer's rank:

• Activity on the PROhq website

This indicator is indexed and updated by the PROhq exchange every week, reflecting the freelancer’s experience in using the exchange tools and its loyalty to other users. The activity on the site also includes the income of a freelancer obtained using such tools as “Safe Transaction” and “Direct Payment”, the total number of completed stages of projects published on the stock exchange and feedback received from customers. The penalties that are assigned to the user by the exchange administrator for violating the service rules described in the user agreement negatively affect the activity indicator.

One of the innovative criteria taken into account can be called the level of income of a freelancer. Legally working freelancers will eventually be able to demonstrate the size of their fees. On the one hand, this will allow us to adequately assess the level of freelancer. On the other hand, it will simplify the choice of the contractor for your project to the customer. This indicator is one of the main indicators in the developed English-speaking market, being an objective indicator of everything, and qualifications and business qualities.

• Customer relationship

This indicator is also updated every week and displays the level of quality of customer relationships and the overall level of service of a freelancer. The indicator is based on recommendations that are given by the customer to the contractor after the project. It also includes such characteristics as the average income from clients obtained using payment instruments of the exchange, the number of clients and the number of clients who contacted a specialist again.

• Marketing

It is updated weekly and reflects the quality and quantity of information about the freelancer. This takes into account the completeness of the information that is presented about the specialist on the PROhq exchange, the quality and size of the portfolio, as well as user loyalty to the anti-dumping policy of PROhq. In addition, marketing is based on indicators such as the number of specialist invitations to project candidates, the number of skills that the freelancer confirmed with the help of official documents and PROhq tests, and the number of exchange users who joined the freelance partner network.



The freelancer’s rank is displayed in his profile, where customers can get to know him by getting out of the search.


When selecting an artist for his project, the customer sees the rank of a freelancer in the project interface at the competition, where he evaluates the responses received to the project. Accordingly, the higher your rank, the more noticeable your response.

Thus, the overall rating of a freelancer, registered on the PROhq remote work exchange, is very objective and allows each employer to get the right idea about a particular specialist. In turn, the freelancer conducts a fair fight with competitors, increasing their popularity through their own positive characteristics, which gives him the opportunity to stand out in the general list of specialists and attract the attention of the customer. On PROhq, you can increase each indicator that affects the rank individually, which will not only increase the rating, but also improve the real quality of services, and this will also affect the income of the freelancer.
