Freelancer Assignment is Here!
For far too long, Ziptask was only accessible by its customers and project managers. The freelancers we've brought into projects had been outside of the application and asked to take a step of faith as they engage on projects. Today we released a much-awaited piece of functionality that allows project managers to assign freelancers into Ziptask projects. It’s living up to the hype of being a truly “3-sided” outsourcing system: customers, project managers, and independent freelance professionals.
Below demonstrates a quick screenshot of what a project manager sees when the invited freelancer to a project. They would have already interacted/interviewed/screened the freelancer in other areas of the web app or through Skype/Google Hangouts. This is simply the assignment piece that connects the freelancer into the web app, and allows the freelancer to see everything the project manager sees.
Project managers simply click 'assign' and enter in the existing or new freelancer, select the role they'd play on the project, and after confirming the rate or customizing the offer, they perform the 'invite'.
The freelancer receives an email, and is able to review and accept the project assignment.
Stay tuned for more updates.
