Why we don’t use a bidding marketplace

Our direct assignment model removes the slow bidding phase and the quality roulette. You get a vetted CIPD-savvy writer, clear milestones, and privacy by default.

Our model
Bidding marketplaces
Getting started
Brief → instant price → matched to a CIPD-savvy writer (no bidding).
Post a job → wait for bids → evaluate profiles → pick one.
Writer selection
Public writer directory + pick-your-writer option; we ensure fit behind the scenes.
You compare many bids; quality varies by vendor and price.
Speed to first draft
Starts as soon as payment clears; milestones shared up front.
Timeline slips while bids arrive and questions repeat across bidders.
Quality assurance
Narrow roster with CIPD focus; internal review and clear milestones.
Open platform variability; QA depends on each freelancer.
Privacy
Direct, private thread. Files aren’t broadcast to a marketplace.
Brief can be visible to many bidders (and cached in inboxes).
Revisions & support
Guided revisions window; structured feedback loops.

Transparent, GBP-anchored pricing before work begins.
Bid ranges, add-ons, and scope creep are common.
Dispute handling
Resolution path with extend-deadline or partial-refund options where fair.
Escrow/third-party mediation varies; outcomes inconsistent.
