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.
- 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.
- Policy differs per freelancer; platform-level support is generic.
- Pricing clarity
- 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.
