They are a new company that got up and running this year and already has 25,000+ providers signed up. They run on a system very similar to Elance. You list your services and you can wait for people to find you or you can bid on projects. They seem to lean more towards buyers seeking out service providers and if they can't find any then they can open a project and wait for bids to come in.

When a client adds a project they select how many bids they wish to receive usually 5 although can vary. Writers are charges a small fee to contact the client and enter negotiations with them, usually between 1 and £2. This fee increases each time someone bids so it's an advantage to be quick and be the first to bid.

This is the only fee you pay however there is no guarantee that the client will choose you or even any of the writers who bid.

There may also be a charge if fees are escrowed and the project is completed through the site, though once you have paid to contact the client the payments can be done offsite to avoid this fee though you will not be able to rate each other or have the security of escrowing funds.

You can see the ratings of the client (if they have been previously rated) and profiles and ratings of competitors who bid on the same project as you but not the details of there own negotiations with the client.

Go for projects with the fewest number of competitors, get in early to get the lowest fee and make sure the client has a rating as they are most likely to follow through and actually employ someone. Avoid projects which ask for quotes or provide limited or sketchy information. This will give you the best possible chance of making a success of this site.
