In a move designed to streamline the job search process for freelancers, Freelance job board WorkHoppers has announced its upcoming merger with Freelance.Jobs.
Freelance.Jobs is a popular marketplace platform that connects freelancers with exciting new projects. The decision to merge stems from WorkHoppers’ 2024 user survey, which revealed a strong demand for a one-stop shop for freelance projects.
The story of Freelance.Jobs began in Germany on April 19, 2007, with the launch of freelance.de. The platform quickly rose to prominence, becoming Germany’s leading digital hub for freelancers and businesses. This success fueled Freelance.Jobs’ expansion into other countries, forming the international network we know today.
A Smoother Workflow for Freelancers
The merger, which is scheduled for March 28, 2025, will create a unified platform offering a wider range of opportunities for freelancers. While WorkHopper users can continue using their existing accounts until the transition, they are encouraged to create new accounts on the Freelance.Jobs platform to take full advantage of its features, including:
- Advanced Search Filters: Save valuable time by filtering projects based on specific criteria to find the perfect fit for your skills and experience.
- Project Owner Insights: Gain valuable insights into project owners, allowing you to make informed decisions about which opportunities to pursue.
- Unlimited Applications: Submit applications to as many projects as you like to maximize your chances of landing your dream freelance gig.
- International Project Access: Broaden your horizons and apply for projects from all over the world.
A Sign of the Times: The Rise of .JOBS
The decision to merge on the new .JOBS top-level domain (TLD) underscores the growing importance of online job boards in today’s freelance economy.
Beyond its primary .JOBS domain catering to the US market, Freelance.Jobs caters to international audiences with localized platforms like freelance.de for Germany, freelance.co.uk for the UK, freelance.cz for Czechia, Freelance.ca for Canada, freelance.pl for Poland, and Freelance.ro for Romania.
This merger signals a positive step forward for both platforms and creates a more efficient and user-friendly experience for freelancers everywhere.
Correction: The platform’s origin is German, and it offers additional localized domain portals.
