How to write a job post that attracts great freelancers

The quality of the bids you receive depends on the quality of your job post. A clear, specific brief tells skilled freelancers exactly what you need, and helps them decide quickly whether they are the right fit. Here is how to write one that works.

1. Start with a specific title

"Need a designer" tells a freelancer very little. "Logo and brand kit for a new coffee shop" tells them the type of work, the deliverable and the industry in one line. Specific titles attract freelancers with relevant experience and put off those without it.

2. Describe the outcome, not just the task

Explain what you want to achieve and why. A freelancer who understands the goal can suggest better ways to get there. Cover:

• What you need delivered: files, formats, number of items or pages.
• Who it is for: your customers, your team, or a specific audience.
• What good looks like: examples you like, or a style you want to avoid.
• Your deadline: and whether it is fixed or flexible.

3. Attach the files that help

Existing logos, brand colours, rough sketches, sample documents or reference links save a lot of back-and-forth. On Tewam Hire you can add files directly to your job so every freelancer sees the same information.

4. Set a budget you are comfortable with

On Tewam Hire, you decide what the job is worth. There is no price list to fit into. Think about the size of the work, the level of skill you need and your deadline. A realistic budget attracts experienced freelancers who are confident they can deliver at that level.

5. Review bids, not just prices

Freelancers unlock a job before they bid, so the bids you receive come from people who have read your brief and are serious about it. When comparing them, look at:

• Whether they explain how they will approach your job.
• Their profile, skills, verification and past reviews.
• How clearly they communicate when you message them.

6. Stay in touch while the work happens

Once you hire, use the job chat to answer questions quickly and share feedback early. Your payment is held safely while the work is in progress and is only released when you approve the final delivery, so you stay in control from start to finish.
