verification interview - very professional

Hace unos días tuve mi entrevista de verificación de perfil con Freelancer y la experiencia fue muy positiva. Me sorprendió gratamente que el entrevistador se tomó el tiempo de hacerme preguntas muy específicas sobre el puesto de trabajo que había desempeñado en mi empleo anterior.
Este nivel de detalle demuestra que se toman en serio el proceso de verificación y valoran la autenticidad de los perfiles en su plataforma. La entrevista fue profesional y me hizo sentir que mi experiencia laboral era realmente valorada.

I had my profile verification interview with Freelancer a few days ago and the experience was very positive. I was pleasantly surprised that the interviewer took the time to ask me very specific questions about the job position I had held in my previous employment.

The procedures on Freelancer are clear. Also I have decided to get verified to be able to apply to openings which are better paid, and the verification process was smoother compared to other platforms. I have been in contact with several recruiters all very friendly and helpful. Also Barry who interviewed me for the verification was very professional and kind. I do recommend.

Desidero raccontarReclamo formale per sospensione ingiustificata dell’account e addebiti non autorizzatie la mia esperienza…

Desidero raccontare la mia esperienza con Freelancer per la massima trasparenza verso altri utenti.

Abbiamo ricevuto una comunicazione da parte della piattaforma in cui ci veniva contestata una presunta violazione delle regole, con la sospensione dell’account e l’addebito di un importo, senza alcuna prova concreta e senza che fosse mai avvenuta alcuna comunicazione o transazione al di fuori della piattaforma.

Abbiamo chiesto chiarimenti, evidenze e la base legale su cui si fonda tale addebito, ma non abbiamo mai ricevuto alcuna risposta puntuale. Nel frattempo, l’account è rimasto bloccato, impedendoci di completare diversi progetti attivi con professionisti con cui stavamo collaborando regolarmente. Non avendo i loro contatti diretti, ci troviamo completamente impossibilitati a proseguire i lavori.

A peggiorare la situazione, la piattaforma ha prelevato somme dalla nostra carta di credito senza alcuna autorizzazione, comportamento che riteniamo gravissimo e inaccettabile.

A questo punto abbiamo incaricato uno studio legale di intervenire, poiché la situazione è diventata insostenibile: ci sono collaborazioni in corso, fondi trattenuti senza motivo e nessun canale effettivo per risolvere il problema.

Troviamo tutto ciò ingiustificato, scorretto e dannoso, sia per noi che per i freelancer coinvolti, e una gestione del genere mina la fiducia verso l’intera piattaforma.

English Version

I would like to share my experience with Freelancer for the sake of full transparency towards other users.

We received a communication from the platform accusing us of an alleged violation of the rules, resulting in the suspension of our account and an unjustified charge, without any concrete evidence and without having ever conducted any communication or transaction outside the platform.

We have repeatedly requested clarification, documentation, and the legal basis for such a charge, but no clear or detailed response has ever been provided. Meanwhile, our account remains blocked, preventing us from completing several active collaborations with professionals we were working with correctly through the platform. Since we do not have their direct contact information, we are completely unable to continue the projects.

To make matters worse, the platform has withdrawn funds from our credit card without any authorization, which we consider extremely serious and unacceptable.

At this stage, we have engaged a law firm to intervene, as the situation has become untenable: active collaborations are blocked, funds have been retained without justification, and there is no effective way to communicate or resolve the issue.

We consider this conduct unjustified, unfair, and damaging, both for us and for the freelancers involved. Such management severely undermines trust in the entire platform.

Chargeback

I liked it that there was a response quickly, though my issue hasn't been completely resolved, but it's been investigated. Furthermore, I'll advice seriously that you should reconsider your chargeback options for clients, as with it, clients usually find a way to cheat freelancers and even get task completed for them for free. Also, chargebacks shouldn't be approved without prior confirmation from the freelancer as well, since he's another party involved in the project or the trust freelancers have in the site will be ruined.
