I applied through other source. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Freelancer (Londen, Engeland) in Jul 2016
Interview
For reference I was studying my master in InfoSecurity when I accepted to join Freelancer.
After being contacted via Linkedin by the director of people and talent at Freelancer, Joe Griston, we had a chat about the company and myself, what I had done and what I wanted to do etc. Following the phone call we agreed on a date in which to come into the office for an interview.
The interview involved meeting London's project manager and an engineering team lead, we talked for a while and then an exam of sorts, basically to find out what you know and how you figure out problems. The questions were not difficult but they were varied. After the test the engineering team lead went through the questions with me, discussing them as we went.
The next day I got a call with an offer and I gladly accepted as the team seemed like people you would love to work with, and they are. #teamlondon!
I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Freelancer (Frankfurt (Oder)) in May 2016
Interview
No interview as you begin to work yourself. Whatever you like to do or are good at doing, you begin a blog or other social media advertisement method and set up your freelance service. You always start small but after a while it is a good idea to (Depending on how much you are earning) to rent a little office and register your company to develop your brand further. It takes time but if you are really passionate at whatever your are trying to do it will turn around.
I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Freelancer (Los Angeles, CA) in Jul 2016
Interview
Being hired at freelancer takes about 2 - 3 hrs after applying for a job(if you were lucky)
The clients ask you questions regarding the project and how you will tackle it. If you fail to convince the client that you are fit to work for them then you are ruled out.
Some 'bad' clients approach you to discuss job and then disappear for days, leaving you hanging.
This has happened to me a couple of times.
