Hire directly — simple, transparent agreements
Direct Contracts let you engage workers directly. Propose scope, milestones, deliverables, timeline and total compensation; use milestone payments or escrow to protect both sides. Specify acceptance criteria, revision limits and ownership of work in the contract. Keep messages and attachments in-platform to maintain a clear audit trail. Direct Contracts reduce intermediary fees, speed communication, and foster long-term working relationships. For large or ongoing engagements attach an SOW or schedule periodic reviews to align expectations. CTA: Create a Direct Contract and secure your first hire.
