Project Upgrades (optional) - Attract more (or unique) bids, preserve your confidentiality, and save money hiring full-time or on commission!

Featured Project $29.00 NZD. Attract higher quality bids by getting your project listed prominently on the home page
NDA Project $25.00 NZD. Freelancers must digitally sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement before bidding on your project, agreeing to keep private messages and files confidential.
Urgent Project $9.00 NZD. Skip the admin queue and list your project immediately, receiving a faster response from Freelancers to help get your project started within 24 hours!
Private Project $19.00 NZD. Protect your confidentiality by hiding your project details from search engines and anyone who is not logged in.
Sealed Project $9.00 NZD. You're guaranteed unique bids because bidders can't see each other's bids. Only you can, and this may result in lower bids.
Fulltime Project $199.00 NZD. This type of project is for hiring a full time or commission-based position (e.g. Sales) and you will save money if you have ongoing work. Fees are only charged on payments if the project value exceeds $5800 NZD
