We help you collaborate with other brilliant freelancers

We organize roundtables to let you exchange with your peers

When clients go through a talent search on our platform, we help them find collaborators based on what really matters: the work that freelancers have done. Based on input about their industry, company stage and goals, clients receive targeted recommendations and case studies that match their requirements.
In this way, we make sure that the connection that happens between clients and freelancers is a great fit - we don't want you to waste your time on interviews and communication for projects that don't lead anywhere.
In order to be presented as frequently as possible with opportunities on Advisable, we recommend you to send even more than one case study.
When you are matched with a client, you will receive an email invitation to schedule an interview with them, with other relevant project information that the client has provided in their outreach. We will instruct you on all the steps that follow as well as offer you an onboarding call with our team when you receive your first interview invitation.
On this call, you can find out more about best interview practices on our platform, what to expect after the interview and how to navigate the platform and the project in a neat and easy-going way. We highly recommend to jump on that call with us!
Advisable applies a shared fee structure between you and your clients once you start working together via the platform. You cover a Sourcing Fee of 8% of the amount that you are earning from a project.
When clients pay you through the platform, you agree to pay 8% of that payment and of all subsequent payments for that project to Advisable. When discussing the budget with your clients on the interviews, take into consideration this 8% fee.
It is a flat fee, meaning it is applied during the entire project no matter the total project worth.
As part of our commitment to the clients, Advisable offers an 8 hour risk-free trial for all projects launched on the platform: if the client is not satisfied with the work you delivered for a specific reason, then we have your back and reimburse for the work you did in those 8 hours.
You can define a task of up to 8 hours inside your Proposal sent out via the platform and flag the task as "Trial Task". You are not obliged to offer a Trial Task, but we highly encourage you to do it.
Should both you and the client wish to proceed after being matched and having a consultation (you can arrange more calls with the client if needed), you can agree to the main terms of your collaboration via our Agreement step - you’ll create and send a simple proposal that includes the Collaboration Type that suits both of you (Fixed or Hourly Rate) as well as the Payments Model suggestion.
The client will have the option to accept the proposal (which marks the start of your project), request edits if needed or decline it if they don’t wish to collaborate.
Advisable has in place a simple payments system that allows freelancers to request payments from clients for their work. At the beginning of each collaboration, you and the client agree to one of the Payments Models in place:
- After completion of work - the freelancer requests payment after work has been completed and approved by the client
- 50% upfront - the freelancer requests payment upfront upon starting to work, and the remaining 50% upon completing the work
- Recurring - the freelancer requests payment on a recurring basis since their work follows a repetitive pattern
- Flexible - the client and freelancer define their own payment terms

When a specialist sends you a payment request, you will receive an email notification and will be able to see it on your account where you can also check its status. You can either approve the request or dispute it. In case of disputing, you are asked to input a reason for it in order for the specialist to make appropriate changes and resubmit it.
After your approval, we will proceed with capturing the payment. If this is your first payment, we will request your credit card details and save them for future requests. When the payment request is approved, we will issue an invoice via email.
Please note that there is a 5-day payment term. If the payment request has not been approved or disputed during this period, the payment will be captured automatically and the freelancer will be paid out.
