registered users
New York/Sydney, September 27st 2009: GetAFreelancer.com, the world's top freelance job
micro-outsourcing marketplace, today announced that its user base had passed one million
registered users.
"This is an historic occasion for the company", said Matt Barrie, Chief Executive of
GetAFreelancer.com. "We're experiencing phenomenal growth, and we are proud to have
facilitated employment to so many users from around the world. GetAFreelancer now has such a
rich and diverse talent pool, that for just about any service you can think of, it's highly likely that
you'll be able to quickly and cost effectively hire someone to fulfill it."
"From the feedback we've got from our users, it's clear that GetAFreelancer is also changing lives.
It provides a platform for people to start and run a business from anywhere in the world."
Irina Tischenko from Blue Bird Infotech in Vinnitsa, Ukraine said "In 2006 I was doing nothing,
rejected from all jobs. After two months of research on net suddenly I [found] GetAFreelancer and
registered and within three years now I have everything I ever wished for myself, I got married,
have my own house and everything is going great. Thank you very very much".
Through GetAFreelancer, employers can hire freelancers to do work in areas such as software,
writing, data entry and design right through to engineering and the sciences, sales and marketing,
and accounting & legal services. GetAFreelancer is the leader in the micro-outsourcing market,
with the average job size being under $200. This is extremely cost effective for small businesses,
which need all sorts of jobs to be done from time to time, but can't justify the cost of hiring full time.
Whether it is something as simple as designing business cards or a website, through to more
complex jobs, GetAFreelancer has the talent. Some of the more recent esoteric jobs include the
design of a fully functional Dune Buggy (average bid $305), the drafting of a Luxury Hotel in the
Barbados (average bid $1762), right through to the design of three short animated 15 second
commercials (average bid $255).
Over 470,000 jobs have been posted to date, for a sum of $43 million.
