Set up your project search filters
Skills, countries, budget ranges, languages, skill match and client details: how each search filter narrows the project list you see.
What each filter does
Filters decide which open Freelancer.com projects appear in your search results. They never contact anyone and never place a bid. Set them under Settings.
| Filter | What it does |
|---|---|
| Skills | Which of your profile's skills are used to find projects. |
| Skill match | How many of a project's skills must match yours, so you only see work you can deliver. |
| Budget and project type | Fixed-price or hourly, and the budget ranges you want to see. |
| Countries | Show projects only from clients in the countries you choose. |
| Languages | Show projects written in the languages you work in. |
| Client details | Simple yes/no filters on details Freelancer.com shows with each project, such as a verified payment method. They hide projects from your list; nothing scores or rates the client. |
Tips
- Start broad, then narrow. Too many filters can hide good projects.
- If your Freelancer.com bid allowance is small, tighter filters help you spend it on better fits. See bid limits.
- Read choosing client filters on Freelancer.com for which details are worth filtering on.
