Experience
To add the company you worked for, simply select its name from the list of options, and your experience will automatically be linked to that entity. If you wish to change the order of your experiences, you can easily drag and drop them using the three bars located on the right-hand side.
When selecting a company, make sure you choose one that includes a logo. Company logos are an important visual element on your profile, as clients often look for recognizable brands when screening freelancer profiles.
Each description must contain at least 100 characters, but we recommend aiming for around 300 characters to provide a clearer showcase of your work and impact.
Adding at least one relevant skill per experience is also essential, as it connects your expertise to the projects you’ve completed and helps improve your visibility in search results.
All experiences can be edited directly from the list on the right. Keep in mind that when you click “Save,” the changes are applied to all experiences at once. If any mandatory information is incomplete, a label will appear indicating which experience needs attention and what must be corrected before you can return to your profile.
Some experiences may include an “On Malt” badge, which indicates that the project was completed through Malt. You can add this badge by creating an experience from your project page using the card “Display your project in your profile,” or after leaving a review for your client. Once the experience form is completed, the badge will appear automatically.
If you already added the same experience manually before, you can simply delete the duplicate experience from your profile.

How to complete your expertise ?
This section allows you to showcase your expertise to potential clients. It consists of:

This limit ensures your profile remains precise and easy for clients to read. Avoid redundancy to showcase your expertise clearly.
Industry expertise: These are the sectors where you have built knowledge through your experience or education. While not used for matching or search, they help clients understand the context in which you usually operate.
Top skills: These are featured at the top of your profile and represent your core areas of expertise. Use them to highlight your main strengths to clients at a glance.
Where is the Expertise section on my profile?
Your Top skills and Industry expertise are displayed at the top of your profile to immediately show clients your main areas of strength.
The complete list of skills is now shown at the end of your profile, so clients can first see your work experiences and then dive deeper into your skillset.
Within each experience, you can now link up to 5 relevant skills, providing important context and showing how your skills were applied in real projects. Suggestions will be offered based on the skills already in your main list.

Your daily rate
The minimum daily rate for your profile to appear on Malt is €100. This rate is indicative: it helps position your profile for the right type of projects and gives clients an idea of the budget required. Final pricing can vary depending on the project, scope, and workload. When setting your daily rate, consider your expertise, experience, and availability. You can also add details in your profile description. Use the simulator to test different rates and see what you will actually earn.
To change your daily rate, go to your profile and click on your current rate to update it. Select a new daily rate, and a tooltip will show you the amount you would receive after fees.
How to choose the right category?
When creating your Malt profile, you must select at least one category and one job within it. If you also work in a completely different profession, you’ll need to create a second account with a different email address. If you choose multiple categories or jobs, you must demonstrate solid experience in each to ensure your profile is credible on Malt.
Create multiple profiles in Malt?
You can create several profiles on Malt, but each must use a different email address. We generally advise against this unless you have two very different activities (e.g., developer and graphic designer). Keep in mind that referrals and earnings will be split between your profiles, and notes or projects cannot be merged. If you do create separate accounts, upload the documents relevant to each activity.
