How do I post a project with AI?
On Malt, you can search for freelancers manually using keywords. You can also use AI Search as your personal staffing assistant: enter a prompt or upload your project description, and our algorithm immediately generates a shortlist of the best candidates. You then choose the profiles that best match your needs.
Freelancers typically respond within 24 hours. To identify the best matches, we need information on:
- The type of expert you are looking for (mission category, experience level, and skills).
- Project conditions (daily rate, expected duration, and work location).
- Project name and details.
Your incomplete searches are saved as drafts in the Applications or Recent searches tab. Freelancers you have pre-selected are saved, even if the displayed selection may differ from initial results.

Check the criteria
Our AI proposes profile and project criteria based on your information. You can then review and adjust them:
Freelancer profile:
- Job title: the type of expert you are looking for (e.g. "Marketing project manager").
- Experience level: the seniority level required for your project.
- Main skills: enter at least 10 skills the sought profile must have, in order of importance.
- Languages: by default, the project language, unless otherwise specified.
Project conditions:
- Daily rate: set your budget; profiles with a slightly higher rate may be included.
- Estimated duration: indicate how long the project should last.
- Desired profile availability: number of days per week desired.
- Project execution location: specific location or remote work.
- Desired start date: targets freelancers available at that time.
Review freelancers matching your project
Once your brief is validated, you will immediately see freelancers matching your criteria. Each profile card displays essential information: name, location, daily rate, and matching skills.
Use the tick on each card to add a freelancer to your selection. If no profile matches, click "Modify criteria" to adjust your brief.
Not sure? Click "Skip and make the selection for me" so our experts review your project and contact suitable freelancers.

Review the brief and send it to freelancers
Our AI drafts a detailed brief from your project description. Review and edit it if needed. Once validated, the brief is sent to the selected freelancers.
