Tips for creating your profile
Here we give you all the advice so that you can easily complete and/or modify your profile.

Your description
The description must be at least 200 characters.
The layout of your description in Malt is not exactly the same as on other platforms.
To be able to put the text in bold, you have 2 possibilities:
you can insert text between two asterisks: ** BOLD **
or insert it between 2 underscores: __ BOLD __
To add text in italics, you must put a special character on each side of the text:
you can do it * Like this *
or _ then_
Once the relationship between the freelance expert and the client is established, our platform allows direct contact through our messaging tool so it is not possible to share contact details in your profile description. This avoids SPAM and makes it possible to keep the first exchanges on the platform in the event of a possible dispute.
However, once contact has been established with the customer via the platform, you can communicate your contact details (Skype, telephone number, email, etc.) to facilitate your exchanges.
We even encourage you to meet the client!

Location and workplace preference
At the client site or remotely? All day or only half day?
This variable is very important for companies, because it allows them to understand which projects they should contact you for. In addition, when your profile is recommended by the Malt team, it helps us to understand your availability and mobility possibilities.
You can therefore indicate that you can work remotely or that you can travel to the client's offices.
For those profiles that are visible in the search engine*, it is possible to add up to 5 cities within their location; this will optimize their appearance in the results. Choose only cities that you can actually visit on a regular basis.
The cities you can enter must be in the same country or near your primary location. You can also set a radius around a city between 10 and 50 km.

How to complete your expertise ?
This section allows you to showcase your expertise to potential clients. It consists of:
Skills: These are functional skills, technical skills (tools, technologies, and methodologies) as well as deliverables.
Industry Expertise: This refers to the industry sectors in which you have developed expertise through your previous professional experience and/or studies.
To receive project opportunities: you must add at least 4 areas of expertise to be visible in the Malt search engine and 7 areas of expertise for Malt Plus, our matching solution.
You can link your certifications to your skills. By completing the "Certifications" section, your skills will be linked to the certifications you entered.
Your skills can also be recommended. Your clients/collaborators can access your profile and recommend your skills by clicking on the small "+" symbol that appears next to each skill.
Skills ratings no longer exist. They were removed due to the lack of transparency for clients. Instead, you can highlight your expertise with the "Top Skills" feature.

Your daily rate
The minimum fee for your profile to be visible on Malt is €100.
The first thing you should know is that this daily rate is indicative, it is a natural filter to enhance your work and position yourself for the type of project you are looking for.
The second thing is that it gives the client an idea of the budget they need to work with you, but this can be adjusted at budget time because depending on the project, its size and the workload, the price may vary.
Moreover, nothing also prevents you from adding more details in the description of your profile.
When establishing this rate, you will need to consider factors such as area of specialization, years of experience, and of course availability.

How to choose the right category?
When creating your freelance profile in Malt, you must reference yourself in at least 1 category and 1 job in that category. However, if you exercise another category of profession completely different from the first, you will have to create a second account with another email address.

Create multiple profiles in Malt?
You can create several profiles in Malt. Each account must be associated with a different e-mail address.
At Malt, we advise against creating two different profiles on the marketplace unless you have two very different activities, for example if you are a developer and a graphic designer.
Your referrals and accumulated earnings will then be divided between several profiles.
If you have two very different independent activities, we advise you to create two separate accounts, taking care to upload the documents related to your activity(ies).
We will not be able to merge your notes and projects between your two profiles.
