Find a freelancer with the power of AI

What is it?

Available from the Advanced plan.

On Malt, you can manually search for matching freelancers via the keyword search.

 

Or you can make use of your own personal staffing assistant by using AI Search. To do so, simply use a prompt or upload your project description. Based on your criteria, our algorithm provides you instantly with a shortlist of top profiles. You decide if the profiles are a match and should be contacted by the algorithm. 

The freelancers contacted generally respond to you in less than 24 hours. 

To find the best matching profiles, we need to know: 

  • The type of expert you are looking for, incl. Job category, experience level, and skills 

  • Project conditions, incl. Daily rate, estimated duration, work location

  • Project details: name of the project 

Enter a prompt or upload a job description

Start the creation of your project briefing by entering a prompt or uploading a PDF of your job description. 

You can find templates of prompts under the search bar. Click on one and adapt it to your project.

Review criteria

Our algorithm determines profile and project criteria based on the information that you provided. Now it’s your turn to review the criteria:



Freelancer Profile

  • Job category: We determine a business domain based on the project description you have provided. You can review here the domain and choose from the professions we have attributed to those domains.  

  • Experience Level : The level of seniority required for your project.

  • Skills: Enter up to 10 skills that the desired profile should have, in their order of importance. Our algorithm will offer you a list of skills, but you will always have the option to enter others manually.

  • Languages: If you do not enter information, the algorithm will use the language in which you publish the project as the default language.


Project conditions 

  • Daily rate: What’s the daily budget for the project? Profiles with slightly higher rates may be included in the results.   

  • Estimated duration: How many days, weeks or months is the project? 

  • Expected number of days per week: How many days will the freelancer work per week?

  • Work location: If you indicate a location, we will display freelancers who live in that location or who can travel there. If you are looking for remote freelancers, the freelancer’s location will not be considered in the results. 

  • Preferred start date: The more information you share with us, the better we can match you with relevant freelancers. Indicating an (approximate) start date will match you with freelancers that are available for this date. 

Review freelancers that match your project description

After reviewing your project briefing, you are instantly provided with freelancers who match your criteria. The profile cards depict the most important information: name, location, daily rate and matching skills. Click on a card to view the freelancer’s full profile.

Use the check mark at the bottom of each profile card to add this profile to your selection.

You can also just contact the freelancers that you have selected.

Based on your project description, our AI has drafted a detailed brief which will be sent to freelancers. Now you can review and edit it as you need. If you prefer, you can keep your original brief.
