Post a project
What is it?
Available from the Advanced plan.
On Malt, you can directly search and contact a freelancer via the search bar. You can also submit a project via our Malt Plus solution, so that Malt contacts the freelancers best suited to the project for you via our algorithm. The freelancers contacted generally respond to you in less than 24 hours. To help our algorithm contact the best profiles, you must provide the details of your project:
The type of expert you are looking for
Project conditions
Project details: The name of the project and a detailed description of its scope and tasks.
Publish a project on Malt
Start the creation of your project briefing by clicking the Post a project option in your account's homepage or in the top bar.
Save time and create your project with our AI briefing builder, or create it step-by-step manually.
Before submitting your project on Malt, you can save the proposal as a draft.
You can resume the process and continue by clicking on the Applications option in the side navigation bar. In the Process Applications, you will find your drafted projects.
Create a briefing with AI
There are two options to generate a project briefing with the AI brief builder:
Upload an existing job description by PDF: The briefing is generated based on the information provided in your PDF
or
Enter text in the free text field: Paste the text of an existing job description, or write a short line about the type of freelancer you're looking for.
On the basis of your input, the AI brief builder generates a briefing description. You only have to review and confirm it!
Describe the type of expert you are looking for
Whether you use the AI brief builder or create the project manually: providing us with the following information is essential to help our algorithm refine the search and contact the most relevant profiles for you.
Please indicate:
The job title : the type of expert you are looking for. For example: “Marketing project manager”
Job category : We will offer you the most common categories related to the job title you have entered. If you can't find the right category, you can always enter a new one manually by clicking "Choose from other categories".
Experience Level : The level of seniority required for your project.
Main skills : Enter at least 4 skills that the desired profile must absolutely possess, 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.
Indicate the conditions of execution of your project
Estimated Project Duration and Start : Indicate the duration of the project and the date it is expected to begin. Desired availability of the profile : Number of days per week desired. This information is important because several independents have partial availability
Approximate daily rate : Based on the information you have provided, we will offer you an approximate daily rate. You can always change this price. Don't forget that depending on the details and conditions of the project detailed together, the profiles contacted may be required to adapt their daily rate.
Project location : Whether the project requires the freelancer to come to your office or if they are allowed to do the work remotely. Note that remote projects are generally more attractive to our community and therefore receive more applications.
Once this step is completed, you will be able to see on the right side of the panel the estimated budget for your project excluding taxes, including Malt's service fees.
