SkillBid is a two-sided freelance marketplace built to help clients find the right specialist and help freelancers find serious work. Clients can post a job, review relevant proposals, agree on scope and milestones, fund the contract, receive the work, and release payment in one connected workflow.

Yes. On each of a new client's first three eligible jobs, SkillBid covers 40% of the agreed job price. The client funds the remaining 60%, while the freelancer is paid against the full agreed contract value after the work is approved and payment is released. When the benefit applies, the contribution is shown clearly before the contract is funded.

SkillBid keeps payment connected to the contract and the work being delivered. Clients fund the agreed contract or milestone before release, freelancers submit work against that agreement, and payment is released when the client approves the completed work. This creates a clear record of scope, funding, delivery, and approval.

Yes. Milestones let a larger project be divided into clear delivery points with their own expectations, timing, and payment. They make progress easier to review and give both the client and freelancer a shared view of what is due next.

Clients can compare a freelancer's skills, profile, proposal, relevant experience, reviews, and work history before hiring. SkillBid is designed to keep those signals close to the job requirements so clients can make a decision based on fit rather than noise.

The contract, milestones, messages, submissions, and payment history provide a record of what was agreed and what was delivered. If the client and freelancer cannot resolve an issue directly, SkillBid's dispute process can be used to review the contract and the available evidence before the matter is resolved.

From time to time, eligible clients may be offered or allowed to apply for additional SkillBid-funded promotional bonuses based on their account and completed work history. These bonuses are not guaranteed and, when available, the eligibility and amount are shown in SkillBid before they are applied.

Completed contracts build a clearer record for both sides of the marketplace. Freelancers can demonstrate reliable delivery and relevant experience, while clients can build a stronger hiring history. That history helps future matches start with better context and more confidence.
