Freelancer Guidelines

👤 1. Profile & Skills Accuracy

Your skill profile is how FidoConnect matches you with suitable client briefs. Maintaining accurate data is mandatory:

• Truthful Information: Provide only genuine information regarding your experience, skills, and past work.
• Select Real Capabilities: Only check service categories and tools you actively know and have executed before.
• No Exaggerations: Do not claim proficiencies or experience levels you do not possess.
• Keep Profiles Updated: Update your bio, categories, and contact details as your skillset evolves.

📋 2. Project Applications & Proposals

Applications are reviewed directly by agency coordinators. To maintain efficiency and fairness:

• Skill-Matched Applications Only: Apply only for projects that match your verified skill categories.
• Respect Plan Limits: Adhere to the concurrent application limit permitted by your active membership tier. Do not attempt to bypass plan limits.
• Read Before Applying: Review client requirements, deliverables, budget, and deadlines thoroughly before submitting a proposal.
• No Generic Spam: Write concise, tailored proposal notes explaining how you plan to complete the specific task. Avoid repetitive copy-paste text.

⚡ 3. Work Quality & Deadlines

When you are assigned to a project, the client and agency rely on your professional execution:

• Professional Standards: Complete all work to a clean, production-ready standard without bugs, broken layouts, or formatting errors.
• Follow Specifications: Adhere strictly to the agreed brief, required features, and deliverables.
• Meet Agreed Deadlines: Submit work on or before the committed timeframe.
• Proactive Communication: If a technical issue, blocker, or unexpected delay occurs, notify the coordinator or client immediately.
• Zero Disappearance Tolerance: Never abandon an accepted project or stop responding after assignment. Disappearing results in permanent account suspension.

🛡️ 4. Originality & Licensing

Respect for intellectual property is essential to building trust:

• No Plagiarism or Stolen Work: Never submit copied, stolen, or pirated code, designs, or text.
• Authentic Portfolio: Never present work created by others as your own creation.
