In 2009, our founder Matt Barrie recognized that the way work was done was fundamentally changing. The traditional employment model - with its geographic constraints and limited talent pools - was failing to meet the needs of businesses and workers in an increasingly digital world. He envisioned a platform that could connect anyone, anywhere, with the skills they needed, regardless of location. Thus Freelancer.com was born, starting with the acquisition of several early freelance marketplaces and growing into what it is today.
What began as a bold idea has evolved into the world's largest freelancing and crowdsourcing marketplace, connecting over 87 million employers and freelancers across 247 countries and territories. The platform facilitates work in areas spanning software development, writing, data entry, graphic design, engineering, sciences, sales and marketing, accounting, and legal services. Listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX:FLN), Freelancer.com has transformed how businesses access talent and how professionals build careers, proving that great work knows no boundaries. Thirteen-time Webby award-winning, the company continues to innovate and expand, empowering millions to turn their skills into opportunity.
