New website freelance supermarket allows contractors and agents to rate each other

IR35 Test

freelancesupermarket.com is a brand new professional networking website offering contractors, recruiters, end clients, umbrella companies and accountancy service providers the chance to rate each other in real-time league tables to show who is cream of the contracting world.

See who’s hot and who’s not

Contractors can use the rating system to boost their profile and showcase their talents to a massive audience of recruiters who use the site to find ‘hot’ contractors and advertise their latest vacancies.

As well as being able to search for jobs using the online profiling system, freelancers can just sit back and wait for the job offers to come to them - freelancesupermarket.com lets recruiters know instantly when a contractor with the skills they are looking for in any given area is about to finish a job. So they can get to them before the competition does!

Facebook for Contractors

The site, fast acquiring the nickname of a ‘facebook for freelancers’ because of its addictive internal messaging system, lets busy contractors keep up with friends and colleagues and keep an eye on their ranking while they do it.

As well as helping you find jobs and show off your talents to the entire contracting world, freelancesupermarket.com also offers everything busy contractors could ever need in their working lives – from reviews of the best (and worst!) umbrellas and accountants, to up-to-the-minute industry news, take-home calculators, features and advice guides covering everything from IR35 to getting a mortgage.

Martin Smith, MD of freelancesupermarket.com says: “Our concept is completely unique. We set out on this journey two years ago, with the idea of creating the UK’s first peer rated comparison website and online community of freelance service providers, and now it’s become a reality. It embraces the full potential of web 2.0 and will revolutionise the way recruiters and contractors interact with each other. We are very excited about the reaction it has been getting. The initial interest in freelancesupermarket.com has been phenomenal.”

Contractors can use freelancesupermarket.com to:

  • Showcase their services on their free national freelance directory
  • Get feedback from recruiters and end clients to climb the contractor league tables
  • Search and apply for contract jobs online
  • Leave instant feedback on recruitment agents, agencies, umbrellas and accountants
  • Network with other users using the internal messaging system
