Working as a freelancer
Information for Freelancers
Eurocount Solutions makes the freelance market transparent for highly skilled freelance professionals who would like to come into direct contact with clients.
When you have found a client you can enter into a collaboration with EUROCOUNT SOLUTIONS.
Procedure
Each procedure begins with a personal consultation. You should get to know us and we you. There has to be mutual trust that we are the right party for your specific question. This considering that trust creates speed and commitment.
In case that you are selected by us, or the client, for the execution of an assignment we will ensure that you, prior to an assignment, are being properly informed about all the ins and outs. We do this through an acquaintance, either by phone or in person at our office. We will explain the method, the screening, the process and the contract terms.
Our way of doing business is transparent, this means we place great importance on good communication and making clear agreements. Whether it comes to agreements on rates, payments, or a first interview with the client, we attach great value to that all appointments on both sides are clearly communicated and followed. That is pleasing to everyone and ensures that we always know exactly where we stand.
A perfect match
We find it extremely important that we find the right job for our freelancers, and of course, that we find the right expertise for our customers.
We pay close attention to the “matching” process: only when we are convinced that your expertise fits well with what the customer is looking for, will we introduce you, of course, with your approval. Also, we will only introduce you once we have gone through the application with you and you are fully aware of – and accept – the customer’s expectations, pricing, conditions and any other special conditions. Often you will be asked to write a targeted motivation so you can tell the customer why the job fits you like a glove.
Transparent
We have nothing to hide.
We offer customers and freelancer full insight into contracts, margins and costs.
EuroCount Solutions exercises full disclosure regarding the rates and terms that we use, both to you as a freelancer and to the customer. When you are deployed via EuroCount Solution at any of our end customers you know exactly where you stand: you get a copy of the contract which we have with our clients and therefore you know what rate we charge our customers. We also we give full disclosure to the customer: the customer always knows what rate you get and both you and our client may therefore note that the margin we charge for our services is more than reasonable and really is in proportion to our efforts and added value.
