Are there freelance agents?

Question

Project management

Are there agents in nature who are looking for orders for freelancers, on an ongoing basis? How to find and contact such people.
For example, I have development experience, but I don’t know how or don’t want to sell and deal with organizational matters, how to find a person who will take it upon myself.

Answer 1

More often it happens that you do not hire an agent to search for orders, but there is an intermediary who hires you as a performer.
There are many of those.
If you find 3-5 adequate intermediaries, they will easily load you with work so much that you don’t have to look for orders yourself.

Answer 2

Exist.
But I'm afraid you won't like the percentage.
20-50% reach the final contractor

Answer 3

Yes, of course they exist, but at the same time you have to pay him at least 2-5 thousand dollars a month, if money allows, you can easily find such people

Answer 4

I myself am a layout designer, but I don’t take orders here, I work at two jobs remotely + word of mouth. There are often different tasks and so on. But just a week ago I gave a task to one, he took it and did it for 4 days supposedly and disappeared, ignored. I found another one for this task and that one also went out and blocked altogether. I don't understand these morons. I revealed that they are both in their 30+ years. Now I strictly take on tasks only youngsters, what the hell are these men without responsibility.

Answer 5

It all depends on your preferences both in the profession and in finance. Someone prefers hourly pay with an advance payment every Friday, while someone prefers a higher percentage from a promoted employer. Then freelancing smoothly turns into remote permanent work. And this also has its pros and cons. Well, it’s more interesting for an advanced pro to work in a team like him + something like Epstein at The Beatles. Here, if the project succeeds, the percentage of you is transparent, and the risks ... the risks are taken by this epstein. But he also evaluates the prospects of the project in connection with the originality and relevance of your ideas, which you should generate, not him! If you are just executors of other people's ideas, then the percentage, by definition, should not be high. Maximum its some increase for fast and high-quality work.

Answer 6

Of the 30 exchanges, only 2 - with "original" customers. The rest - with intermediaries. It is easy to understand by the wording of tasks and prices.
