Tips for Getting Better Proposals

• Be specific. Vague descriptions lead to mismatched proposals. The more detail you provide, the more accurate the responses will be.
• Set a realistic budget. Research typical rates for similar services so your budget aligns with market expectations.
• Respond promptly. Freelancers appreciate quick feedback. Engaging early with strong proposals improves your chances of securing top talent.
• Use relevant keywords. BeBee's matching engine uses your description and category to surface your request to the right freelancers. Include specific skill names and technologies where applicable.

What Happens Next

Once your request is live, BeBee's real-time matching system notifies freelancers whose profiles match your requirements. You will receive proposals directly in your dashboard, where you can review each freelancer's message, proposed price, and timeline.
