What’s changing for freelancers
Most freelancers will benefit from the higher application quality and will not be impacted by the reduction in applications: 90% of new and high quality freelancers submit fewer than 30 apps per month.
Summary of changes: ● Can apply to 30 jobs per month instead of 80-100 ● Get “Connects” back only when a job is cancelled by oDesk ● Freelancers will be more selective when applying to jobs ● Freelancers will need to submit fewer applications to win a job ● Can purchase more Connects with a paid membership

Summary of changes: ● Share Connects among agency members ● Must pay to use team members ● Can apply to 30-40 jobs per month instead of (80 x number of users) ● Agencies will be more careful about which jobs they apply to ● The Agency Plus plan will help professional agencies stand out
Professional agencies with multiple team members will now pay $20/month, but will have access to more applications and stand out to clients.
