As an HR freelancer, your profile is your most important tool. It’s where you can showcase your skills. It’ll help you stand out to potential clients and increase your chances of landing jobs. The categories below explain how they help to raise your hire rate:
Title | Professional Overview
Along with your specialization, and professional overview, sharing certifications are a great way to highlight your skills and experience — especially in the Human Resources sector. Highlight your key selling points. Use titles like “Compensation Pro”; add MBA, CCP, or the like if you have them.
Profile Picture
Often overlooked, the profile picture is the beginning of setting your reputation and visibility on any platform. Organizations, of all sizes, want to know who they are working with, and what better way than with a professional photo. No picture typically is a red flag.
Employment History
Please be detailed with your employment history. Organizations will want to be able to verify experience. Even if you have not freelanced before, focus on describing projects or roles that enhance the value of your freelancer profile.
Portfolio
A portfolio is a very effective way for you to demonstrate your skills and expertise to potential clients. As a HRfrenzy user, you have the option of describing your work and adding the relevant skills for the jobs you have completed in any category we currently offer. Keep it high level, non-technical and plainspoken, but make sure to highlight your results. More than anything, buyers want to know about outcomes, not just tasks you’ve done!
Testimonials | External Reviews
Obtaining ratings for work completed is essential, and it is how you garner client trust. If you’re new in the platform, you should add past projects in your portfolio and invite your past employers or clients to leave a review on your skills and services! This will offer social proof of your previous experience and expertise. Here’s how to get external reviews on your freelancer profile.
Education
Highlight your education and certifications related to your expertise and experience.
Skills
Add skill tags related to your experience and field. Adding skills increases visibility in search and ultimately increase your chance for hire.
Languages
Help your profile stand out to potential clients looking to expand business in global markets by including all the languages in which you feel comfortable communicating.
While it will be up to the buyer to decide who they will choose for their project, completing your profile will let them know you are serious about a potential partnership. Why wait — get hired by completing your profile!
