If you regularly search for freelance gigs, you've probably noticed how fragmented the market is. One site shows three relevant freelance jobs, another asks for a paid membership, and everywhere there’s some middleman taking a cut. Striive does things differently. On our platform, you can see in a single dashboard, in real time, which freelance jobs are available at corporates, scale-ups, and government organizations.
Because clients publish their assignments directly, you immediately see their rate indication, project duration, and start date. You, and you only, decide whether a project is interesting. That saves you time negotiating and increases your chance of a match, since you're responding while the client is still fresh and actively reviewing candidates.
A complete and up-to-date profile is step one to becoming visible on Striive, but the real difference is in the details. The more precise you are about your skills, the easier can our recruiters match you with fitting companies.
Time is literally money when organizations want to move fast. With Striive, you can quickly send your pitch, CV, and availability, including project-specific details pre-filled by the system. That way, you don’t have to rewrite a new motivation each time. We've seen that clients make decisions faster when they already know your rate and start date up front.
Turn on notifications for the fields or regions you're interested in. As soon as new freelance jobs appear that match your preferences, you’ll get notified right away. Respond within the first hour and you almost always make the shortlist, often before the project appears on other channels.
Once you’ve landed the assignment, you go through a streamlined contracting process. A contact person walks you through all relevant clauses, fully tailored to your status as an independent professional. Striive automatically checks for risks related to Dutch DBA law and GDPR requirements, so you can sign with peace of mind. After your e-signature, the project appears in your personal dashboard. You can log hours with an intuitive timer, linked to the agreed deliverables. Upon approval, the system generates an invoice with VAT details and the correct PO number.
The question “niche or broad?” remains up for debate. Data from the HeadFirst dataset shows that specialist profiles tend to earn higher hourly rates, while generalists complete more short-term projects per year.
Is your interested in fully remote opportunities? You’ll find those gigs on our platform too. This connects you with clients working hybrid or fully online. An important advantage if you often work from different locations or want a better work-life balance.
