Are you an independent professional looking for a new assignment? Striive can help you. Through Striive, you can work for major clients in sectors such as finance, government, IT and many more. We take care of all the practical matters for you so that you can focus on your new assignment.
We know it can be difficult to see the forest for the trees. But at Striive, it's clear. On our platform, you can immediately see all open new assignments and respond to an assignment that matches your preferences. Hundreds of assignments are waiting for you as a freelancer to be fulfilled. Want to experience this for yourself? Create an account here.
Striive uses its own platform, the largest online marketplace for challenging assignments, where supply and demand come closer together than ever before. Here, you can respond directly to freelance assignments without the intervention of recruiters. Transparent and without extra links. This is how we keep costs low.
If you regularly search for freelance jobs, you will notice how fragmented the market is. One site shows three relevant freelance jobs, another requires a paid membership, and everywhere there is an intermediary taking a cut. Striive takes a different approach. On the platform, you can see in real time which freelance jobs are available at corporations, scale-ups and government agencies in a single dashboard.
Because clients publish assignments directly to freelancers, you can immediately see their rate indication, duration and start date. You decide whether a project is interesting without any intermediation. This saves on negotiations and increases your chances of a match, because you respond at a time when the client is still fresh in their search for candidates.
A complete, up-to-date profile remains the first step to becoming visible on Striive, but the real benefits lie in the details. Don't just fill in your areas of expertise, but also any certifications you have obtained, sector experience and completed projects. This makes it easy for hiring managers to filter and see at a glance whether you are a good fit in terms of content and working methods. Add a short video pitch in which you talk about your recent achievements. Our statistics show that a personal introduction increases the chance of an introductory meeting by more than a third.
Also, tag your portfolio items with core technologies and methodologies, because clients often search for exactly that. This will help you grab attention in a landscape where new freelance vacancies are posted online every day and where quality counts more than quantity.
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.
Complete your profile, upload recent projects, and set your preference for remote or on-site work. In no time, you’ll start receiving alerts for new freelance jobs that match your expertise. Looking for a short sprint or a multi-year transformation? Striive’s system offers a continuous stream of opportunities. Even if you just want to take on a few small gigs between larger contracts, you can quickly find work through micro-gigs.
With Striive, you get an end-to-end workflow. Search, match, contract, invoice and grow. That way, you stay focused on what truly matters: making an impact, delivering value and enjoying the freedom that freelancing brings. Sign up, respond to your first project and experience how transparency, speed and equality form the foundation of a new generation of assignment platforms.
As soon as a client publishes a new assignment on Striive, you can immediately see whether the project matches your ambitions. Each proposal contains a clear description of the objectives, the available budget range and the direct contact person. That openness is typical of Striive: we like clarity, without hidden margins or vague promises. If you think ‘this is my assignment’, simply click on respond.
On Striive, you will find interim assigments and IT manager vacancies without any detours, with complete transparency and room for personal contact. This allows you to focus on what you love doing most: making an impact from day one. Even if you are purely looking for a few small-scale freelance jobs or freelance positions to fill in between two larger projects, you will find a steady stream of work.
