At the end of June 2010, RentaCoder was rebranded vWorker. One of the top programming job markets on the web, it is expanding its focus to compete with other freelance marketplaces that have launched since the site was founded in 2001. vWorker currently connects over 300,000 freelance workers with over 150,000 buyers. There are currently over 2,700 open jobs on the site. This is one of the safest places to work, as the use of the escrow system is mandatory for every single project.
Often featured in prime publications like Business Week, vWorker enjoys an impeccable reputation as one of the top places to find reliable and talented software professionals from all over the world.
Despite its old name of RentACoder the site already offers a growing range of writing, design, and other non technical jobs.
For Buyers
Registration, membership and posting jobs are free of charge.
For Providers
As a provider, you must pay vWorker between 6.5% - 15% of whatever you make on a project. Posting a project is completely free for buyers.
Verdict
Excellent interface, top safety for providers, and a proven record of profitability and reliability; what´s not to like?
Buyer Tip
Pre-verify your account to save delays at the moment of selecting a bid.
Provider Tip
About 50% of the jobs posted on vWorker have to do with software. That leaves over 1,300 open jobs in many other areas, so, if you are not a coder, don't be deterred. In fact since the rabrand, we expect this 50/50 split between coding and other jobs to diminish further in the months ahead.
