Hi Matt - I'm an employer from RAC and quite frankly I've hated freelancer ever since you acquired vworker.

I had so many "points" from my rac account usage I could buy time to skype call the freelancer CEO - so I did - and it was never fulfilled, even after me trying to contact support about it multiple times.

The gamification angle? please it just gets in the way (although the new site design it's less obnoxious)

The quality of freelancers is garbage and freelancer.com just doesn't have the same level of targeting rac/vworker had to weed out the useless people.

Sorry for such a negative post, I could say worse, but it's just been very painful experience for me ever since that acquisition. To the point where I barely post jobs anymore and find alternate ways to hire.
