Review brief
No follower counts. No public contact noise.

Product proof, not popularity

See what actually matters.
Before you decide.

Skills, availability, intent, complete requirements, and visible next steps stay together—without follower counts, profile popularity, or public contact noise.

01

Opportunity state

Active work stays discoverable.

Published roles and real business needs remain available while they are active, so people can focus on work they can act on now.

Browse opportunities
02

Profile visibility

Public talent is intentionally visible.

Freelancers can build and update profiles for free. Public publishing is available only while the account is active and Pro access is current.

03

Private communication

Conversations stay in context.

Requests and messages stay connected to the relevant people and work item instead of becoming public contact noise.

04

Hiring ownership

Companies manage every hiring update.

The hiring company controls interviews, decisions, and timeline changes. Candidates receive those updates and notifications inside RateBoard.

Start hiring

Before and after

A job title never tells
the full story.

RateBoard turns a vague request into a complete requirement—with scope, constraints, availability, budget context, private interest, and every next decision attached.

01

Vague briefs

Important scope, constraints, and expectations disappear before work begins.

02

Noisy outreach

Public replies and scattered introductions make useful interest difficult to evaluate.

03

Unclear status

People do not know whether a need is open, under review, accepted, or complete.

04

Disconnected communication

Context gets split across comments, contact details, and private conversations.

Painboard need

The problem stays readable.

Product UI example

Website and digital presence

New request

Need a clearer booking flow for a local service business

The current website makes customers call for every appointment. The business needs a simple mobile-friendly flow that explains availability and captures booking requests clearly.

Public profiles and controlled visibility

Build privately.
Publish intentionally.

A free account is enough to create, edit, and upload your freelancer profile. Public discovery is a separate visibility choice available to freelancers with an active Focus or Scale plan.

Still need help?

Company accounts can publish and manage jobs. Signed-in users can describe a genuine business need on Painboard, while RateBoard keeps its discussion, requests, owner decision, and connected conversation attached to the same context.

Yes. Free freelancers can create, edit, correct, and upload their professional profile at any time. The profile remains private until an eligible paid plan is active.

Freelancers with an active Focus or Scale subscription can publish or unpublish their profile. When paid access ends, the profile content remains editable but is removed from public discovery.

Free includes 3 monthly applications and 3 company job posts. Focus includes 20 applications, 10 job posts, and 10 freelancer contact requests. Scale includes 50 applications, 30 job posts, and 30 contact requests. A freelancer can keep only one active job application with the same company at a time.

The hiring company controls screening, interviews, status changes, and the final decision. RateBoard records those updates, shows them in the application timeline, and notifies the candidate when action is taken.

Paid plans renew monthly or yearly according to the selected cadence. You can cancel before renewal, keep paid access through the current billing period, and stop the next charge. Usage allowances reset every month, including on yearly plans.

No. Private messages are visible only to the connected participants. Public Painboard discussion remains separate, and private chat opens only after a valid application, direct hiring request, or accepted connection.
