As part of our commitment to you, we’ve compiled this list of frequently asked questions! 🙂
We promise both clients and talent the best experience, and we are very serious about this promise. For that reason, freelancers are tested for English and technical skills. Once you have been cleared, you’ll be shortlisted for the GPH Readiness Test. After this test has been passed, you’ll be cleared to create an account.
Once you’ve joined the GPH community, we begin to search for projects that fit your skill sets and general profile. Our team will also reach out to you with any project that is a match – no bidding and negotiating required.
With GeeksPerHour, you get the freedom to work anytime, from anywhere. We make it easy to grow your freelance business with ongoing opportunities. There’s no bidding, marketing, or proposals involved. You don’t have to worry about competition or pressure of winning a bid, nor do you have to worry about negotiating with clients. You’ll get paid hourly for hours billed to the client. You’ll also receive 24/7 customer support with a clear dispute process.
Typically, we use hourly rates that are fixed immediately after the screening process, and there are no additional fees. Once you’re connected to a client, you simply fill in hours against the tasks completed, and this is approved by the client weekly. Payments are made in the third week for the work done in a particular week.
Our talent chooses the rate they are most comfortable with. In addition, we offer a recommended rate based on factors such as years of experience, demand, and more.
When you’re matched with a project, freelancers are encouraged to work full-time until completion because our clients are typically accustomed to a 40-hour per week format.
We provide a user-friendly platform to help you chat and share files, track your time and get paid.
One-person startups and top tech companies alike use GPH for their outsourcing needs.
Whether you’re a brand new freelancer or just new to the GPH platform, we have a few tips to share. First, make a good impression with professionalism. Offer clarity into turnaround times, requirements, and more. Second, be sure to propose milestones to request for the scheduling of payments for chunks of work completed. Last, be sure to always do a background check on new clients. We take care of that for you, but if you’re outside of GPH, be sure to carefully screen your clients!

If you are a web development company in the US, UK, Canada, or Australia, or if you are a small business running a website or seeking help developing a web or mobile application, then Geeks Per Hour is for you!
If you are already using freelancers, web developers, or web designers on Elance, Guru, Odesk, Freelancer, or PeoplePerHour, and you’re tired of having to sift through hundreds of proposals and choosing a developer only to be met with disappointment, then Geeks Per Hour is for you!
If you’re tired of posting the same job over and over again, then Geeks Per Hour is for you!
Our team uses two criteria for choosing the right developer for your job. First, we look for developers with experience in similar jobs. Second, we look for the expertise required by your job.
Each of our developers is required to undergo a multistage, comprehensive, and extensive interview process. Our pre-screening includes testing developers in technical, analytical, logical reasoning, English language, curiosity, learning ability, and soft skills.
We’re confident that the developer you’ll receive at Geeks Per Hour is better than the one you’ll find on another platform!
Typically, you will receive a developer within 12-24 hours of posting your job. Our expert IT team first reviews your posted job and then looks for your specifications and requirements to identify the technical expertise required. We’ll look for this, as well as developers with experience in similar jobs.
If the time required to complete your project is less than a few hours, we won’t stop the work and require a new package. We’ll complete the project. If the time necessary is significant, we’ll request that you make an additional purchase to ensure the quality completion of your job.
Our hours of operation are Monday – Sunday 11am – 8pm India standard time (GMT +5:30), with the exception of the 2nd and 4th Saturdays of the month.
