Job Title

Write specifically who you need and what you need them for. For example, instead of a “Copywriter”, put ” Blog copywriter for Medical Center”. This way you filter out those who do not write blogs and not interested/comfortable with the medical niche.

Description of your business & project

Tell a bit about your company and why you need a freelancer. While many clients often miss this part, it is crucial to explain to the freelancer not just what they need to do, but also what is your ultimate goal. This helps you get the desired outcome.

Deliverables or tasks descriptions

Here is the place to use numbers and specific details. It is vital to be on the same page with the freelancer and have equal expectations of the result. Otherwise, you might think you are getting a full brand design, while the freelancer thought you just needed a logo.

Skills and qualifications

If you are looking for a WordPress developer with experience in E-commerce, this is exactly what you should write instead of a “skilled back end developer”.

What you would like to see in the proposal.

Some clients just ask to mention a specific word. While it is better than nothing, we suggest providing more details of your expectations. Later just disregard those who failed to care enough to follow your guidelines and you will end up with 1-5 worthy candidates.
