About PeoplePerHour

PeoplePerHour is an online marketplace connecting businesses with freelancers across categories including technology and programming, writing and translation, design, digital marketing, video/photo/image, business, music and audio, and social media. Freelancers can be searched and contacted directly, or hired through fixed-price "offers" for pre-defined packages of work. The platform includes an AI matching feature called Phoenix that connects clients with freelancers based on project needs, and freelancers listed on the platform undergo a review and approval process before being able to offer services.

The platform is positioned as UK-first, with 60% of freelancers and clients based in the UK, while also serving users in over 100 countries. It reports a network of 3 million rated freelancers covering 8,766 skills, with freelancers having earned $150 million on the platform and top freelancers earning over $7,000 per month. The company also states it has partnered with Toptal to offer access to Toptal's vetted freelancer network.

The service is aimed at both businesses seeking to hire freelance talent and freelancers seeking project work, supporting both direct freelancer search/hiring and freelancers browsing and quoting on posted projects.
