Ø        Client – In an Interpreting environment, the “client” would be the person working with the freelancer.  (Ex: Randolph School called for a freelancer to interpret for Jane Doe.  Jane Doe would be the client). In a translation environment, usually there is not a client working with the translator. Some Translation Agencies have opted to use their client list as the contact person for the job.  In translation environment, the “client” varies based on the discretion of each Agency. 

Ø        Description of Job (Appears on Invoice) – All information entered in this box will appear on your Invoice for the customer to view.  (Ex: Case Number, Case ID, etc.).  If there is specific information you would like to track on your Invoice, you can enter in this box.

Ø        Location – You can enter specifics of where the job is location.  You can enter any notes or location details you need your Agency to know.  You can also enter information regarding directions to the location.

 

Filtering Criteria

What are the filtering criteria used to determine if a Freelancer matches a Job?

Ø        Source/Target Language* Required to be filtered.  Freelancer must enter their source/target language then check off what area of qualifications (interpreting or translation).  Without this information, they will not be filtered for a job.) 

Ø        Gender (By selecting Male or Female, it allows the Agency to be able to better filter for the best matching Freelancer for the job.)  If not required leave blank as it will limit the amount of Freelancers filtered for the job.

Ø        Required Specialization – If the job requires that the Freelancer have a Legal, Medical or Social background you would select one of these required specializations.  Note:  Please do not select this section unless you are 100% sure that this is required.  It will limit the amount of freelancers your agency can filter to get you a match for your job.

 

Uploading Documents

Uploading of Documents is available for Translation jobs only.  Uploading of documents takes place only after you have submitted the translation job request.  Then you simply go to the “Document Information” field/section of your Job request.  Click the browse feature to upload the document from your files.  Type in a description.  The Freelancer and/or Customer can not delete a document once it is uploaded.  Uploading documents has unlimited storage capacity.

 

Customer Survey Forms
Watch a Live demo of Customer Survey Forms
Customer Survey Forms are
a great way that you can inform the Agency of their efficiency quality of their Freelancers.  With the many requests for Customer Survey Forms, our developers have implemented this feature directly into your platform to allow you quick access to communicate with your Agency and give feedback. 

 

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Only when a job is “Completed” the Customer Survey Form becomes available to the Customer.  You are able to rate the Agency and also the Freelancer.  With respects to a Translation Job, the “rating of a freelancer” is removed and the ability to rate project manager and job efficiency becomes available.  

Fill Customer Form button – When the button reads Fill Customer Form, this indicates that you have not filled out the form as of yet.

View Customer Form button– When the button reads View Customer Form, this indicates that you have completed the form and it is ready for you to view.

Note:  Once you have filled out the form, you are no longer able to access the form.   However, the Agency can update the Customer Survey Form at any time.

 

PRINTABLE VIEW

You can print out your Survey Forms for tracking.  The job tracking information becomes available in the header.

 

Rating an Interpreting / Translation Job – The rating are based on 1-5 scale.  1(one) starting as the lowest rating score.  As you are rating a job, it gives your Agency an overall rating of their Freelancers as well. 

Note: Customers are not allowed to rate Translators based on Punctuality, Appearance, etc. as this would not apply to a Translator
