Ask HN: Best websites for finding freelance jobs?
16 points by jawerty on Oct 17, 2013 | hide | past | favorite | 9 comments
I have recently been interested in doing some freelance work to make some extra money (i do HTML5/Javascript/CSS, php, python, ruby, other web stuff). There seems to be an overwhelming amount of websites/services that help you find freelance developer jobs.

If you have experience in this realm, it would be much appreciated if you could lend me a hand and reply with some websites you suggest and/or have experience using. Thank you very much.



I wrote up a blog post a few weeks ago that covered gun.io, matchist, hackerlist, ooomf, etc and a few other more niche job boards.

I hope to keep it updated as sites come and go (so if you have a good experience with another site/job board, let me know!)

Thanks for including matchist in that list!


"matchist is currently only open to US based developers"


Awesome, thank you.


Best website = use elance/odesk/et al to build up your network...and then stop using them. There's legit, high paying work on those sites but the signal to noise ratio is pretty bad.

I've used elance myself -- it's fine.


Check out https://www.yunojuno.com -- currently London only, and primarily on-site work, but lots of big digital/media agencies using it


https://www.gun.io


www.jobserve.com


This website gave me the most results for ruby jobs around the world, so why downvote? Anything scammy I need to know about these Sirs?
