How Do I Track Freelancers and Their Deliveries?
You track freelancers by keeping a record for each person with skills, rates, and history, and by linking every job they take to a brief, a deadline, and a delivery status. On Jestor, this runs through a freelancers table linked to job records.
Freelancers help agencies absorb peaks, but they also bring risk. A missed deadline from someone working outside the team can hold up the whole project, and without records, the agency keeps rehiring people with a poor track record.
What untracked freelancers cost
- Deadlines missed without early warning
- Good freelancers forgotten when they are needed again
- Rates and agreements remembered from memory
- No history of quality or reliability
How freelancer tracking works
- Each freelancer is a record with skills, rate, and contact
- Jobs link to the freelancer with brief, deadline, and fee
- Delivery status is updated as work progresses
- A rating field stores quality and reliability after each job
Why Jestor fits this use case
- Reliable freelancers are easy to find again
- Early status updates reduce surprises
- Fees agreed for each job are documented
- This scales from a few regular freelancers to a large network
