On the Website, you may establish an account as a client (“Client”). There are two account types that you may select. A free Client account with viewing capabilities only or the Pro Client membership of $24/month or $240/year. 

 

The following benefits are to all Pro Client accounts: 

• Search through freelancer profiles for free with unique keyword search and filtering options (skill, personality types, industries, etc.)
• Create a Client Profile that showcases your company’s culture, mission, and values
• Post unlimited opportunities to our JobOpp board with templates designed to help you “hire for culture”

Purchase

You may elect to pay for your account on a monthly or annual basis. You will select the frequency of billing at the time of purchase. You will be billed for the initial payment at the time you establish your Pro account. 

You will be billed monthly or annually for your Pro Client account, depending on your selection. You are required to keep a credit card on file, which may be updated at any time by accessing the billing section of your account profile. If, at any time, we are unable to charge you for renewal of your Pro Client account, we will contact you to update your payment information. If your payment information is not updated within 10 days, we will suspend your account/downgrade it to the free version.

 

Upgrade/Downgrade Account

You can upgrade or downgrade your Client account at any time. If you upgrade from a Free account to Pro, you must make your initial payment in accordance with the terms above. 

If you downgrade at least 3 working days prior to your next billing date, you will not be billed at the same rate.

 

Cancellation

You can cancel your Client Account at any time. To cancel, navigate to the Account Settings, then Subscriptions to change your subscription account type. Your Account will be canceled at the expiration of the period for which you have already paid. This makes your profile and any job opportunities hidden and not viewable to the general public.  You may still view and manipulate your profile in a free account. This allows for future use of the account with your information being stored in the system. 

If you have a Pro Account, you must cancel at least 3 working days prior to your next billing date. If you have paid annually, you will not receive a prorated refund on the annual fee.

 

Profile Deletion

At any time, you may downgrade your account to a Free account. If you no longer want any of your information stored on the site, you can email [email protected] to have our admin do a complete wipe of your account. 

Refunds

Refunds are not available for Pro Client Accounts. 

 

BUILDING YOUR CLIENT PROFILE

Pro Client accounts may begin building their Client profile. This profile will allow you to showcase your company’s culture, mission, and values. 

When building your profile, you agree to abide by the following rules: 

• You will be honest about your business.
• You will abide by our code of conduct. 
• If you upload any content, including images, photos of you, or video, you are granting us permission to post this content on your behalf. 
• You will not post any confidential, defamatory, or inappropriate content on your profile. 

Once your profile is live, any member of the public will be able to access it. It will be displayed with your first name and last initial or your business name. Please do not submit a profile if you do not want it to be accessible to the public. 

Filtering Criteria

HelloSavvy has a number of built-in types of filtering criteria, from experience with certain tools to language proficiency. Freelancers have entered information in a number of categories and have agreed to do so honestly; however, please be aware that this information may be subjective and you will be responsible for vetting the Freelancers to ensure they have the skills you need for your company. 

 

Personality Criteria

Freelancers have been invited to enter personality information. This includes categories from a number of commonly used personality frameworks, such as the Enneagram, Strengths Finder, or Kolbe. These categories are not required from our Freelancers; so you may also find other qualified candidates if you do not search by personality traits. 

Personality information is, like all Freelancer Portfolio information, self-reported by the Freelancers. There are not any tests administered by HelloSavvy to verify the content. 

Personality is one of many insights you can use in hiring, but because there is a level of subjectivity, we don’t recommend that it is your only hiring criteria. 

 

Certifications

In a Freelancer portfolio, they may also list certifications and may also upload copies of the certificates. 

These are self-reported and you should verify whether or not it is up-to-date. Additionally, please verify that the skills indicated on the certification are what you need in your project. 

 

MESSAGING 

Pro Client Accounts will have the ability to use the HelloSavvy messaging system to contact Basic and Pro membership Freelancers. 

This will allow you to message other users. At all times, you agree to follow our Code of Conduct when using the messaging system. 

The messaging system has the ability to report users. If you are engaging with another member and they have violated the Code of Conduct, please flag the message and report it to us. 

If it is found that any user has violated any of the Terms, Company reserves the right to ban the individual from holding an account on the Website or from accessing any Company Content. 

You agree that HelloSavvy is not responsible for the content of any messages sent from third parties to you on the HelloSavvy platform.

REVIEWS

You will be invited to leave reviews for Freelancers who you have hired through HelloSavvy. You are asked to leave honest feedback. The review should adhere to the Code of Conduct and should not be false or defamatory. We do not make it a practice to remove reviews, but if you have left inappropriate conduct, we will be forced to do so. Freelancers are given the opportunity to request that we consider reviews for removal.  

Please note that we will not actively monitor the reviews that are submitted. If you encounter an issue with a review, please notify us immediately.
