Welcome to GigGenius

GigGenius was built with the purest intention: to provide a secure platform, free from fake job postings. We created GigGenius because we saw a broken system - freelancers struggling to find work, burdened by fees and unfair competition.

As a freelancer, I knew there had to be a better way. It was built for freelancers and business owners to use freely, without the need to purchase connects or bid credits simply to apply for a job. It offers equal opportunities to all freelancers, ensuring a level playing field without systems that artificially boost profiles of those who have more budget to spend.

MISSION & VISION

Mission

To empower freelancers and businesses by providing a secure, transparent, and equitable platform for connecting talent with opportunities, free from the burdens of unfair fees and manipulative systems.

Vision

A future where every freelancer has equal access to fulfilling work, and every business can easily find the skilled talent they need, all within a trustworthy and supportive online environment.

Guarantee

GigGenius guarantees a safe and fair platform where all profiles are manually vetted to prevent scams and ensure a level playing field for all freelancers. We are committed to providing a free and accessible platform, free from hidden fees or artificial ranking systems that favor those with larger budgets. We believe in empowering talent, not exploiting it.

OUR JOURNEY

Building GigGenius was a journey that required time, dedication, and perseverance. The platform was rebuilt three times to ensure we got everything right. Yet through every iteration, our vision stayed constant — to create a platform that genuinely empowers its community.

We are the only freelance marketplace that truly supports both freelancers and business owners. Active business owners who continue to use GigGenius services are eligible to receive free access to a GHL CRM sub-account, providing powerful tools for client management, communication, and workflow optimization — helping them scale efficiently while staying connected to their teams and clients.

Security and trust are at the heart of GigGenius. We’ve implemented AI facial recognition technology and, on top of that, conduct manual profile verification for every new user before they can fully access the platform. This dual-layer process helps us maintain a safe environment and protect our community from scammers and fraudulent activity.

GigGenius isn’t just another job marketplace; it’s a thriving platform where freelancers and businesses grow together. We’re dedicated to fostering real connections through networking events, workshops for freelancers, and business meetups that spark collaboration and open new opportunities for everyone involved.

Unlike many platforms, GigGenius does not profit from connects, bids, credits, or any form of paid application system. Our only source of revenue comes from commissions on successfully completed projects — ensuring a fair, transparent, and trustworthy environment for all users.

We proudly stand as the only platform offering completely free applications and job postings — freelancers can apply for gigs without paying per submission, and businesses can hire without posting fees.

Our Free Credit System makes this possible:

  • Freelancers receive free application credits, which are automatically replenished under the following conditions:
    • When an applicant is rejected for a gig.
    • When an applicant is accepted for a gig.
    • When a job listing expires after 30 days.

    This system allows freelancers to apply for opportunities continuously without financial barriers or hidden costs.

  • Business owners receive free job posting credits, which are automatically replenished under the following conditions:
    • When an applicant is rejected for the gig.
    • When an applicant is accepted for the gig.
    • When a gig listing expires after 30 days.

    Our system enables business owners to post gigs at no cost, providing a valuable opportunity to connect with genius freelancers on GigGenius. We ensure all gigs are up-to-date, offering 'Geniuses' the latest opportunities.
