Save time with minimal effort

At zoulloo, acceptance is based on a thorough evaluation to ensure a high-calibre freelance community. We first assess technical expertise via targeted tests relevant to your field. We also evaluate human skills during an in-depth interview to understand your relational strengths and collaboration style. Relevant experience and concrete achievements are essential, as is alignment with our values of collaboration, excellence and commitment. If you meet these criteria, after onboarding you will join a community where your profile is showcased and optimised to access the most relevant assignments.

Yes, you can apply while working via an umbrella company. When you sign up, simply provide your umbrella company’s details so we can factor this into your assignments.

• A validated profile on zoulloo gives you access to a platform built by and for experts in market research, data and AI.
• Unlike automated checks on other platforms, our selection process is an in-depth evaluation of your expertise lasting 3–4 hours in total. Throughout your application, you speak with a talent agent who takes time to understand your expectations, highlight your strengths and refine your positioning.
• Once validated, you join the zoulloo talent community, active online and at in-person events, alongside the top 20% of freelance experts in market research, data and AI. We contact you when an assignment matches your expectations and skills.
• Independents can struggle to be onboarded by large groups that already work with zoulloo. Joining our community also opens opportunities with major international companies that partner with us.

You have the opportunity to speak directly with client companies when your profile is shortlisted as a potential match for an assignment. Based on zoulloo’s selection of freelancers who meet the client’s needs, the client chooses those they wish to meet through a casting session. This session is a 30 to 45-minute interview, depending on the nature of the assignment, organised by zoulloo and bringing together the client, the freelancer, and a member of the zoulloo team. The discussion allows you to go into detail about your skills, the project’s specific requirements, and all aspects related to the assignment. Alongside the casting, the freelancer and the client can also communicate via the platform regarding the proposal submitted by the freelancer.

zoulloo connects you only with projects that genuinely match your expertise, avoiding poorly qualified assignments and wasted time. We showcase your capabilities to clients, both technical skills and soft skills, to secure assignments that reflect your true value.

zoulloo is remunerated via a commission paid entirely by the client company. As a freelancer, you receive exactly the rate you set, with no deductions related to zoulloo’s fees. This is a key difference from many other platforms.

No. Joining zoulloo and accessing assignments is completely free for freelancers. Our model relies on a commission charged only to companies when a project is confirmed. This means you receive 100% of the agreed rate for every assignment. We are committed to a transparent, fair model with no membership or subscription fees.

As a freelancer, you are free to set your own daily rate for each assignment. Your rate is visible to clients within your proposal, and both you and the client are free to discuss and agree on the final amount. zoulloo does not intervene in these negotiations, ensuring full autonomy for both freelancers and companies to agree on the financial terms of the assignment.

Yes, as a freelancer, you are free to apply for several assignments at the same time. You manage your own schedule and workload, and you can respond to as many opportunities shared by zoulloo as you wish. However, it is important to avoid:

• Submitting proposals for projects that cannot realistically be carried out simultaneously.
• Working for competing companies at the same time.

Once you accept an assignment, you commit to completing it within the agreed timeframe and scope. Carefully assessing your availability helps ensure smooth management of all your ongoing assignments.

From the very start, you are supported by a Talent Agent throughout the entire process. As soon as you submit a proposal for an assignment, you are kept regularly informed of your application’s progress. The zoulloo team will contact you directly, and you’ll receive email notifications at every key stage, when your proposal is shared with the client, if the client wishes to organise a casting (selection interview), or when your profile and proposal are accepted for the assignment. This way, you stay fully informed at every step of your application journey.

Yes. zoulloo ensures the assignment runs smoothly for both client and freelancer and remains available for any questions. The execution of the work itself is the responsibility of the freelancer and the client.

Yes, you can update your profile at any time. We recommend doing so regularly, especially when you gain new skills, master new tools or broaden your experience, so your profile reflects your expertise and development.

On zoulloo, assignments are not directly accessible on the platform. Firstly, for confidentiality reasons: even short or tactical assignments can require discretion. Secondly, for efficiency: by controlling the matching process through our technology and limiting the number of freelancers selected to submit a proposal, we save you valuable time. You avoid spending hours on proposals that have little chance of success.

Our approach is based on a targeted selection that maximises your chances of matching with the right opportunities:

• During your application process, your Talent Agent takes the time to discuss your goals, your skills, and what makes you stand out.
• Our technology analyses clients’ needs, objectives, and working environments in detail to deliver precise and efficient matching.
• Thanks to our technology combined with our team’s expertise, we can present clients with a shortlist of one to three freelancers who fit their exact requirements, and offer you assignments that are genuinely aligned with your profile and aspirations.

Yes, as a freelancer, you can absolutely use the platform to find occasional support. During an assignment, whether it originated on zoulloo or not, you might need help or complementary expertise. In that case, you can reach out to us, and we’ll help you identify, within the zoulloo community, a qualified freelancer who can support you in successfully completing your assignment.

Your profile is not publicly accessible. It remains confidential within our platform and is only shared with clients for whom you agree to submit a proposal, so they can assess your skills and fit.
