Best practices when making a talent search:
Fill out the entire form with as much detail as possible. These details will be sent to any contributor you invite to your publication.
Give your request a memorable title so that you’ll be able to find it easily in the future.
Create a new search for each type of content format; this helps us find contributors with the right skills and experience to complete the work.
Only select a specific language or location if this is absolutely required for your work as it might significantly reduce the number of recommendations you receive.
If you request more recommendations from the Creative Marketplace Team, it can take up to 48 hours until you receive new freelancers. It may take longer if your request included specific language or location needs.
