You've made it to the Hire a Freelancer (HAF) section! This must mean you're looking for people with specific skill sets to hire! Maybe you're looking for a new virtual assistant to help get those things done that you like to shove to the side? Or, you need a developer to help you with a website! And of course SEOs are always in demand!

Rules for Starting a New Hire a Freelancer Thread
1.) Users must have 15+ posts to submit a Hire a Freelancer form.
2.) The user must be requesting a service that a freelancer can fulfill.
3.) Fill out the form as detailed as possible in order to get the best responses from BHW sellers.
4.) Please use the form. If you submit a thread without using the form, the thread will be deleted and your account may incur a warning.
Please remember that in order to DM sellers, you will need to have a certain amount of posts. If you go and participate in threads that interest you, it won't take long to unlock the DM feature so you can contact sellers that interest you.
Do not post your outside contact information while filling out the form.
NOTE: Do not post the same request multiple times. If your HAF has been fulfilled, please send a ticket in to the Support Desk and ask for your thread to be closed. If after the thread has been closed you have the need of the service again, you may post another thread. Otherwise the thread will be closed after 30 days by the Community Team. After the original thread is closed, you may start another with the same request.
Rules for Replying to a HAF Thread
1.) You must have an active Jr. VIP, Premium or Marketplace seller subscription to reply to HAF threads.
2.) ONLY services that would be allowed in the Marketplace are allowed to be offered by Freelancers.
3.) Please read the form to note how the Buyer would like you to contact them. If they ask for a reply in the thread, you may also link your sales thread if you have one.
NOTE: You can not post your contact information in HAF threads. If you would like your contact information shown publicly, you may purchase a sales thread to link in your replies!
Do not simply create a single template to copy/paste everywhere. This is considered post count spam and is not what HAF is meant for.

Currently, we do not allow users to post these requests:
Staying Safe
When making or replying to HAFs, please be aware that Black Hat World offers no guarantees about the OP or the freelancers responding to a thread. To make sure that you stay safe, please consider:
- using an escrow service
- conducting a background check
- using a payment method with strong buyer protection (i.e. paypal - not using friends and family)
- making sure the communication stays on BHW in a DM so you have grounds to start a dispute if things go sour
For more information on staying safe, please read our thread titled, "Avoiding Scams & Staying Safe On Black Hat World".
Above all, use common sense. If you are not happy with an agreement, inform the other party you do not wish to continue before you commit to providing or buying a service. If you feel you have been ripped off or a transaction is not conducted properly, please post a thread within the Dispute Resolution forum. Make sure you read the Dispute Resolution section rules first.
