Lots of ‘freelance’ there in the title, but it was difficult to avoid. Outsourcing marketplace Freelancer.com (formerly GetAFreelancer) has acquired its much smaller German counterpart, Freelancer.de.
The terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Just a couple of days ago, Freelancer.com also acquired EUFreelance, a euro-denominated freelancing marketplace servicing the European Union.
Sponsored with funds from the EU, Freelancer.de (or as the company is named, Freelancer Bookingcenter) was launched in the Summer of 2007 to increase online recruitment for microbusinesses and self employed freelancers in Germany.
Over 120 categories of freelance work are currently listed through Freelancer.de, servicing thousands of businesses across Germany.
Freelancer.com is an outsourcing marketplace for small business. The platform connects over 7 million employers and freelancers globally from over 234 countries & regions. Through its website, employers can hire freelancers to do work in areas such as software, writing, data entry and design right through to engineering and the sciences, sales and marketing, and accounting & legal services. The average job is under $200. To date almost 4 million projects have been posted on Freelancer.com.
