Hi there my site is location based rather than remote work. I am concerned that every freelancer who chooses to receive notifications from a category would get an email. Can a freelancer receive notifications based on how close the job is to them as well as the category?
If you have 1000 freelancers assigned to a category you would definitely get black listed if you site sent out a lot of notifications as a result so it would be great to filter by location. I look forward to hearing if this is possible? Thanks
Hello,
Thanks a lot for your interest in our product.
FreelanceEngine was created to focus on the online job market. Thus, I’m afraid that it will not be fully suitable for your project.
In FrE version 1.7.3, the notification via email was created. However, it’s based on the Category and it’s also all we have now.
If you have any further question, please feel free to email to support@enginethemes.com.
Regards.
Thanks for the feedback, do you have plans yet in future releases to allow for location based projects rather than solely online / remote projects? Just wondering if you have anything in the roadmap that will use location or maps?
Uyen,
Location based for both freelancer and Microjob would be great. Sell it as an Extension.
Thanks
