Prequalified jobs: Get translation jobs done |
Getting a small job done quickly can take too much time. Service providers need to be called, emailed to see who is available, files transferred, POs issued, all before the work actually starts. This means wasted time for outsourcers and providers alike.
Prequalified jobs are designed to solve this problem--and eliminate the wasted time, allowing you to get your project done faster. Upload your files, choose who you want to work with, get the job assigned to one of your prequalified vendors--and get the job done!
With a prequalified job posting, outsourcers upload a file to be translated and specify a list of the service providers they would like to do the work. Job offers are automatically sent to these service providers a few at a time until one accepts the job, does the work, and delivers the completed work back to the job poster.

How do prequalified jobs work?
Prequalified jobs are a tool for streamlining the process of assigning language jobs to qualified service providers. This is done by removing several steps from the traditional job assignment process.
With a prequalified job posting, outsourcers upload a file to be translated and specify a list of the service providers they would like to do the work. Job offers are automatically sent to these service providers a few at a time until one accepts the job, does the work, and delivers the completed work back to the job poster.
- Outsourcer uploads the job and chooses qualified service providers, who are automatically invited a few at a time.
- The first available service provider accepts the job, and a PO is generated.
- Provider completes the work, delivers the file, and submits invoice.
