The freelance network is a feature that helps you manage and rehire freelancers and agencies you have worked with in the past. Use it to access past hires and organize freelancers and services into lists, all in one place.
How the freelance network works
The freelance network gives you three core capabilities:
- Centralization: Access and organize freelancers or agencies you have hired, saved, or viewed, all in one place.
- Organized lists: Categorize freelancers using lists for efficient management. You and your team can collaboratively create a shortlist of freelancers.
- Team insights: For Pro clients, view your team's insights on each freelancer, including reviews and orders.
Key benefits include:
- Increased efficiency: Easily access and maintain a network of freelancers for future projects.
- Reduced time-to-hire: Quickly find and hire trusted freelancers with a proven track record.
- Cross-team transparency: For Pro clients, gain insights into your company's hires, projects, and collaborations.
How to access the freelance network
To access the freelance network, go to either:
- Your homepage, under Freelance network.
- The heart icon in the top-right corner of the page.
- Your avatar drop-down menu, and select the appropriate Freelance network.
Page overview
The page features a left navigation panel that controls the content displayed. The panel includes two sections:
Based on your activity:
- All hires: Displays freelancers previously hired by the organization.
- Recently viewed: Displays freelancers or services you have recently viewed. Fiverr Pro clients can view freelancers recently viewed by their team members as well.
Your lists: Displays all lists you have access to. For Pro clients, there are two types of lists:
- Shareable lists: Visible and editable by everyone on the account.
- Private lists: Visible only to the creator.
How to view your network
The All hires tab is where you can see your past freelancer collaborations. Each freelancer card shows a summary of your collaboration, including the number of orders, services provided, reviews, and more.
To rehire a freelancer, click the Contact button on their card.
You can use the following filters to narrow down the list:
- Hired more than once: View freelancers who have worked with you more than once.
- Provided service: View freelancers that provided a selected service in at least one order.
- Hired by: For Pro team accounts, view freelancers hired by a selected team member. For individual accounts, this filter appears as Hired by you.
To view in-depth information and access previous work, click on a freelancer's card to open the Activity panel:
- Collaboration summary: Get a deeper look at their work.
- Reviews: Read the feedback you provided.
- Activity timeline: View the orders the freelancer has worked on, and click on delivered work files to preview or download them.
- Contact: Send a direct message to the freelancer.
For Pro clients, the All hires view provides a broader picture of your team's freelancer collaborations. In addition to your own hires, you can see freelancers hired by other team members, the projects and services they worked on, and feedback from your team, giving you better context on each freelancer's experience and overall collaboration with your organization.
Using lists for potential hires
Lists are part of the freelance network page. Lists allow you to organize freelancers and services you are interested in, making them easy to find for future projects. When you save a service, the freelancer's profile will appear in your list with the saved service nested within their card.
How to create a list
- Click the + icon on the left side of the freelance network page.
- Enter a list name.
For Pro clients: Select whether it is a private list (visible only to you) or a shared list (visible to the entire account).
How to save freelancers to a list
- From the Gig results: Click the heart icon on the Gig, then choose an existing list or create a new one with the + icon.
- From the freelancer profile: Click the heart icon in the top-right corner of the freelancer profile, then choose an existing list or create a new one with the + icon.
When viewing saved items in a list:
- Saved services: When you save a service, it is displayed under the freelancer who provides it rather than as a separate service card.
- Multiple services from the same freelancer: If you save more than one service from the same freelancer, the freelancer appears only once in the list, with the saved services grouped under their card.
How to access your lists
- From the header: Select the heart icon to access a specific list from the dropdown.
- From the freelance network page: Click a list name in the left panel to see all saved freelancers, including your team's shared lists.
How to manage lists
Edit list:
- From the freelance network page, click on the list you wish to update on the left.
- Click on the three dots in the top-right corner and select Edit list, where you can rename the list, add a description to provide more context, or, for Pro clients, set the list as private to restrict access to yourself only.
Delete list: Remove lists you no longer need.
Share list: Share a list with others by clicking the Share icon in the top-right corner of the list. You can copy the list link or share it through the available social platforms.

FAQs, Pro clients
Yes, members can view orders they did not create, based on project permissions. Members can use the Projects page to join public projects, or ask their account admin to add them to private projects to see additional orders.
Your private lists are located on the freelance network page, under Your lists in the left panel. Private lists display a lock icon so you can tell them apart from shareable lists.
Not necessarily. Access to orders depends on project permissions. Members may need to join a public project or be added to a private project by an account admin to access additional orders.
A private list is visible only to its creator, while a shareable list can be accessed and edited by members of the account.
