How do you know the freelancer you are hiring can provide the quality work you need?

We individually vet every freelancer and production company on our platform.  Plus, for each project carried out on Storyhunter, we collect reviews and ratings, from media companies and brands like you, that are added to each freelancer or production company’s portfolio. You can watch previous work, read biographical information, and feel confident you are hiring the right person or company.

Do you have a general topic or theme in mind but need some help with the specific story ideas?

Our Call-for-Pitches posting can help. It’s kind of like an RFP for video ideas that you can do in one location, or all over the world. Create a posting describing what you’re looking for and freelancers will provide you with relevant, specific story ideas that they can also produce if you decide to greenlight them.
