Great customer experience team

I've had a tailor-made experience thanks to Hector from the customer experience team, who made sure to understand my specific profile and supported me in getting all my business documents approved!

Horrible experience

I finished a job and the money didn't come until now, I was supposed to get paid in 6 business days but now more than 30 days have passed and my payment didn't arrive yet. This platform seems to not care about freelancers as long as they get their commission. When I first created my account, the support was nice and replied on the same day, now I am sending emails.. in vain

Hi Mourad,
We are deeply sorry that you have had to deal with these payment delays.

There have been human and organizational issues that have impacted the payment of your invoice on the Cash advance provider and client side, but we have done everything possible to ensure that you were paid even with delay after all.

- Malt followed up with the client and his accounting by email every days to recover your funds, we tried to never leave alone to deal with this unpaid bill, and the team (Julia and I) want to support you in this type of crisis situation.

We hope that thanks to the payment you have received, you won't just keep this bad Malt first experience.
We would like to thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us.
Have a good day,

Terrible platform - DO NOT USE MALT AS A FREELANCER

Terrible platform. UK Freelancers please avoid using this platform. They use your information on the site you have inputted to find work to use to solicit introductions to clients from your CV. I completed work over a month ago and I am still waiting for get paid. I’ve told freelancers in my network and clients to not work with Malt or use the platform. I will be deleting my account once I finally get paid. I would advise people to use Worksome and YunoJuno

Hi Joy,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback on Trustpilot.
Firstly, we sincerely apologise for the delay in your payment. This delay has been mainly due to our client's team being on holiday and, therefore, unable to validate the end of the project.
This is a really unfortunate situation that is, sadly, beyond our control as the client did not transfer the rights to another colleague.

We've strived to keep you consistently updated during this period, as we recognise the importance of clear and regular communication when unexpected issues like this arise. While we absolutely understand your frustrations, it is worth noting that we have worked to ensure you were continually informed.

We are doing everything possible to speed up this process.
Again, we're very sorry for the inconvenience this has caused you and appreciate your patience and understanding.

A member of our team has just contacted you to set up a call to discuss this further.

Best,
Malt team

Waste of time - mostly tech roles

Waste of time - unclear on their market.
They invite people from all industries to spend significant time and effort to build a profile.

In reality the vast majority of their roles are tech-focussed. I am an accountant - Malt is not for me. I wish they had just said that from the start.

Hi Jenny,
We looked for your profile but could not find it, have you deleted it already?
We are sorry about that experience, we do observe some clients looking for accountants from time to time but it is true that it is not our core market.
Malt could be seen as an extra way to receive new opportunities without any prospection.
We hope we will see you back one day, do not hesitate to reach out to us at support@malt.com if you need some help.
Best regards,
Malt team

What a waste of time

What a waste of time, not only do MALT request a huge amount of information with strange pointless caveats such as a biometric page of a passport not just a scan. BUT, you also wont get any work from it, I've got a great CV 12 years in the field and don't really need any additional work so put up my profile out of curiosity and I get hardly any hits, if you're a female with a profile picture you'll get a load of views, maybe no work, but a load of views.

Edit post reply from Malt firstly the descriptions of what is expected in documents are poor at best secondly if I were to receive any work it would not be 'thanks to you' you're just useless middle men, leaches of society. rubbish platform, fake reviews, jog on.

Hi Matt,
We understand that uploading your legal documents is not the funniest part of the process, but we do accept a photo of your ID document.

Our first mission at Malt is to offer you the most suitable projects, according to your skills and desires, taking into account your availability and your expertise. Some factors used by the algorithm have a larger impact than others and can influence how likely a freelancer is to receive new opportunities, such as:
- Profile characteristics and job category,
- Number of external recommendations,
- Date of the last profile update,
- Date of the last availability confirmation,
- Possibility to work onsite,
- Availability...

We do not ask nor use any demographics data like age (but professional experience, yes), gender or interests to match profiles with clients' projects.
Remember that the ranking of profiles also depends on how they compare to other active freelancers and the client’s specific search criteria. It is impossible to have 100% control over every element, no matter what. Also, on Malt just like anywhere else, some professions are more in demand than others.

Malt could be seen as an extra way to receive new opportunities without any prospection.

We do hope that you will start a project soon thanks to us.

Best regards,

Malt team

A waste of my time

I spent a long time putting my profile up on Malt.
I have many years of experience in my field. After a few weeks I checked in to find that my Profile had been viewed only once. I wish I had stuck to my usual recruitment agencies and not bothered. For me, MALT is a complete waste of time.

Terrible service

Terrible service - they read your inquiries then completely ignore them. Badly designed sign up forms that they then quietly amend after you've raised an issue but then still don't help to resolve any follow up problems you have.

Spent a huge amount of time adding my description, which now seems to have been deleted. Looking back, I should have typed it all out in Word, but I don't usually have problems with other sites, so why is this one bugged?
I thought they might have a company phone number but like most companies nowadays it's just an email address, which I imagine I'd be fobbed off with a lame response.
