How do I create my portfolio on iHire’s freelance marketplace?

1. Sign in to your account and select “Resumes/Portfolio” on your dashboard.
2. Enter your contact information.
   • Freelancers must have verified email addresses and phone numbers on their account. After you enter these details, verification codes will be sent to your phone and email.
   • Once you’ve confirmed your email and phone number, you’ll see a green “Verified” check mark next to each item on your portfolio.
3. Upload a photo or avatar for your portfolio.
   • This must be an actual photo of you, which helps establish trust with employers, makes your profile more credible, and enables employers to quickly connect a real person to your application or proposal.
4. Fill out additional areas of your portfolio, including:
   • Summary
   • Profile tagline (a short headline to promote your expertise)
   • Personal links (LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter/X, and online portfolio URLs)
   • Work experience
   • Achievements
   • Education and credentials
   • Affiliations
5. Upload and/or link to work samples.
   • Use this section to show examples of previously completed projects.
   • Include a detailed title, a description of the project scope and requirements you fulfilled, and any relevant attachments and/or links that help showcase your capabilities.
   • You may upload images, files, and/or link to an external URL. You can also upload a thumbnail (optional).
6. While freelance candidates aren’t required to upload a resume, we encourage you to do so.
   • If you don’t have one to upload under “My Files,” you can build one from your portfolio using iHire’s Resume Builder.
   • Don’t forget to toggle the radio button to “yes” if you want to make your resume searchable by potential employers.
