Ask Do freelance platforms treat new accounts differently from older ones?

[Brendan]

There is a common belief among freelancers that new accounts get less visibility and fewer opportunities compared to accounts that have been on the platform for a longer time. It makes sense that platforms would favour profiles with a track record because they have reviews and completed jobs that prove they can deliver. But this creates a situation where new freelancers struggle to get their first few jobs simply because the system is not pushing their profiles forward. It almost feels like a cycle where you need experience to get work but need work to gain experience. Have you noticed a real difference in how new and older accounts are treated on your platform?
