Many freelancers come from full-time jobs and want to use that work history to build trust with new clients. Whether you can name a previous employer as a reference on your profile depends on what your contract with them said and whether they are comfortable being listed. Most freelance platforms do not have rules against this, but the real concern is on the employer's side. Some companies have policies about being used as references in outside work. Have you ever listed a past employer on your freelance profile, and did it help you land clients?
