Where can you hire Gazan talents?

Everyday is a new discovery for us. We seem to be in the algorithm of finding so many talents. In the past 2 years, there has been a surge of young Gazan talents expanding into the creative industry to be able to work remotely. We were so lucky to have been able to work with most of these talents.

If you follow the BDS movement, there’s been a call to boycott Israelli owned businesses. And one of the biggest freelance platforms is called Fiverr. It is so important to know who your money is going to. If you don’t really know how these platforms work, let me guide you through.

Usually most platforms will take a certain percentage of a user’s project fees. Meaning your freelancers are not getting the full amount you are paying to. Of course, running the platform and marketing it and everything is effort, so it’s only right companies take a reasonable commission fee.

However, it is important to understand and know where and who these commissions are going to.
