What problem does it solve? Finding quality freelance, contract, or consulting work means manually checking dozens of niche and regional boards, then guessing which gigs match your skills, rate floor, and region. This Skill automates that pipeline: it reads your CV, builds a search strategy, scouts multiple vetted boards in parallel, and returns a ranked report of matching gigs. ## Core Features & Use Cases - CV-driven strategy: Derives your discipline, must-have skills, three-format rate floor (hourly/daily/project), and region eligibility from your CV and preferences, with a mandatory approval gate before any searching runs. - Parallel multi-board scouting: Scouts vetted global networks (Toptal, Arc.dev, Gun.io, Braintrust), regional boards (Malt, YunoJuno, freelance.de, Worksome), and niche platforms, while explicitly blocking mass-market sites like Upwork and Fiverr. - Weighted scoring and reporting: Scores each gig on seven axes (skill match, location eligibility, budget fit, and more), then writes a ranked markdown report plus guidance cards for referral-only networks like MarketerHire and South Park Commons. - Use Case: A senior Go backend engineer in the EU runs the skill with a €700/day floor; it scouts Malt, freelance.de, and vetted global boards, filters out region-ineligible and stale postings, and returns a top-40 ranked gig report ready for proposal drafting. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to find freelance gigs matching your CV, for example: run freelance-search with preferences "Senior backend freelance, Go/Rust, prefer DACH/EU, day rate €700+" and provide the path to your CV file.
