For Suppliers, CircleSource works on the basis that a fee is only charged if a Supplier successfully gets work through the platform.  That’s right, NO JOB – NO FEE.  When a Supplier does successfully pitch for a Job, we only charge a 7.5% fee based on the value of the accepted offer, e.g. $1000 Job = $75 fee.  We’re big on transparency so anytime a Supplier makes an offer they will see exactly what the potential fee is.  Check out our Pricing Page for more info.

For smaller Jobs where the fee is less than $550, the successful Supplier is charged at the time the Buyer accepts their offer.  Where the fee may be greater than $550, Suppliers have the option to split the payment 50% when their offer is accepted, 50% in 30 days.  For more info, check out our Pricing Page.

Posting a job is simple in CircleSource using our job builder that prompts buyers through every step of creating a quality job brief to post to the market.  Check out our “How to create a Job” video in our knowledge base for more.  When you’re ready to publish your Job, you can review matched suppliers and build your own shortlist, post to the open market, or both.  You’re in complete control with CircleSource.  Check out our “24 Top project brief tips” article for guidance on writing a winning brief.

We don’t require any payment information from our members unless they are intending to pitch for available Jobs.  You won’t be asked for this until you’re ready to make an offer on a Job, when you’ll be prompted to provide credit card details.  NOTE: CircleSource uses Stripe as our third party payments provider, who have the highest level of compliance with statutory payments requirements.  No credit card information is collected or stored by CircleSource.

If something's not clear or you just want a bit more info, use our handy chat function to contact the buyer. Type your pitch directly in or attach a written proposal, the choice is yours.
Tip: Respond to the key Job requirements in as much detail as possible."
