How applying works

  1. 01

    Read and accept the agreement

    The Specialist Agreement sets out how hires, delivery, disputes and pay work. You accept it before anything else.

  2. 02

    Describe yourself

    Your first name (the only name customers see), a headline, a short bio, an optional portfolio link and your minimum price per hire.

  3. 03

    Pick your skills

    Choose up to 6 services you want to be hired for. They become the services on your profile.

  4. 04

    Take a short quiz

    The questions are drawn from the skills you picked. The pass mark is 70%.

  5. 05

    Confirm age and country

    You must be 18 or older. We check your date of birth and don't store it. Applications from sanctioned countries are refused.

  6. 06

    Review and submit

    The Lumen review team decides within 5 business days and emails you.

What we ask for

  • Your first name, a headline and a short bio
  • An optional portfolio link (it helps the review and isn't shown publicly)
  • A minimum price per hire, from 100 to 20,000 credits
  • Your date of birth (checked, not stored) and your country of residence
  • No identity documents

How review works

The Lumen review team reads your answers, your quiz and your portfolio link, and decides within 5 business days. You get the decision by email and on your specialist desk. Until it is approved, your profile is not listed.

How pay works

Customers pay in credits when they hire you. The credits are held until the customer accepts your delivery, or it is accepted automatically 7 days after delivery. Your share is then owed to you, and you request a payout to your card once you are owed €50.00. Your share and the payout terms are set out in the Specialist Agreement.
