3.1 - What value does ProZ.com Connect! deliver over the standard job system and public directory tool?
- Time savings searching for linguists – up to 50%. The new Requirements Wizard and new search engine in Connect! enable very targeted filtering to find relevant translators faster.
- Faster response from translators. Because you are using Connect! to source for premium jobs, your inquires get higher visibility in the network and receive greater attention from translators when they hear from you.
- Candidate Management. Filter responses, communicate with candidates via a convenient message center and easily organize your selected translators online. Plus, you can evaluate and easily keep track of your favorite translators.
- More flexibility and control. Be able to see who will be informed of your job opportunity before you post your job. Plus your sourcing and candidate management account is private only to your company, keeping your sourcing activities private and not visible to your competitors or clients.
- Broader reach. In some language pairs, Connect! provides access to many more translators than are available in the public directory.
3.2 - What is the difference between ProZ.com Connect! and Corporate Membership?
ProZ.com Connect! empowers your sourcing and linguist management activity.
Corporate Membership distinguishes you in the community as a company who supports ProZ.com and allows you to promote your business in the special corporate directory. Basic use of ProZ.com Connect is included as one of the benefits of corporate membership. Learn more.
3.3 - How and why was Proz.com Connect! created?
ProZ.com Connect! was developed, beta tested and piloted over a period of 10 months with the cooperation of 25 charter customers. Among them were six of the world’s twenty largest language companies and a number of global firms that purchase translation services, including a global 100 enterprise. Many mid-sized language companies also took part in the charter program, one with as few as two employees.
We recognized that the traditional method of sourcing translators - wading through piles of CVs (curriculum vitae) and tracking candidates with spreadsheets and emails takes far too long to find the qualified candidates companies need – often for urgent assignments. As such, many language industry players working closely with ProZ.com, created a platform that solves these long-standing and costly problems.
3.4 - What is the difference between Connect! jobs and the "classic" job system?
Connect! jobs are those posted via the ProZ.com Connect! platform. Connect! jobs allow outsourcers to define their requirements with more granularity, and to target a job more carefully to desired language professionals. Connect! jobs are shown only to those whose ProZ.com profiles match the requirements defined by the outsourcer.
The "classic" job system refers to ProZ.com's original job posting system. "Classic" jobs are visible to some degree by all site users.
3.5 - What is a premium job?
A job is considered premium when the project pays at or above market rates for the given language pair, and pays the translator a minimum of €100.
3.6 - Who decides whether or not a job is to be classified as "premium"?
For now, Connect! clients have been asked to determine for themselves whether a job qualifies as "premium" according to the definition above.
Note that it can hurt a company's reputation to mark a job as premium if potential candidates do not consider it as such. It is therefore in an outsourcer's own interest to be selective about which jobs it calls premium.
If you feel a job has been posted as premium and the above conditions have not been met, please enter a support ticket, citing the specific post with a URL.
3.7 - Sending/receiving files
7.1 - How can I send files to other site users?
You can send files to any ProZ.com user by clicking on Send file (beta)... at the top of the addressee's profile page.

Finally, a comment may be added to the file sent.
Note that the Send file (beta)... function has been designed to send work-related files. Use of this tool for other purposes is not permitted.
7.2 - Can I send one file to more than one site user at the same time?

4 - Pre-qualified jobs
Watch a screencast explaining ProZ.com pre-qualified jobs here.
4.1 - What is a pre-qualified job?
Getting a small job done quickly can take time. Service providers need to be called, emailed to see who is available, files transferred, POs issued, all before the work actually starts. This means wasted time for outsourcers and service providers alike.
Pre-qualified jobs are designed to solve this problem--and eliminate the wasted time, allowing you to get your project done faster. Upload your files, choose who you want to work with, get the job assigned to one of your pre-qualified vendors--and get the job done!
4.2 - How do prequalified jobs work?
Pre-qualified jobs are a tool for streamlining the process of assigning language jobs to qualified service providers.
1. The outsourcer uploads the job and chooses qualified service providers, who are automatically invited a few at a time.
2. The first available service provider accepts the job, and a PO is generated.
3. The service provider completes the work, delivers the file, and submits the invoice.
4.3 - How are pre-qualified jobs different from other ProZ.com jobs?
The key differences with the pre-qualified job posting approach are:
- Outsourcers can work with their regular pre-approved service providers
- Complete work materials and terms are provided in advance
- The first pre-qualified provider to accept the job gets it, and can begin working right away
- Invitations are sent over time to an ordered list of providers (instead of all at once)
4.4 - What are the benefits of pre-qualified jobs for outsourcers?
If you outsource language jobs, the ProZ.com pre-qualified job system offers the following benefits:
- Increased efficiencies in supply chain management--eliminate the delay in getting the work started
- Work with pre-qualified resources faster and easier
- The option to automatically qualify new service providers, if no existing resources are available
4.5 - What are the benefits of pre-qualified jobs for service providers?
Pre-qualified jobs offer the following benefits to service providers:
- No quoting necessary--you are pre-approved, simply accept the job if you want it
- Complete job materials and terms available in advance to evaluate the job opportunity
- Accelerates work to you from your regular clients
4.6 - Who can post pre-qualified jobs?
Full ProZ.com members and corporate members can post pre-qualified jobs, provided they do not have a Blue Board average LWA of less than 3 and that there are no open non-payment reports in their Blue Board.
4.7 - Where can I post a pre-qualified job?
To post a pre-qualified job go to the Jobs tab at the top of the page and click on "New job posting". For more information, watch the screencast here.
4.8 - Who can reply to pre-qualified jobs?
Any ProZ.com free user or paying member can reply to a Pre-qualified job invitation. Only those invited by the outsourcer will be able to reply to a pre-qualified offer.

5 - Private job postings
5.1 - What are private job postings?
Private job postings are similar to other ProZ.com job postings except that they are visible only to a specific list of eligible service providers. Others will not see any identifiable information about the job posting (though certain generalized information such as language pair and field of expertise may be listed publicly, in order to show general market activity and trends).
5.2 - What is the purpose of private job postings?
In some circumstances, outsourcers who might otherwise post a job at ProZ.com refrain from doing so because they don't want their search activity to be publicly visible (ex. to their clients or competitors). Private job postings allow outsourcers to make these job opportunities available to eligible service providers at ProZ.com. While this might decrease the number of job postings that are visible to any particular user, the goal is that it will increase the overall number of jobs passed through ProZ.com, and improve the relevance of job postings accessible to each provider.
5.3 - How are eligible providers for a private job posting determined?
The outsourcer may explicitly specify providers who are eligible. The system can also attempt to automatically identify eligible providers, if the outsourcer allows it. To do so, the system searches for providers with relevant language pairs, native language, field of expertise, etc., taking into account provider job notification preferences. Prior relationships between the outsourcer and provider are also considered, including the feedback they have recorded about each other.
5.4 - How can I be considered eligible for more private job postings?
Make sure your profile is complete, so that the system can find you when searching for eligible providers with your qualifications. (Having a completed profile is also important to help potential clients to find you via the ProZ.com directory, Internet search engines, etc.)
5.5 - Why can't I access a particular private job posting? I think I meet the eligibility requirements.
Outsourcers have a fine-grained control over the list of eligible service providers for their job postings. An outsourcer may choose to direct a job posting to a specific list of providers, regardless of their profile information.
5.6 - Are private jobs also subject to vetting?
Yes. Private jobs are vetted by ProZ.com staff, in line with site rules for job posting. Private job postings are identical to other classic job postings, except that only eligible providers are allowed to access them.

6 - Turn-key translation - service provider
6.1 - What is turn-key translation?
Turn-key translation is a ProZ.com service that helps clients and translators do quick-turnaround translation jobs with a minimal amount of overhead. The client submits text and payment, and then receives the translation. The translator accepts the job (if interested) and translates the text.
There is no need to quote because qualification is determined in advance. The prices are fixed so there is no negotiation. Clients pay in advance and payment is guaranteed by ProZ.com. The job can be reviewed in its entirety before acceptance, and payment is made shortly after completion. All the translator needs to do is translation.
6.2 - How will I get paid?
Payment will be made to your ProZ.com wallet within 15 days after successful delivery. See the service provider agreement for details.
6.3 - Is there any fee for receiving payment via my ProZ.com wallet?
ProZ.com does not charge a fee for processing wallet withdrawals, but you are responsible for paying any third-party transaction fees. See the wallet page for more details.
6.4 - How is invoicing handled?
At this time, the system does not collect or issue invoices from translator to client. If your tax authority has specific invoicing requirements, you may not be able to use the turn-key translation service in its current state. If you need an invoice for accounting purposes, you might consider creating an invoice in your system as a placeholder for the transaction. If there proves to be a demand for this service, invoicing capabilities will be added to the system.
6.5 - How are taxes handled?
You are responsible for any taxes that may be due on your payment. The amount of any taxes due is considered to be included in the total payment amount offered for the task.
At this time, the system does not calculate or collect any taxes. If your tax authority requires that you collect or pay taxes on such transactions, it is your responsibility to handle this outside of the turn-key translation system. If you are unclear about your tax obligations for the use of this service, you are advised not to use the service at this time.
6.6 - How are the rates determined?
Currently, while the system is in its "beta" stage, pricing is deliberately simplistic as a placeholder for future development. At this time, regardless of job details, the system charges the client based on a fixed per-source-word rate for the provider and a per-source-word transaction fee to ProZ.com. The fixed rate is offered to eligible service providers, who can choose to accept or decline the job.
If there proves to be a demand for the turn-key translation service, a more detailed pricing model will be developed based on real world data and usage patterns.
6.7 - What if the client has complaints about the quality of my translation?
You will be given the opportunity to correct any defects found in your translation. If the corrections are not satisfactory to the client, or if there is any other dispute, it will be resolved at the reasonable discretion of ProZ.com staff. Such resolution may include a full or partial reduction of your payment. See the service provider agreement for details.
6.8 - What if I am unable to deliver the translation on time?
Please alert ProZ.com staff as early as possible if circumstances arise that prevent the agreed upon deadline from being met. If you do not deliver the translation on time, you are not entitled to any payment and the task may be reassigned to another service provider. You may also be excluded from future assignments. See the service provider agreement for details.
6.9 - How is the translator chosen for a turn-key translation? What criteria are used to determine eligibility?
When a turn-key translation order is placed, the system identifies suitable providers based on a variety of criteria and invites a few at a time, in order, until one of them accepts the job. Eligibility and order of preference are determined by criteria such as the following (listed here in no particular order):
* Certified PRO status
* native language
* emphasis of language pair
* reported expertise in field
* current availability and time zone
* track record on previous turn-key translations
* past feedback from this client
* relevant KudoZ points
* etc.
Note that Certified PRO status and ProZ.com membership are not required for eligibility, though they will be taken into consideration when determining the order in which eligible providers are invited.
In the future, the system may provide an option for the client to have more control over the selection criteria.

7 - Turn-key translation - client
7.1 - What is turn-key translation? What's the advantage for clients?
Turn-key translation is a ProZ.com service that helps reduce the overhead costs for short, quick-turnaround translation jobs. Just submit the text and payment, and then receive the translation. The system automatically handles routing the work to suitable translators, delivering the completed work back to you, and paying the service providers.
7.2 - For what type of work is the system intended?
The turn-key translation system is intended for quick translation of relatively short texts. This type of work has been described as a hassle for translation companies, perhaps because the overhead involved in getting the work done may exceed the value to the client. The turn-key platform attempts to reduce this overhead cost.
At this time, only plain text can be translated. Texts in other file formats may be copied into the system, but the non-text formatting is not preserved. In the future, support for additional file formats may be added.
7.3 - How will I receive the completed translation?
You will be notified via email when the translation is completed, and given a link to the order management page from which the translated text can be retrieved.
7.4 - Is ProZ.com a translation agency?
No. ProZ.com provides a platform for clients, translators, and translation agencies to meet and get work done. Acting as an agent for clients is not in line with ProZ.com's mission; both agencies and end clients are considered to be potential users of the turn-key translation service.
7.5 - If I order a translation and find a great translator, can I work with him/her directly next time?
Absolutely. Once you have established a relationship with a ProZ.com translator, you may find it is in your best interest to continue working directly with that person. Nurturing a long-term service arrangement will bring benefits over time, as the service provider will be able to deliver high quality work in a shorter period of time, as he or she becomes increasingly familiar with terminology and information specific to you or your company.
7.6 - What fees are charged?
The quote presented when an order is placed includes the payment that will be made to the translator and a transaction fee to ProZ.com for use of the platform. In some cases, the payment processor you choose may charge an additional transaction fee--this fee will be clearly displayed before you are charged.
7.7 - How is payment handled?
When you order a translation, you deposit the full payment amount in advance into escrow. 15 days after the translation has been delivered, the funds will be released to the provider(s).
7.8 - How are tax issues handled?
At this time, the system does not calculate or collect any taxes. If your tax authority requires that you collect or pay taxes on such transactions, it is your responsibility to handle this outside of the turn-key translation system. If you are unclear about your tax obligations for the use of this service, you are advised not to use the service at this time.
7.9 - Is the translation reviewed by a second provider before being delivered?
At this time, the work is done by only a single translator. In the future, an additional option may be provided to have the work reviewed by a second service provider for an additional fee.
7.10 - What if I am not satisfied with the translation that is delivered?
Submit a complaint in writing to ProZ.com within 7 days after the translation is delivered. The escrowed funds will be placed on hold and a dispute resolution process initiated. If the outcome is in your favor, you can have a refund or a re-translation at no additional cost.

8 - Job notifications
8.1 - Jag får inte några e-postmeddelanden om jobb.
Om du inte får några jobbmeddelanden alls och aldrig har fått några bör du kontrollera inställningarna på din profilsida . Du får inte några meddelanden om:
– du inte har angivit några språkpar
– du inte har angivit några expertisområden
– du inte har valt jobbmeddelanden i dina e-postinställningar.
Om du fått meddelanden tidigare men inte får dem längre utan att ha ändrat något kan det finnas flera orsaker:
– föregående meddelande till dig avvisades och din e-postadress 'stämplades' som dålig (kontrollera personuppgifterna på din profilsida; tecknen 'xxx' har lagts till framför din adress
– det är problem med e-postmeddelanden på ProZ.com. (Gå till sidan med webbplatsstatus för mer information)
– du eller din Internetleverantör har ändrat eller lagt till filtrering, och filtret hindrar meddelandena från att komma fram till dig (detta är ett känt problem med exempelvis terra.es)
Om problemet kvarstår efter att du kontrollerat ovanstående skapar du ett supportärende med en länk till minst ett jobb som du skulle ha fått meddelande om.
8.2 - What is the criteria taken into account for classic jobs notifications?
Classic jobs notifications are sent taking into account the following fields in a job posting, apart from jobs notifications preferences:
# Language pair
# Service type
# Subject Field
# Rates
However, note that outsources may also restrict their jobs using the following criteria:
# Membership
# Account type
# Native language
# Software
# Credentials
# Location
# Specific field
# Expertise
Thus, when receiving a job notification what you are receiving is an alert that a job was posted in the language pair reported in your profile, in one of your fields, within your rates and looking for one of the services you offer. But this is just an alert. To the see the job's details, you must visit the job posting.
8.3 - Jag får inte alla jobbmeddelanden som jag borde få.
När e-postmeddelanden om jobb skickas ut tas följande kriterier i beaktande: språkpar, ämne, översättningsverktyg, geografisk placering, referenskrav och erbjudet pris. Om du inte har fått ett e-postmeddelande om ett jobb bör du kontrollera att dina profilinställningar är sådana så att du skulle ha fått det. Om du är övertygad om att de är det kan du skicka ett supportärende, inklusive webbadressen(-erna) till ett eller flera jobb som du borde ha blivit meddelad om. Supportpersonal kontrollerar då att e-postmeddelandet till dig har lämnat ProZ.com-servrarna. (Om så är fallet kan det bero på problem eller filtrering hos din Internetleverantör eller på din dator.)
8.4 - Varför blir jag inte meddelad om alla jobb i mitt språkpar?
Fastän dina e-postinställningar anger att du vill ha meddelanden för "alla" jobb i ditt språkpar finns det ett antal kriterier som används av systemet för att bestämma vem som ska meddelas om nya utlagda jobb. Uppdragsgivare kan exempelvis ange att de endast vill meddela översättare i ett särskilt land eller dem som har särskilda datorprogram. När du väljer "alla meddelanden" garanterar det endast att du får meddelanden om nya jobb om inte uppdragsgivaren angav någon sådan begränsning.
8.5 - Varför skickas jobbmeddelanden till mig en stund efter att de blivit offentliga? Det verkar vara en fördröjning.
Vissa personer kan lägga ut jobb som visas på en gång. Jobb från andra måste först granskas. E-postmeddelanden kan inte skickas förrän sådana jobb har granskats. Därför kan det ta flera timmar innan du får ett e-postmeddelande efter det att du lagt ut jobbet. När meddelandena skickas sänds de ut rättvist till alla användare. Alla e-postmeddelanden lämnar normalt våra servrar inom 5 minuter.
En annan faktor att beakta är tidsskillnaden mellan olika tidszoner. Alla tider som visas på webbplatsen är Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). Beroende på var du bor kan därför tiden på jobbmeddelandet verka skilja sig från tiden när jobbet lades ut. Men om du tittar på skillnaden mellan tiden som visas på webbplatsen och e-postklienten ser du att e-postmeddelandet faktiskt skickades ut några minuter efter det att jobbet granskades och offentliggjordes.
Om du märker fördröjningar som inte kan förklaras av ovanstående ber vi dig skicka ett supportärende som innehåller webbadressen till jobbet vars e-postmeddelande fördröjdes. Vi kan kontrollera den exakta tiden som meddelandet lämnade våra servrar.
8.6 - What is the RSS feed for jobs?
RSS is an acronym for Really Simple Syndication, a family of Web formats used to publish frequently updated content such as news headlines or blog entries in a standardized format and that allows users to subscribe to it.
A feed reader is client software or a Web application that is used to subscribe to and collect syndicated web content in a single location for easy viewing.
You can track job postings matching your preferences in your RSS feed reader by clicking the orange button in the jobs page to get started (your feed will be based on your advanced search settings there). To see the complete job description and to quote, you will need to visit the full job page using the link in the feed item.
The feed contains the basic information about the job, including the link to the job, the job title and short description, and the job requirements (including language pairs and field of expertise). The feed updates once every five minutes.
You will notice that the URL for the feed contains your entity_id and a unique token that allows you to view job summaries that match your preferences without logging in. You cannot use this token to log in or to access any part of the site. Additionally, the token and feed does not contain any personally identifiable information about the subscriber.
You can subscribe using any news reader that you would like. If you encounter any encoding issues or have questions, comments or concerns, please contact site staff via a support request.
