There are currently two membership types available: Professional membership (for freelancers and other individuals) and Business membership (for translation companies).
Professional members can purchase one of two available membership packages: the Standard service package, and the Plus service package (introduced in 2016).
Business members can purchase one of three available membership packages: Standard, Plus, and Enterprise Business packages.
2.1 - Ituturing ba akong "miyembro" ng ProZ.com kung hindi ako magbabayad?
Hindi. Ang termino na "miyembro" ay nakalaan para sa ilang mga kukuha ng pag-subscribe sa pagiging miyembro. (Sa simula, ang termino na "miyembro" ay pangkalahatang ginamit upang isama ang lahat ng mga magpaparehistro; sa 2005, ang terminolohiya ay pinalitan upang isalamin ang katotohanan na ang kita ng miyembro ay ginawang posible ang site.)
2.2 - Paano ako magbabayad para sa pagiging miyembro?
Maaari kang magbayad para sa iyong pagiging kasapi sa isa sa mga sumusunod na pamamaraan:
Credit card
Paypal
Tseke o Money Order (mababayaran lamang sa USD)
Wire Transfer
Mga moneybooker
Wallet
1. Pumunta sa Pahina ng Membership Purchase2. I-click ang link na "bumili na ngayon" na katabi ng iyong napiling opsyon sa pagiging miyembro
3. Sundin ang mga tagubilin sa mga kasunod na pahina upang magbayad para sa iyong pagiging miyembro.
Mangyaring malaman na depende kungn aking uri ng pagbabayad na iyong gagamitin, ang iyong katayuan sa pagiging miyembro ay maaaring hindi ma-upgrade sa parehong araw. Halimbawa, kung nagbayad ka sa pamamagitan ng wire transfer, maaari itong tumagal ng dalawang linggo bago namin matanggap ang iyong kabayaran.
2.3 - Magkano ang pagiging miyembro?
"Ganap" na pagiging miyembro ay nagkakahalaga ng 129 usd/ 114 eur bawat taon sa iyong unang pag-upgrade. Upang i-renew nagkakahalaga ng 119 usd/ 104 eur. "Bahagyang" pagiging miyembro (na pinapayagan lang ang pag-access sa mga nauugnay na pagpapaadar sa trabaho o mga pagpapaandar lang na nauugnay sa komunidad) ay nagkakahalaga ng 70 usd at 48 usd , nang naayon. Pareho ang mga gastos sa pag-renew.
Posible rin na bumili ng ganap na pagiging miyembro para sa 6-na buwang tagal ng panahon para sa 80 eur/usd.
Magagamit ang diskwento sa mga gumagamit na kumita ng "browniz" na puntos. Sa ilan na nagbayad ng 4,000 browniz magbayad ng 115 usd/ 99 eur para sa isang taong ganap na pagiging miyembro, o 60 usd para sa isang taong ganap na bahagyang pagiging miyembro. Ganap na pag-renew ng pagiging miyembro browniz ay 109 usd/ 94 eur at 36 usd para sa pag-renew sa bahagyang pagiging miyembro.
2.4 - Kung ako ay naging miyembro, makakaasa ba ako ng kita sa aking pamumuhunan?
Walang mga garantiya, subalit sa kasalukuyan isang mataas ng porsyento ng mga miyembro ang nagsiyasat na mga ulat na nakakuha ng positibong kita. Sa pangkalahatan, halos siyamnapong porsyento ng mga miyembro ang kumita sa loob ng isang taon. Higit sa apatnapung porsyento ng ulat ng positibong kita sa loob ng 3 buwan. Posible ito sapagkat madlas na lumalabis ang halaga ng pagtagpo sa iisang bagong kliyente sa taunang gastos sa pagiging miyembro. (Data simula noong Hunyo 2005)
2.5 - May kaibahan bang nagagawa ang pagiging miyembro sa maaari kong asahang bilis ng pagdating sa akin ng mga bagong kliyente?
Oo. Ang mga miyembro ay apat na beses na mas malamang kaysa sa mga gumamit ng site na hindi miyembro na makakilala ng mga bagong kliyente. Ang pagkakaiba ay lumalaki sa aming paglikha ng bagong miyembro lamang na mga tampok, at sa mas maraming tao ang nagpasya na sumali sa ProZ.com. (Kasalukuyang ratio mula noong Hunyo 2005.)
2.6 - Makakatulong ba sa aking ang pagiging miyembro ng ProZ.com upang makilala ang mga kliyente? Mas mahalaga ba ang aking pagpapatibay / degree?
Ang dalawa ay hindi nagkokontrahan. Sa pamamagitan ng pagiging miyembro, tinataasan mo ang iyong paghantad, sa gayon makita ka ng mga potensyal na kliyente (at iyong mga kredensyal!) mas madalas. Kung anuman, pinatataas ng pagkakaroon ng pagpapatunay at mga degree ang antas kung saan maaari mong pakinabangan ang pagiging miyembro.
2.7 - Bakit binibigyan (ibig sabihin ang mga nagbayad) ang mga miyembro ng kalamangan pagdating sa pagpupulong sa kliyente? Hindi dahil sa nagbayad ka, hindi nangangahulugan na ikaw ay mabuti.
Hindi namin inirerekuminda na ang mga tagapagsalin ay gumawa ng pang-komersyong trabaho na hindi nagbabayad sa paggawa nito. (Pagsasalin para sa di-pinagkakakitaan ay isang pang bagay; hindi namin nakikita lubhang pinsala sa pagsasagawa ng libreng pagsasalin kapag ang ginawa ay hindi mabibili.)
Gamit ang parehong katuwiran, kami sa ProZ.com ay nag-aalok ng maraming mga libreng serbisyo, subalit may hangganan kami sa pang-komersyong pagtrabaho. Karaniwan, pagkahantad bago ang pagbabayad sa mga kliyente ay serbisyo na saan naniningil kami. Bilang kapaliat para sa iyong pamumuhunan, nagsusumikap kaming magtrabaho para sa iyo, at ang mga ipinahiwatig ng istatistika na ang pagiging miyembro ay nagbabayad para sa mga propesyonal na mga tagapagsalin sa anumang bansa at anumang antas ng kanilang mga karera.
2.8 - Bakit mo sinisingil ang mga tagapagsalin para sa pagiging miyembro, sa halip ng mga kumpanya na naghanap para sa kanila?
Kung ikaw ay tagapagsalin, kami sa ProZ.com na koponan ay makikipagtulungan para sa iyo. Titingnan namin ito bilang aming trabaho upang magbigay ng mga tool at oportunidad na maaari mong magamit upang mapalawig ang iyong mga negosyo at pagbutihin ang iyong propesyon. Magsusumikap kami ng husto at dadamahin na nagtagumpay kami sa pagbibigay ng mahusay na halaga at serbisyo sa aming mga miyembro. Ito ay naaangkop at kinakailangan na maningil kami para sa aming trabaho.
2.9 - Paano kung nagpasya akong hindi ako nasiyahan sa aking pagiging miyembro--makakakuha ba ako ng pagbabalik-bayad?
Oo. Nag-aalok kami ng ganap na garantisadong kasiyahan. Kung hindi ka ganap na nasiyan sa pagiging miyembro ng ProZ.com, mag-sumite ng kahilingan sa suporta na kasama ang pamamaraan ng kung saan na ginusto mong matanggap ang iyong pagbabalik bayad at ang impormasyon sa account. Maglalabas kami ng prorated na pagbabalik na bayad, binawasan sa anumang mga kabayaran sa pagbabayad na kung saan kami siningil.
(Halimbawa, kung nagbayad ka ng 120 euros para sa pagiging miyembro ng ProZ.com at makalipas ang 6 na buwan ay nagpasya na humiling ng pagbabalik-bayad, papadalahan ka namin ng 60 euros, hindi kasama ang anumang mga kabayaran sa pagbabayad na aming pangunahing siningil.)
2.10 - How can I benefit from the new automatic subscriptions?
As of 2016, new annual automatic subscriptions are available for membership, when you choose to pay via credit card or PayPal. Opting for a subscription costs less than manual renewals, and you never have to worry about your membership lapsing. You can, of course, stop or start a subscription at any time from your membership management page.
2.11 - Where can I see the status of my membership and subscription?
You can see your membership type, renewal dates, subscription and billing information, and manage details of your ProZ.com membership on the membership management page. To access it, mouse over your name at the top right corner of the site and select the option Manage.
2.12 - I submitted payment for my membership but it has not been activated. What is wrong?
If you submitted payment for your membership and it has not yet been activated or renewed, please submit a support request and provide the following information:
Payment method used
Amount paid (membership item purchased)
Date of payment
Transaction ID
PayPal / Skrill email address and ID (if any of these 2 methods were used)
Bank account holder's name (if wire transfer method was used)
This information will help staff locate your payment and process your purchase.
2.13 - Kung nag-renew ako ng aking pagiging miyembro bago ito mapaso, anong mangyayari sa aking petsa sa pag-renew?
Sa tuwing magbabayad ka sa renewal, o halimbawa, isang promosyon sa software na may anim na buwang na pagiging miyembro, idinadagdag namin ang oras na iyon sa oras na mayroon ka sa iyong kasalukuyang pagiging miyembro.
Halimbawa, kung mapapaso na ang iyong pagiging miyembro sa tatlong buwan at bibili ka ng pagiging miyembro para sa isang taon, ang iyong petsa ng pag-renew ay sa 15 buwan.
2.14 - Can I purchase membership on behalf of a colleague?
Yes. To purchase membership on behalf of other site user, just purchase the membership as if it was for your account and then submit a support request specifying the user ID and the site name of your colleague so that staff can transfer the membership acquired.
2.15 - What is my membership expiration date?
Your membership expiration or renewal date is the date shown when mousing-over your name at the top of site pages.
You can also see information on your membership expiration date in the membership management page.
2.16 - Will my membership be automatically renewed when it expires?
Your membership will be automatically renewed if you chose an automatic renewal subscription when making your purchase. Otherwise, you will have to renew your membership by following the payment steps described in this FAQ. You may also renew your subscription, and subscribe to automatic renewal if you wish, from your membership management page.
2.17 - I would like to purchase or renew my full membership for an extended period. Is it possible?
Yes. Starting 2019, there are multiple-years options available for various membership packages. You can see the different offers in the Membership page.
2.18 - Can I purchase or renew my full membership for less than a year?
No.
2.19 - Can I request a suspension of my membership period if I will not be available for some time?
Requests for membership suspension will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis by site staff. In case of maternity leave, vacation, sickness or mourning, members may be granted the possibility to have their membership period frozen or suspended. However, requests will be evaluated individually and the member may be asked to submit evidence for the reason of the request.
To request the suspension of your membership, simply submit a support request and provide any relevant evidence so that site staff can look into your request further and make a decision.
2.20 - What happened with partial and student memberships?
As of October 2016, partial and student memberships are no longer available. As time went by, these alternative options to full professional ProZ.com membership were being selected by users less and less. For this reason, and as ProZ.com membership has become more accessible, these options have been discontinued.
You can also see each new feature release in the Plus package, view introductory videos, and give feedback on the Plus service package landing page.
3.2 - Will members who choose the Plus package have advantages in the traditional ProZ.com directory over those who choose the Standard package?
Directory ranking will not be affected by which membership package you have-- sorting will still be done with members in the first layer of results (regardless of membership package).
3.3 - What is meant by new client channels external to ProZ.com in the Plus extras?
The internet is going the way of the cloud, and in principle cloud technology presents the opportunity for the ProZ.com team to take steps to promote the services of ProZ.com members beyond the confines of ProZ.com. Imagine an LSP or client using, say, a mobile app to access you directly for translation or interpreting services, without ever needing to go to ProZ.com. Cloud technology makes that possible, and we have been taking steps in that direction.
3.1 - How far along is the effort to establish that sort of new client channel?
Efforts are continuously developing, as it takes time for habits to change. We believe this is the future. What we have seen so far is that client activity at TM-Town is increasing, and separately, there are a few agencies already using ProZ.com cloud and API services to discover the services of ProZ.com members from within their own management systems.
Since 2018, ProZ.com is also in partnership with Boostlingo, connecting interpreters to end clients through their platform. If you are interested in becoming a Boostlingo interpreter, apply to the Interpreters Pool and submit a support request with your relevant credentials, and a ProZ.com team member will get in touch with you.
As new partnerships and external channels become available, ProZ.com will continue to announce them.
3.2 - What external channel-related features have been released so far?
These are all detailed on the Plus service package landing page. From there you can read about each release, view introductory videos, and provide your feedback.
3.3 - The value of the external client connections included in the Plus package is shown as U$D144+. Where does that figure come from?
The value of the external client connections is difficult to quantify at this time. But we can say that membership in one of the external channels alone, TM-Town, costs U$D144 and is included in the Plus package.
3.4 - I already have a paid TM-Town membership. What happens when I buy the Plus package?
Your current TM-Town membership will be synced/extended to match the renewal date of your ProZ.com membership. If you are on a paid monthly plan, your payments will be stopped. If you are on a paid annual plan, you will be refunded the prorated amount of the remainder of your membership period.
3.5 - I am not interested in TM-Town, and the concept of external channels seems too vague to me right now.
In that case, to be on the safe side, you might want to assume a value of zero for external channel.
3.4 - How is the value of the basket of tools from ProZ.com partners calculated?
That is the sum total of the value of licenses confirmed so far to be included in the basket. It is planned that more will be added as the Plus package moves forward.
3.5 - Will more features and services be added to the Plus package in the future?
Yes. Just as the Standard package has been continuously built up over the years, so too will new benefits be added to the Plus package over time.
3.6 - Will most of ProZ.com's efforts be directed at increasing the value of the Plus package, moving forward?
Although decisions of which package to include a new feature or tool in will be made on a case-by-case basis, it is safe to assume that the majority of ProZ.com investment will be made in increasing the value of the Plus package to members.
3.7 - What if I am not interested in some features of the Plus package?
If you are not interested in using a part of the Plus package, no problem, just don't use it. All of the extra services and features are permission-based, allowing you to use what you want, in accordance with your own preferences and needs.
3.8 - Can I upgrade from Standard to the Plus package?
Yes. In checkout, your current membership will be calculated into a discount towards purchase of the Plus package. The discount will depend on the length of remaining membership.
3.9 - Can I downgrade my Plus package to the Standard package?
Yes, you can downgrade to the Standard package, but instead of cash being returned, your membership period will be extended by 25%. So, if you have four months of membership remaining with the Plus package, you can exchange it for five months with the Standard package. Please submit a support request to downgrade.
3.10 - Why is there no money back guarantee offered with the Plus package?
The nature of some of the services offered in the Plus package means that third-party licenses, payments to trainers and other partners may be made by ProZ.com at the time of your membership purchase, and those will not necessarily be refundable to ProZ.com. Instead of a pro-rated refund on your Plus package, you will be offered the option to switch to the Standard package. However, if you are in any way unsatisfied with your Plus package experience, submit a support request, we want to hear from you.
4 - Premium monthly membership (with website and AI tool)
In September 2023, ProZ.com released a new premium monthly option for membership, which includes all of the benefits and tools of the Plus subscription, plus access to your own website and hosting, and your own AI translation tool.
The new premium monthly option is available via a subscription at $25 a month. Considering that some of the benefits included in this subscription (a CAT tool, website and hosting, AI tool, free training courses, etc.) would, if purchased separately, cost around $25 a month each or more, this new option is the best deal that ProZ.com has offered freelance language professionals to date.
4.1 - What does the ProZ.com website service for Premium subscribers include?
As a ProZ.com Premium member you get your own professional website designed by experts, at your own domain, included in the monthly membership fee (website hosting, alone, can cost $25/month elsewhere, and website design may cost thousands).
Ang pagiging pang-Korporasyon na kasapi ay ang isang uri ng pagiging miyembro ng ProZ.com na dinisenyo partikular para sa mga pangkorporasyong gumagamit ng ProZ.com, tulad ng mga kumpanya / ahensya ng tagasalin at iba pang korporasyong tagapagbigay-serbisyo sa wika.
5.2 - Ano ang mga benepisyo ng pagiging pang-Korporasyon na kasapi?
Bilang mga ganap na kalahok ng korporasyon sa nangungunang portal at komunidad ng pagsasalin sa buong mundo, nakakatamasa ng espesyal na pagkakalantad, mga pribelehiyo at katayuan ang mga pang-Korporasyon na kasapi sa komunidad ng ProZ.com.
Bukod pa sa pagkilala sa pamamagitan ng espesyal na pangkorporasyong laso, makakakuha ang mga pang-Korporasyon na kasapi ng komersyal na benepisyo ng pagkakasama sa mga direktoryo ng pagiging pang-Korporasyon na kasapi -- sa parehong mga pang-negosyong bersyon na pampubliko at pampribado. Maaari rin silang direktang mag-post ng karaniwang mga trabaho, nang hindi hinihintay na patotohanan sila, at matatamasa nila ang direktang pag-access sa telepono para suportahan. Ang mga diskwento ay magagamit ng mga pang-Korporasyon na kasapi sa mga kaganapan sa ProZ.com, at sa pag-access rin sa bagong platform ng ProZ.com CONNECT! para sa pamamahala ng pag-outsource at taga-alok.
Para sa buong listahan ng mga benepisyo, tingnan: http://www.proz.com/join?viewPage=corp
Maa-access ito mula sa menu sa pag-navigate sa tuktok sa pamamagitan ng pagpunta sa "Directories" => "Companies".
Ang direktoryo ng korporasyon ay sinusulong rin mula sa direktoryo ng freelancer at bagong platform ng ProZ.com CONNECT!.
5.4 - Mayroon bang anuman sa mga benepisyo ng pagiging isang indibidwal na kasapi ang kabilang sa pagiging pang-Korporasyon na kasapi?
Marami sa mga benepisyo ng pagiging isang indibidwal na kasapi ang kabilang sa pagiging pang-Korporasyon na kasapi, kabilang ang buong pag-access sa Blue Board, mga pagpo-post ng trabaho, mga pagpo-post ng hindi pinatotohanang forum, diskwento sa mga kaganapan, ang karapatan na mag-ayos ng powwows, atbp.* Gayunpaman, ang mga makabuluhang benepisyo lamang para sa mga indibidwal -- tulad ng pagkakabilang sa direktoryo ng freelancer -- ay hindi kabilang.
* Ang access sa mga tampok sa networking, na maaaring makaapekto sa iba pang mga kasapi, ay maaaring mabago o mapawalang-bisa ayon sa paghuhusga ng koponan ng ProZ.com.
5.5 - Ano ang mangyayari sa aking kasalukuyang indibidwal na pagiging miyembro kung ako ay bibili ng pang-Korporasyon na kasapi?
Kung ikaw ay karaniwang nang miyembro ng ProZ.com, mayroon kang dalawang mga pagpipilian sa pagkuha ng pagiging pang-Korporasyon na kasapi: (1) maaari kang lumikha ng bagong profile sa partikular para sa mga aktibidad ng korporasyon, pagbili ng pagiging miyembro para sa bagong profile na ito, o (2) maaari kang magbayad upang maging pang-Korporasyon na kasapi sa ilalim ng iyong kasalukuyang profile. Kung pinili mo ang pagpipilian (2), ang hindi nagamit na bahagi ng iyong bayaring sa subscription ay masasalin sa isang pagpapalawig ng iyong panahon ng pagiging pang-Korporasyon na kasapi.
ProZ.com assigns an account manager to members to help you take full advantage of all business members' benefits and reach your goals.
In most cases, each Business paying member has a Success Manager whom you can contact anytime.
5.8 - Mayroon bang anumang mga kundisyon sa ilalim ng kung anong kumpanyang gustong sumali ang matatanggihan?
Ang kawani ng ProZ.com ay taglay ang karapatang tanggihan ang mga balak maging pang-Korporasyon na kasapi. Ang mga kumpanyang may mababang average na Blue Board na mga entry ay maaaring hindi matanggap bilang pang-Korporasyon na kasapi. Ang pagiging miyembro ay maaari ring matanggihan ang mga kumpanyang may tala ng mga ulat ng hindi pagbabayad mula sa mga tagasalin o interpreter.
5.9 - Sino ang mga miyembro ng site?
Ang mga miyembro ng site ay ang mga gumagamit ng site na may kasalukuyang bayad na pagiging miyembrong subscription
Ang mga miyembro ay may ilang mga pribelehiyo sa networking at tamasahin ang ganap na access sa lahat ng data, lahat ng mga tampok at lahat ng mga kliyente sa site. At nabibilang sila sa site na bumubuti at muling tinutukoy ang natapos na paraan ng pagsasalin.

Note that refunds for payments made by credit card, Skrill, or PayPal will be processed using the method that was originally used to make payment, —credit card payments are refunded to the paying credit card, Skrill payments are refunded to the paying Skrill account, etc. Due to high transfer fees, users who pay via wire transfer (either locally or to ProZ.com's bank in the U.S.) or Western Union will be asked to provide an alternate refund method —in this case, either PayPal or Skrill. ProZ.com may also provide refunds via check for those users residing in the United States.

6.2 - How can I increase views on my business page?
Here are some quick strategies to keep in mind when trying to increase the views on your business page:
Make sure that your Blue Board record and your business page are associated.
Complete as many fields as you can in your page’s business data. Languages, industries, services and country are important for search filters, and information like your logo and your website will increase trust and invite clicks. If you have employees, remember to add their profiles and confirm them.
Be active on ProZ.com: complete your profile (including a good profile picture, tagline and name), give WWA feedback to service providers you’ve worked with, post jobs, recruit service providers using ProZ Find, request entries on your Blue Board record and contact professionals using the directory
Consider buying business membership. Among many other benefits, membership allows your company's logo to be displayed in the Blue Board, and business pages are ranked in the the translation agencies & companies directory based on membership tiers: Enterprise members appear first, followed by Plus, then Standard, and the 40,000+ non-member businesses are listed after the business members. Each tier is sorted by LWA rating.
For more information about increasing your business page’s visibility, you can read this blog article.
6.3 - I'm a freelancer but I also outsource work as an agency/company, do I need to create two different profiles, one for each?
No, you may have only one individual profile which will allow you to edit your business page, post jobs on your company’s behalf, leave WWA entries in service providers’ profiles, reply to LWA entries made to your Blue Board, and all of the activities that relate to your business’ needs. At the same time, you can use this one profile to participate in forums and KudoZ, quote on job postings, position yourself in the freelancers’ directory, and get involved in all of the activities that relate to your needs as a freelancer.
To find out more about setting your account type to represent you as a freelancer and outsourcer, please see this FAQ.
6.4 - What's the difference between a business page and a profile?
A business page represents your business, and a profile represents a person ─as freelancer, freelancer and outsourcer, or owner, employee or representative of a company.
The profile is used for logging in to ProZ.com and performing Business page maintenance, job posting and contacting service providers. Individual profiles may be created for employees of your company, and associated to your Business page, so they can use ProZ.com to post jobs or overview your business activity on behalf of your company. Business pages show all the relevant information about your company as well as your Blue Board rating.
For more information about business pages and profiles, you can read this blog article.
6.5 - Do I need to be a Business member in order to have a Business page?
No, you don’t need to have membership in order to create a Business page. If you want to know how to create one, please see this FAQ.
6.6 - How can I create a Business page?
In order to create a Business page, you must first have an active profile (this is the profile you use to log in to the site, and to participate in the community).
You can create a Business page by going to your Profile updater and changing the account type to “Translation agency/company employee or owner”. As you type the name of your company, the following message will show:
For more information about directories you can read this FAQ section.
You may also request the creation of business page via a support request. Please make sure to provide:
Link to an active profile registered for Translation agency/company employee or owner or Freelance and outsourcer which will be affiliated to this Business page.
All the necessary information about your company such as: company name, email, complete address etc.
6.7 - Can I have a freelancer profile and also a business page?
If you have a freelancer profile for yourself and also outsource jobs on behalf of a company, choose the account type “Freelancer and outsourcer” in your Profile updater and save the settings.
6.8 - What happens to my company profile now that there are business pages?
Your business page will be used to represent your company. Your profile is necessary to manage your Business page, post jobs, leave WWA entries for Service Providers you’ve worked with, reply to LWA entries on your Blue Board, and other site activities, but it should represent you as an individual ─employee, owner, representative of your company─, and not your company.
6.9 - Who can edit my Business page?
Any employee that has been affiliated with your Business page and who has admin rights can edit it.
You can add employees to your Business page by clicking on the “Add employee” button located at the top of the list of employees on your Business page.
6.10 - How many profiles can be created for employees of my company?
Each individual employee or representative of your company can have a separate profile.
If you have purchased a Plus or Enterprise Business membership package, you can claim two ProZ.com Professional Plus memberships for personal profiles that entitle the holders to hundreds of hours of free training video.
After the creation of these profiles, you can affiliate them to your business page by clicking on the “Add employee” button located at the top of the list of employees on your business page.
6.11 - How can I associate a profile for an employee of my company to my business page?
You can add employees to your business page by clicking on the “Add employee” button located at the top of the list of employees on your Business page.
6.12 - Why isn't my company profile showing my company’s average LWA?
Your company’s average LWA, along with your Blue Board record’s most recent entries and other relevant information, are now visible on your business page. Your business page is separate from your company’s Blue Board record, and the profile that you use for logging in, maintaining your business page and using the site’s other features, like posting jobs.
This change was introduced along with the new business pages. They are different from the company profiles that were used in the past. The advantage of business pages is their new design planned with the needs of businesses in mind.
6.13 - Why does my profile show that I'm an employee of my company?
This is just a designation that let visitors to your profile know that you are affiliated to a certain business and that you may be using the site on that businesses’ behalf. For example, if you post a job, it will show that you have an affiliation to your company.
6.14 - My profile shows an affiliation to a company I have no relation to.
6.15 - My Business page has a Blue Board record for a different business associated
If your Business page has been associated with the wrong Blue Board record, please submit a support request.
6.16 - How can I post jobs on behalf of my company/agency now that my company profile is a Business page?
The job posting process is the same. When you use the system to post a job while logged in, you need to select the option “I represent a company” in the Representation section of the form, and your business page will be automatically associated with the form.
6.17 - How can I merge my freelancer and company’s profiles?

6.25 - Do I need a username and password to edit my company's business page?
Business pages are edited by authorized administrators.
Business pages are managed by administrators that are logged in to their individual profile with employee status and administrator permissions for the business.
To manage your business page, login to your ProZ.com profile and navigate to the business page. If you don't have appropriate administrator rights you can send a request for admin rights by clicking 'claim.'
6.26 - Can I keep my freelancer profile and status if I'm an employee listed on a business page?
Yes, you can have a business page for your company and still use your individual freelancer profile.
ProZ.com business pages are separate from your individual profile. If you are the owner or employee of the business, when you quote on jobs you will have the ability to quote either as an individual or as an agent of a company which you represent. Being an employee or sub contractor to a business will not prohibit you from representing yourself as an individual.
