Two ways to find work

Which one are you looking for?

iince runs two services. Pick the one that fits you.

Apply to open jobs

Browse job ads from companies hiring remote staff, try the task first, and apply to the job you want. The employer receives your application.

The job board is in English.

Get your profile evaluated

Send us your profile once and take short skill tests. We review it and put you forward ourselves when a company is looking for your skills.

What we place

Every role an online store actually needs.

Build

The store itself, how it looks and what it says.

Market

Getting the right people to the store.

Create

Photos and video that make people stop scrolling.

Operate

Everything after the customer clicks “buy”.

How a hire works

From your brief to an introduction in about two days.

You send a short brief. We read it, pick two or three people from our network, and send them with a note on why each one fits. You choose who to meet.

Before anyone reaches your inbox

What we check before we introduce someone.

Every person on a shortlist has been reviewed by a person at iince, for the brief in front of us, not just once at sign-up.

  • Real, live work

    Stores you can click through, campaigns they actually ran, accounts they managed. Mockups alone don't count.

  • Skill tests, not just claims

    Typing, data entry, attention to detail, customer messages and English, taken in the browser when they apply. You see the scores.

  • A conversation

    How they plan, communicate and price their work, and what they do when something breaks.

  • Rate and availability, confirmed

    The numbers on your shortlist are current, so there are no surprises after the introduction.

  • Fit for this brief

    We only introduce people we would hire ourselves for this exact job.

What it costs

One fee, once, and only if you hire.

If you're hiring

A one-time finder's fee.

  • Agreed with you in writing before any introduction.
  • Paid only when you hire someone we introduced.
  • No subscription, no posting fees, no cut of ongoing work.
  • Turn down every candidate and you owe nothing.

If you're a freelancer

Free. Always.

  • No joining fee and no commission on your rate.
  • Clients pay you directly, on terms you agree.

Founder

Doris Firlus

Who runs iince

iince didn't start as an agency. It started because I kept getting asked: do you know someone who can do this?

Running e-commerce stores meant hiring constantly — designers, developers, media managers, ad creatives, the people who actually make an online business work. Over time, the network of freelancers I trusted got bigger than my own projects could use. So I started introducing them to other store owners and agencies.

  3. 3

    You join the network

    We keep your rate, languages and availability on file.

  4. 4

    We introduce you when a brief fits

    Then you and the client take it from there.

Questions

Asked before almost every first hire.

Anything else? Write to us and a person will answer within one working day: info@iince.com

How much is the finder's fee?

It depends on the role and the size of the work, and we agree it with you in writing before we introduce anyone. You pay it once, and only if you hire someone we introduced.

What if nobody on the shortlist fits?

Tell us what was missing and we'll look again, or walk away. Turning candidates down never costs you anything.

Do you only place e-commerce roles?

E-commerce first, not e-commerce only. Most of our network works with online stores, but if you need someone remote for another kind of role, ask us.

Where are the freelancers based?

Most of the network is in Europe and Turkey, and everyone works remotely. We match on language and time zone, not just skills.

Do freelancers pay anything?

No. Joining is free, and we never take a cut of what freelancers earn. The employer pays our fee.

Is the shortlist always ready in 48 hours?

Usually, once we have a clear brief. If a role is rare, we tell you on day one how long it will take.
