In recent years there is a change in the way people see their works, which is evaluating ever since, from middle age till nowadays. With invention of internet, and especially with mass adoption, outsourcing became a new way to doing business that can be done from the office and online. Companies from developed countries engaged companies from emerging and developing countries, to lower their expenses and improve competitiveness on domestic markets and worldwide. Outsourcing evolution was interesting, since hiring individual from emerging country was cheaper than to have an arrangement with a company, companies started to hire outsourced individuals from emerging countries for jobs that could be defined and done within certain time frame, but not usual working hours. For jobs that required work hours, like IT support and similar, hiring a company is still preferred solution. This trend was recognised by inter-mediators, and freelance website started to emerge, to offer connection between companies that are hiring people and people that need job. Evolution brought grades for freelancers, according to their previous engagements, skill testing on the freelance website to prove their knowledge, previous work dashboards, where former employeers could provide their reviews of freelancers, but also freelancers could provide employeer review and similar. One issue that was always in the game was payment schedule, and escrow payment proved as one of the best solutions to tackle a problem, but there was always an issue regarding job done and conflicts that could arrise from misunderstanding between employer and freelancer.
Blockchain is offering solution with smart contracts that could be deployed to have payments based on mutually agreed milestones, and lower number of conflicts between employer and employee in freelance contract.
