FAQ
Things people ask
How fast is the first match really?
Most matches arrive in under an hour. Complex briefs (niche aesthetic, rare medium, tight timezone) can take up to 24 hours.
What if the match isn't right?
Just tell me. I'll send another, free of charge, until you find someone who fits. There's no penalty for saying no.
Who pays whom?
You pay the freelancer directly at their agreed rate. No bidding wars, no hidden margins on the work itself.
Are there platform fees on the work?
We don't charge any fees, and we provide a free trial so you can run Howdy commitment-free. If you want to keep using Howdy after your first hire, there's a monthly subscription that gives you access to premium tools and hiring.
Can I rehire the same freelancer for a new project?
Absolutely. Message me with what you need next and I'll loop them straight back in, no re-vetting required.
What roles do you actually cover?
Brand and product designers, video editors, motion artists, illustrators, animators, copywriters, content strategists, and most adjacent creative specialists. If you can describe the role, I can probably find it.
