Innovative and easy platform
Overall I've had a positive experience as a senior Instructional Designer. I was matched to a great project. I like that the client and the talent are both vetted. I've also gotten several other contracts/projects with this same client based on that first one. The platform is very easy to use and I love that hours and invoicing all takes place within the system. Too many clients require old-school invoices or both invoices and time tracking in a separate platform. Learnexus has combined them together and it is wonderfully easy. The only reason I gave four stars rather than five is that it can be frustrating if you apply for a project and then never hear whether they have continued the process or the position has been filled; unless you are moving forward. The positive here is that I've provided feedback directly to Learnexus, and they are aware of the issue and are taking steps to remedy it. One final note- I really like the video intro aspect of the process. You have 90 seconds to give a brief overview of why you are a good fit. You can include nuances about your experience that aren't always clear in a resume or portfolio. This in fact, was something the hiring manager for my first project said helped me win the contract; he heard how I would approach the project and what value I could bring. If used correctly, this can enhance the ID's chances of connecting with a client.
