Finding jobs at ProZ.com

How are jobs passed?

There are three distinct ways in which jobs are passed at ProZ.com:
(1) Posting a job / posting a quote for a job
(2) Direct contact (outsourcer contacts a language professional)
(3) InstantJobs: outsourcer posts text, prequalified pros are invited automatically

Method (1) is the only visible method of job matching; jobs of the other form are passed privately. Method (2) accounts for about half of all jobs passed.
