Look through our Creator Profiles, which showcase our creators and previous work they’ve done.
Searching for a Creator through our Marketplace
If you’re not sure where to start, Glimmer offers the ability to search our entire collection of creators that have signed up onto our platform. To begin your search, navigate to the My Network card on your Dashboard or the People tab on your top navigation bar. Once there, select the Search tab, where you will be able to browse our database of creators using a few different filters such as:
Name - Search for your desired creator by name (we recommend using First and Last name for a more accurate search).
Service - Browse creators by the services they have listed on their profile.
Location - Filter by location to see who is currently available in that area.
Max Rate - If you have a set budget in mind, enter the max rate you'd wish to pay (on a per day basis)
Past Hired - Filter by creators that you've previously worked with
Saved - Filter by creators that you've saved (which can be done by clicking the save icon on a creator's search result card)
Remember, you can do a variation of filters to narrow down your results, such as searching by Service + Location.
Once you click search you'll be shown those that match your criteria. The search results will appear as snapshots of creator profiles, serving up a variety of information. These include services they provide, their last seen location, a list of their industry experience, and any other relevant details. We'll serve up one of their work samples that best matches your search criteria, which is viewable by clicking the thumbnail. Additionally, clicking the card itself opens up a creator's profile which let's you view an assortment of information such as:
Verified Services - These are services that are tied to a verified work sample. You can read more about verified services here.
Additional Services - Offered creator services that do not have an associated verified work sample.
Worked With - A complete list of past clients the creator has worked with
Reviews - A list of all on-platform reviews a creator has received for projects done on Glimmer. This is broken down by service.
Projects - A complete list of projects completed by the creator. These may or may not have viewable work samples tied to them.
Additionally there are several actions you can take on a creators profile.
Request a Quote - If this creator is not in your network (which you can read more about here) then you may request a quote from them. This is the same workflow as directly hiring a creator, only instead of offering them an amount you send your creative brief and they will provide you with a quote for how much it will cost. You can always negotiate the price with the creator if you deem it necessary.
Hire - If this creator is in your network then you can send an offer with your creative brief and hire them directly.
Invite to Posting - If you have an existing posting that you believe this creator is suitable for, you can invite them to apply.
Message - Start a private conversation with the creator.
Save - Add them to your Saved network of creators so you can easily find them for a future project. You can access your saved creators by selecting the Saved checkbox when searching for creators in the "Find Creators" section of the People tab.
Block - Block all future communication with this creator.
