Common questionsBefore you apply
How and when do I get paid?▾
You log your hours weekly. Once the client approves your invoice (usually within 48 hours), we deposit your earnings via Wise to your local bank every Friday, at mid-market exchange rates.
Do I work for the client or for HireSwiftlee?▾
You contract directly with the U.S. client. HireSwiftlee handles payments, contracts, and dispute resolution — but is not your employer. This preserves your independence and keeps cross-border tax clean.
What if I don't hear back after I apply?▾
Clients see new applications in real time. If you don't hear back in 7 days, your application stays active and we surface your profile to other matching roles. You'll see updates inside your dashboard.
