Why we exist
Hiring a freelancer in China from overseas means navigating Chinese platforms, payment restrictions, and legal recourse across borders. These barriers can stop a project before it starts, or leave you exposed when it goes wrong.
Chinese platforms and local networks use different languages and tools. Searching in English misses candidates; a blocked messaging app can stop the first conversation.
How ChinaTalentDesk helpsPublish a bilingual brief, review bids in one place, and add paid candidate vetting when you need it.
A local RMB account does not accept every overseas business payment. Recipient verification, supported payment purposes, and transfer limits can block or cancel the payment.
How ChinaTalentDesk helpsPay our Hong Kong entity by card or bank transfer. Our mainland entity handles the freelancer's local RMB payment.
If a freelancer stops replying after a deposit, a contract alone will not recover your money or unfinished work. Pursuing a claim in China adds legal procedures, translation, and costs.
How ChinaTalentDesk helpsContract with our Hong Kong entity, agree deliverables by milestone, and keep agreements and delivery records together.

Let's make a start
A few sentences are all you need to begin. Tell us what you want to make happen.
You do. Every contract assigns the intellectual property in the deliverables to you.
Freelancers see the brief without your company name until a contract is signed, and every contract includes confidentiality terms.
Each brief records the working hours you need to overlap, and the desk matches on it. A daily handover note covers the hours you are offline.
By card or bank transfer in USD, EUR, GBP, SGD or HKD, one milestone at a time. Subscription clients can pay on invoice terms.
