One Account. Two Sides of the Market.

Most professionals are introduced to freelance platforms in one role. You are either the person looking for work, or the person looking for someone to do it.
Then the line moves.
A designer takes on a project that also needs a copywriter. A developer wins a build that needs a QA tester for two weeks. A consultant lands a retainer that is bigger than one person can deliver. The professional who was being hired last month is the one hiring this month.
On most platforms, that shift means starting over.

Being Treated as One Thing Has a Cost

On a typical marketplace, your account has a side. Your history, your reviews, your credibility — all of it belongs to the role you signed up as.
The day you need to hire someone, you open a second account. You build a second profile. You start from zero as a buyer, even though you have years of delivered work sitting in the other account. Nothing you earned follows you across.
Then the fees arrive from both directions. A commission is taken when you get paid for your work. Another cut is taken when you pay someone for theirs. On the same project, money leaves at both ends.
And there is a quieter cost: two logins, two inboxes, two sets of contracts, two places to check. The work is the same. The overhead doubles.

On ProDoo, Both Sides Live in One Account

ProDoo is built as a two sided marketplace, but not as two separate products. The same account can operate as an iPro, an independent professional who gets hired, and as a Recruiter, someone who hires.
You do not sign up twice. You switch.

What switching actually looks like

In the iPro menu you have Dashboard, Resume, Portfolio, Contracts, Network, iPro’s Toolkit — and Go to Recruiters.
In the Recruiter menu you have Dashboard, Workplace, Find Professionals, Contracts, Network, Recruiter Toolkit — and Go to iPro.
That is the whole mechanism. One click and you are on the other side of the market, with the tools that side needs.

What You Get on the iPro Side

This is the side where you are found and hired.
You build a Resume, and NextStep helps you shape it instead of leaving you with a blank page. You publish a Portfolio that shows the work itself, not just claims about it. Job invitations come to you. When a project is agreed, it becomes a real Contract instead of a conversation in chat. Tictell sits inside your profile so your time and expenses are tracked where the work is happening.
You keep what you earn. There is no commission and no processing fee on your side.

What You Get on the Recruiter Side

This is the side where you find people and hire them.
You create a Workplace for the project, so the work has one home instead of being spread across email threads. You use Find Professionals to search the talent that is already on the platform, and Phillip AI helps narrow that down to people who actually match what you described. You send an invitation, and when the person says yes, you create a Contract. Snapshot gives you visibility into the work as it happens, so progress is something you can see rather than something you have to ask about.
Here too, nothing is taken out of the budget. What you agree is what moves.
If you want the detail on either flow, we have written step by step guides for creating and managing Workplaces and for creating and managing Contracts.

Both Sides, No Fee in Either Direction

This is where one account matters more than it first sounds.
ProDoo has zero commission and zero processing fees. Not reduced fees. Not a lower rate after a spending threshold. Nothing is deducted from the contract value in either direction.
So when you are hired, you keep the full amount. When you hire, the full amount reaches the person doing the work. On a project where you are on both sides — earning from a client and paying a specialist — nothing is lost at either end.
On a platform that charges both sides, the same project loses money twice. That difference is the entire reason people build a zero commission comparison before choosing where to work.

Who This Actually Helps

One account with two sides is not a novelty feature. It matches how a lot of independent work already happens:

• The freelancer who subcontracts part of a larger project instead of turning it down
• The two or three person studio that takes client work and brings in specialists per project
• The consultant who assembles a small team for one engagement and works solo on the next
• The recruiter who also takes freelance assignments between hiring cycles
• The professional who is testing whether hiring is worth it, without committing to a new platform
  None of these people fit neatly into “freelancer” or “employer”. Most platforms make them choose anyway.

  The Practical Difference

  Nothing about this changes the work you do. It changes how much structure you have to rebuild every time your role changes.
  One login. One place where your professional identity lives. Contracts in one list, whichever side of them you are on. A Network section on both sides, so the people you work with stay in one place instead of two address books.
  And when the next project arrives that is slightly bigger than you alone, you do not have to decide between turning it down and starting over somewhere new.

  Before You Open a Second Account Somewhere Else

  If you are already on ProDoo as an iPro, the Recruiter side is not a new signup. It is the Go to Recruiters link in your menu. If you joined as a Recruiter, Go to iPro works the same way.
  Take a look at the other side of your account before your next project decides it for you.
