The purpose of the Freelance-Market service is to facilitate a direct contract between the client and contractor. Historically, less than 10% of agency introductions result in work for the contractor which is well below the 37% success rate normally enjoyed on Freelance-Market. Accordingly, contractors who pay for the introduction, prefer not to be introduced to contracting agencies. If the contract agency is serious about the introduction request, they may put in a request and nominate to pay the introduction fee on the contractor's behalf.
