Apply free, with your profile
Filter by skill and field. Applying is free and short. Sometimes a team will invite you to apply, or ask for a quick call first.
Work through it, step by step
You get a shared space with the team: files, steps and chat. Submit each step; it's reviewed and approved before the next one opens.
Leave with a record
When you deliver, the business can sign a Brief Record of what you did, and for whom. It sits on your public record for your CV and LinkedIn.
What’s open now
How the whole thing worksYou’re a learner on a structured brief. Not free staff.
- A written scope before your application is finalised: skills, steps and hours.
- Withdraw with reasonable notice — no penalty to your account.
- You can always describe the brief, and show the work unless it was marked confidential before posting.
- Raise a concern or dispute through FursaFlow at any time.
- You'll never be asked to do open-ended work, anything outside the agreed scope, or tasks that substitute for a paid role.
Legal protections vary by country. These don’t.
Questions about briefs.
What is a brief?
A real problem from a real business, broken into steps. The business posts it, you apply, and their team reviews each step you deliver.
What's the difference between an Open brief and a Supervised brief?
An Open brief is for when you're starting out: it's unpaid and built around your learning. A Supervised brief is work the team actually needs done, so they bring in an advisor, a senior person paid by the team, who reviews each step. Every brief shows its label before you apply.
Do I need experience to apply?
No. Open briefs are built for people who are still learning. Each brief lists the skills it needs, so pick one that fits where you are now.
How much time does a brief take?
Each brief shows roughly how many hours a week it needs, and for how long, before you apply.
What if I get stuck?
Ask the team in the brief's chat; answering questions is part of posting a brief. For help with how to do the work well, bring it to your mentor.
Do I ever pay to take part in a brief?
No. Applying to and working on a brief is always free. If anyone asks you to pay to join a brief, report it to us.
Who owns what I make?
The business owns what's delivered. You can always describe what you did, and show the work in your portfolio unless the business marked the brief confidential before posting.
