Projects are made of real people. The projects you have contributed to probably included more than one person.

A network exclusively made of real people!

worker.ly uncovers people's real skills. Are you confused about what skill translate into 'I.T. Ninja' and 'Graphic Deconstructor'? On workerly.com, freelancer' skill sets are automatically defined based on the projects they contributed to, which makes it easier for you to look for a bona-fide PHP developer or web designer.

Project reviews have a true weight. Being reviewed by your peers and employers is the fastest and safest way to gain a trustworthy reputation. Being reviewed by actual people makes it even better. This is why the most decisive reviews on worker.ly come from users with complete and human-verified profile and projects.

worker.ly is a social network for freelancers - allows freelancers to showcase their portfolio of past projects - allows freelancer to connect with other freelancers they been working with in the past. - the connection key of the social network is the portfolio. If two or more freelancers have cooperated on a project (they have a portfolio item in common) then they are connected.
