Bilingual briefs and bids

Local RMB payments

One contract, agreed milestones

Why we exist

Hard to find. Hard to pay. Hard to hold accountable.

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.

The right people can be hard to reach

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 payment can fail before work begins

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 they disappear, you still need recourse

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.

A few things to know

Before we get started.

More about how it works
Who owns the work?

You do. Every contract assigns the intellectual property in the deliverables to you.

Is my project kept confidential?

Freelancers see the brief without your company name until a contract is signed, and every contract includes confidentiality terms.

How do time zones work?

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.

How do I pay?

By card or bank transfer in USD, EUR, GBP, SGD or HKD, one milestone at a time. Subscription clients can pay on invoice terms.
