Make the most of your ProZ Find™ searches

ProZ Find™ is the modernized version of ProZ.com's Classic directory, and you can search for service providers using the same parameters.

However, ProZ Find features some hidden gems when it comes to ordering and making deep queries that just might be what you need in your future searches!

When you search by keywords on ProZ Find you'll be able to find service providers who have actually worked in the areas of expertise you have selected. What's more, if you're a paying member you can even see the matches the deep search has found.

Business members can choose different criteria to sort their results. Instead of the results being ordered by the KudoZ points of each user, Business members can sort by best match, average rating, number of feedback entries received, and more!

If you're a Plus or Enterprise Business member, you can also set your custom search result weighting, which allows to manually adjust the various weighting factors applied to the ProZ.com search algorithm, making each search truly match your needs and preferences.

Now that you know the secrets, why not make a new search and try it out? https://www.proz.com/find

Are you choosing the best service providers for your projects?

On ProZ.com, there are several ways for outsourcers to assess potential vendors and do their risk management before deciding to hire them.

You should be on the lookout for:

Certified PRO Network badge: Being accepted into the Certified PRO Network (CPN) means that the translator has proven to have translation ability, business reliability and good citizenship.

Feedback card: You can check their feedback card to see how their clients feel about the work they’ve delivered and some details of the project (note that some details may be available only to Business members.

Verified credentials: If a service provider's credentials read as verified, that means that a ProZ.com staff member has personally reviewed and corroborated the user's reported education and accreditation.

Verified identity: This is a means to confirm the identity of interested site users to increase mutual trust across the site.

Complete profile with CV: A complete profile (characterized by a green check mark) and a nice, detailed CV usually mean that they have put time and effort into it, and many times that translates into how they tackle assignments.
