Field Nation charges a company to advertise on their platform for services needed (generally IT related). I know from professional relationship with one of their former buyers, that amount is excessive. The companies involved then usually pay a freelance technition a much smaller amount to perform needed services. Field Nation then ALSO charges technition for "tax, service fee, and possible penilties".
Should a company refuse payment to technition, Field Nation does nothing to enforce technitions Federal Right to payment. Field Nation and the companies that use them all have long winded "agreements" that state all kinds of conditions to refuse payment.
I have been burned by two companies on this platform in four years. Not a lot in comparison to other techs in the field, but enough to warn others of the risk you take when accepting assignments through Field Nation. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice…
