Dribbble
Where designers show work and get hired
Dribbble is the portfolio wall the design world actually looks at, and the hiring side of it lets you post a job free and pay a small percentage only when a project completes. Subscriptions exist for anybody hiring often enough to want to approach people directly. Designers list their own hourly rates in public, which makes it one of the few places you can price a job before writing the brief.
Our note
The free tier with a small completion fee is the right entry for almost every creator, and the subscriptions only pay off for regular hiring. Where this beats a general freelance marketplace is that the work is on display before you talk to anybody.

Working Nomads
A remote job board with a paid tier
Working Nomads collects remote jobs across fifteen or so fields and mails a daily digest for the categories you pick. The public board is free and shows a subset; the subscription opens the rest along with filters and no advertising. For a freelancer between contracts it is a cheaper habit than most job boards charge for. Employers pay to post, which is the other half of the business.
