Advertise your job directly
to dozens of freelancers

Get eyes on your project ASAP

Don't have the time to message freelancers one by one? Tired of applications from people without the right skills, who aren't even local? We've built a system to make connecting with Toronto designers easy to save you time and effort.

How it works

1 Tell us about your job or project

In just a couple sentences, describe what you need a designer to do for you. This isn't a full job post, just enough info to start a conversation. Include details like skills you need (ie: illustration, deck design, animation, etc) programs or software you need them to use, high level timing or deadlines, and your budget. 

2 Send your message directly to designers

No need to worry about algorithms or pay incremental fees just for a few more views. Just submit your details and your project will be in the inbox of all FDD members (that's dozens of local designers) in less than 24 hours. Job emails are sent the morning of the next business day.

3 Start the conversation and get it done

Freelancers can reply to your job listing as soon as it reaches their inbox. Once your message has generated some leads, you can start talking to candidates and narrowing down your options to find the perfect fit and start working. You take it from here!

Frequently Asked Questions

Who can use this?
This system is designed for Toronto and GTHA businesses that need regular or ad hoc freelance design support. This can come from ad agencies, design studios, recruiting agencies, big businesses with regular needs, or small businesses that just need help with a couple things.
Is this a job board? Will jobs be listed publicly?
Nope! This is a private email system just for businessess to connect directly with FDD designers. Jobs and projects are not listed publicly to ensure businesses only get quality, local leads and no spam.
What kind of jobs can I advertise?
This tool is for advertising your graphic design and creative freelance jobs to designers in Toronto, Hamilton, and the Greater Toronto Area. FDD members are graphic designers, illustrators, art directors, motion designers, and more. Take a look at our freelancer profiles to see if this is the right place for you to find the help you need.
Do I need to write a whole job listing?
You only need to write a couple sentences to describe your projects and your creative needs. This is the form you'll fill out. We understand that hiring a freelancer isn't the same as filling a traditional role, and sometimes you need somebody fast. We've designed our system to make finding the right person quick and easy.
What kind of information can I include in my message?
Once you've checked out you'll be taken to a form to fill out. Here you can include the details of your project, specify the skills you need, and general timelines for the project. We encourage you to list your budget too for transparency and more effective messaging.
How will freelancers get back to me?
Your email is included with your message, so freelancers can email you directly. We're not a middle man — once you've sent your message and designers have responded, the conversation is yours to manage from there.
Can I advertise a contract or permanent role?
This system is designed to help you find freelance creatives in a pinch, which is exactly the kind of work our members are ready for and eager to work on. We're not advertising permanent positions at this time, but contract roles (jobs that last a set number of months but aren't full-time permanent positions) make sense for our members and are accepted.
Are there other options for advertising with the FDD?
We always want to hear what the community is looking for. Contact us any time to discuss bespoke advertising or networking solutions.
