Search freelancers filter: Timezone

Hi,


There's a really obvious search filter missing. Only include freelancers within X (3?) hours of my timezone. I'm in Australia and have to go and manually choose a whole bunch of countries every time I search for freelancers to ensure I get people close to my timezone to work with.


This would be a huge time saver.

 

Cheers,

Chris

Hi Federico,

 

Unfortunately, we don't have any new information about this feature. We'll definitely let the Community know if anything changes.

 

Thank you!

+1 more for this. I only care about the time zone candidates are in both when posting a job and when searching. It would make my life so much easier to add time zones options to the location filters.

 

Thanks!

  1. When you post the job you can select the zone. You can select Asia, Australia, America etc. I think it will help a lot.

Same here! Any updates?  I would even like to choose multiple time zones, as I travel.  We are launching in CST, EST would be even better for me time zone-wise, my home is in PST, but I'll be living in Europe for 6 months.  Need time zone search!!!  AND the ability to choose location.  For example, I would like to chose CST - but only Austin or Houston, TEXAS where our launch city is....anywhere in EST...and only Oregon or Washington for PST.

 

Please provide this option + flexibility and multiple selections

Yes please add this feature. I've searched for this feature many times over the years and even requested it once or twice. Cheers!

Hi Clark, 


While we don't have a "Timezone" filter, we do have the location and the language filters you can also use while a timezone filter is not available. 

I'll be sure to sound off this suggestion again with the team to be considered.

Timezone is a critical feature for finding freelancers.  I can filter by location, but for large countries like Canada, that could mean a difference of 5 hours!  I can only imagine trying to sift through results in a larger country.

We will need time zone filters in 2022!! Please!

It's been 4 years and this feature still isn't implemented? It's maybe 40 horus of engineering. Even a "West / East Hemisphere" option would be better than nothing. Throw us a bone would you?
