The purpose of the Freelancing.hk service is to facilitate a direct contract between the client and freelancer. Historically, less than 10% of agency introductions result in work for the freelancer which is well below the 37% success rate normally enjoyed on Freelancing.hk.

Accordingly, freelancers who pay for the introduction, prefer not to be introduced to contracting agencies. If the contracting agency is serious about the introduction request, they may put in a request and nominate to pay the introduction fee on the freelancer's behalf.
