Freelancing in Berlin

    Hey Paul, I also started freelancing in Berlin at the beginning of this year. My experience so far is that you should avoid the two-three large "creative" recruiting agencies. They usually just provide you with jobs at mediocre agencies and focus on a quick placing rather than finding the right fit for you and the company. Personally, I got the best jobs through my personal network, ex-colleagues or people I meet at some networking-events. In that sense Berlin is quiet small and you always bump into the same people and a lot of jobs are offered by personal recommendations.

    Some links that might help you:

    www.functionalaesthetics.eu - a quiet nice freelancing network www.berlinstartupjobs.com - product jobs http://de.indeed.com/ - set up a search und subscribe to it. There are usually 3-5 new jobs (even-though most of them are contract) www.uxjobsberlin.com - my personal list that i update a few times a week

    Are you looking for agencies, startups or both?

      Thanks Nicolai,

      I'll check out the links. Most of my background is agency but I'd love to work with some more start-ups here too. My main aim is to get to a point where I can get the work that excites me and that make me a better designer.
