GET: /freelancer-matches

Get a list of freelancer matches for freelancers that match a set of criteria.

ProZ.com members are returned first. After the member result set has been exhausted, non-member results are returned. Within the member and non-member result sets, freelancers are ordered according to a ranking algorithm which attempts to return the best matches first, by considering factors such as relevant KudoZ points, feedback, credentials, self-reported levels of expertise and specialization, etc.

A maximum of 1000 freelancers will be returned for any given set of criteria.
