Yes! You have direct access to creators through the Creator Directory in your dashboard. You can post a job to attract interested candidates who are ready to collaborate or reach out to them directly through their profile using our built-in messaging system.

Our platform is home to a wide variety of creative professionals — from UGC creators and influencers to graphic designers, video editors, social media managers, creative strategists, scriptwriters, and creative directors. Whether you’re looking for a one-time collaboration, a brand deal, or an ongoing partnership, you’ll find the right fit here. Every creator showcases their portfolio and job badges right on their profile, making it easy to find exactly who you’re looking for.

Creators set their own rates based on their own experience and project scope. CWS does not take a cut, set rates nor manage payouts—you set your own budget and negotiate directly with the creator.

Both Standard and Premium memberships give you full access to the Brand Dashboard, Creator Directory, and unlimited AI Job Builder posts.

The difference is how you use it: Standard is DIY, letting you manage creators and post jobs yourself. Premium includes a dedicated Brand Manager who can set up posts, recommend creators, handle contracts and deliverables, track progress and includes a featured spot & direct link on the creator platform for added visibility.

No — CWS does not take a cut or add fees to creator payments. We simply provide a secure space for brands and creators to connect. Creators set their own rates, and brands handle payments and contracts directly.

Use the Creator Directory to filter by niche, location, badge type, or skill level or post a job in the community with collaboration details. This helps you quickly find creators aligned with your project needs. Premium brand managers get assigned a strategist that is trained for these situations and will help guide you on creator choices that would be a great fit for your brand.

Once you have a membership, you can contact creators through our direct messaging system. You can either post a job or reach out directly via DMs within the platform.

No — creators cannot see your brand or message you first. Your brand becomes visible to creators only when you post a job, run a giveaway, or, for Premium members, feature your brand in a sponsored spot. Once you initiate a conversation by messaging a creator, that chat opens, and you can communicate freely. This setup protects you from unsolicited messages and ensures all creator interactions are controlled by your team.

Our custom AI job builder creates your perfect listing in 60 seconds. Choose your project type, deliverables, and turnaround time, and it generates a professional job post that goes directly to relevant creators. Interested candidates will respond, and you can review profiles to find the best fit.

It depends on your membership. For standard memberships, your brand is not visible to creators until you post a job or giveaway.

Premium members are visible across the creator platform with a featured spot for the duration of the membership, with a clickable link to your website or social account which we set up for you.

Yes. Standard memberships include two additional logins for your team. Premium memberships include three additional logins, one for your Brand Manager and two for other team members.

PR giveaways are for gifting products to creators in exchange for light engagement, like a tagged post or website review. You can set options for what you’d like in return. Job posts are for paid collaborations with specific deliverables, like UGC videos or content you’ll own. Premium members can have a Brand Manager manage either process, including delivery coordination.

Creators select their badges based on the roles they’re open to—like UGC creator, influencer, video editor, graphic designer, etc.

A Pro badge means the creator has been verified by the CWS team, so you know you’re choosing top-tier talent.

You can hire creators for UGC content, influencer campaigns, design projects, creative consulting, and long-term collaborations. The AI Job Builder supports all popular project types for creative marketing, advertising and branding.

Yes. CWS provides the platform, creator access and tools; all pricing and negotiations are handled directly between you and the creator.

Possibly! Featuring your brand in the community via Premium membership, increases visibility to creators who may become loyal customers.

Yes, we offer a 7-day free trial. During this trial, you can set up your profile and explore the AI Job Builder and brand dashboard, but you cannot directly message or hire creators. Full access requires a paid membership.
