Reputation System
Reputation level of an employee allows accessing varieties of jobs that he can apply on the platform. Reputation level of an employer permits access to various talent pools available over the platform.

2. Weighted Average Rating System – 25 Points
Employee and Employer can be rated only after completion of the contract hence no unreliable ratings are given to the employee and employer. The reputation of an employer or an employee rating is going to influence/affect the rating given. Example: Employee Rated by Employer
| Company | Tier | Employee Rated |
| ABC | 5 | 5 |
| XYZ | 2 | 1 |
| Weighted Average Rating | 3.85 | |
Weighted Average Rating = (5*5 + 2*1) / (5+2) = 3.85
If the employee is rated by the average rating system then they get a rating of 3 points whereas, in the weighted average rating system, the rating is 3.85 because the rating given by the higher tier company is more valued than the rating given by the lower tier company.
Example: Employer Rated by Employee
| Employee | Tier | Employer Rated |
| U | 5 | 1 |
| V | 1 | 5 |
| Weighted Average Rating | 1.7 | |
Weighted Average Rating = (5*1+1*5) / (5+1) = 1.7
If the employer is rated by the average rating system then they get a rating of 3 points whereas, in the weighted average rating system, the rating is 1.7 because the rating given by the higher tier employee is more valued than the rating given by the lower tier employee.
3. Arbitration Rating- 25 Points
Freela platform provides 25 points of arbitration rating on the reputation scale of every user to begin with. When an employee or an employer goes for an arbitration, then the arbitration rating goes on decreasing. Involvement of an arbitrator reduces the rating score of an employee. Freela Platform strives for conflict free contracts and encourages not having any arbitrations and using the platform for completely free.
4. Tokens Staked - 25 Points
As with any country and token economics, when people/users earn and save what they have earned, they indirectly help the respective economy/currency by affecting the supply-demand equations of its currency. So when users stake their tokens on the Freela platform in various available staking pools, they are contributing to the Freela economy and Freela token value and in return the platform provides them with some reputation that can be pivotal in their success.
Number of tokens needed to be staked to earn 5, 10, 15, 20 or 25 pts from this section will be decided by the DAO as required
