About 3lanse
3lanse is a UK freelance business and recruitment platform, starting with construction, engineering and technical professionals. Freelancers (3lansers) find work and run their business with profiles, digital CVs, invoicing, client and project management, document expiry tracking, a PQQ and an IR35 checker. Hirers and recruiters (3seekers) find and engage freelancers directly, with no finder's fees. On the Pro plans, Aidmin, the 3lanse AI assistant, helps with the admin.
In short
What it is: a freelance business and recruitment platform with a built-in AI assistant. It runs in a browser and in the 3lanse app.
Who it's for: UK freelance professionals, starting with construction, engineering and technical roles such as project and site managers, quantity surveyors, planners, engineers, temporary works and health and safety professionals, and the contractors, consultancies and recruiters who engage them.
The names: a 3lanser is a freelancer on 3lanse. A 3seeker is a business or recruiter hiring on 3lanse. Aidmin is the 3lanse AI assistant, included on the Pro plans.
What it isn't: 3lanse is not a recruitment agency or an employer. It takes no finder's fee and no margin on day rates; freelancers and businesses agree terms directly. It isn't accounting software, an insurer or an accreditation body.
What it does
For 3lansers · 3lanser Free
A 3lanser's profile records their disciplines, experience, qualifications, accreditations, trade skills, day rate and availability, and can be downloaded as a PDF CV. You can fill it in by uploading an existing PDF or Word CV: 3lanse reads it, you check the details, and the CV file itself is not stored.

3lansers browse jobs posted by 3seekers and apply in one tap. They can reply to 3seekers and accept interview invitations, and set their work status to available, available in the coming weeks, or not available.

3lansers store insurances, qualifications and cards with their expiry dates, and 3lanse flags documents that are close to renewal. The automatic 3lanse Compliant check confirms that the core profile is complete and in-date insurance is recorded. 3lanse tracks dates; it does not provide insurance.

3lansers keep their clients, several projects per client, the days they work and their mileage in one place. Tasks and a calendar show deadlines, invoices due, document renewals and interviews together.

3lansers create invoices, pro formas, credit notes and statements with their own logo, bank details and terms. Invoices support standard, reduced and zero-rated VAT and the construction domestic reverse charge, with the correct wording added. CIS deductions are not calculated on invoices. Invoices can be created, previewed, shared and emailed on the website or in the 3lanse app, from the same records.

3lansers complete one prequalification questionnaire covering experience, qualifications, insurance, health and safety and business standing. A 3lanse reviewer assesses it against defined requirements and gives written feedback; accepted PQQs earn the gold PQQ Compliant badge. It is a 3lanse review, not a third-party accreditation.

The IR35 checker walks a 3lanser through the factors that matter for each client engagement, highlights risks and saves a dated record. It is guidance to help you understand and record your position, not an HMRC determination or professional advice.

Members connect with each other, message, start group chats and post on the Hub. Messaging opens once two members are connected, so each member decides who can contact them.

3seekers post jobs and Need Someone requests, search 3lansers by discipline, location, availability and rate, view full profiles, receive applications, shortlist and send interview invitations. 3lanse is not an agency: it takes no finder's fee and no margin on day rates, and each engagement is agreed directly.

Aidmin works inside your own 3lanse account from plain-English requests. For 3lansers it creates clients and projects, prepares and sends invoices, logs days and mileage, scans receipts into expenses (reading the supplier, date, total and VAT for you to check), manages the 3lanse calendar with reminders, drafts messages to people you can already message, applies for jobs and prepares monthly and yearly reports for an accountant. For 3seekers it finds matching 3lansers, summarises applicants, drafts messages and prepares interview invitations. Anything that changes a record or contacts someone waits for your confirmation.
