How To Hire A Freelancer: The Basics, and Where To Find One
These days, hiring a freelance tech person like a web designer or programmer is becoming more and more the norm, because its a way to get jobs done cheaply – especially if you’re not skilled enough, or have the time required, to do them yourself.
Although it can be tough to find good, reliable freelancers to work with, there are a few companies that are making the process a little easier. These sites offer services that work a bit like Match.com or eBay for potential employers giving potential employers (you) access to thousands of programmers, designers and techies of all types from around the world. Their profiles usually include things like their rankings, client comments and feedback, their work history, skill level, portfolio and hourly rates.
Here are some of the best places to start your search for a freelancer. All the sites on this list are free for employers to use – they get paid by keeping a percentage of the freelancer’s agreed upon wage):
1. Elance
2. Guru
3. RentACoder
4. oDesk
