Trying to outsource on Odesk. What am I doing wrong?
1) I posted a fixed price job for 100 backlinks and had 10 applicants, but none of them followed the instructions I gave, including writing a secret word, which shows either none of them read the instructions, or their English was not good enough to understand.
2) I then reposted the same job, but invited candidates myself this time focusing on the Philipines as it seems a lot of IM'ers recommend them as good workers. 5 people expressed an interest, but when I asked them all to do a short test to complete as part of the interview process, no one replied (The test only involved completing 3 backlinks!)
Have I just been unlucky? Or is there a better way find suitable candidates?
In America anyone can go straight to the top. And here's what's exciting- It is the bottom that is crowded, not the top.
