Outsourcing: 2 programmers left me, 1 ripped me off...

I did. The programmer has good reviews they might be created by himself..

I am sorry to hear about your current situation. As a developer I can give you some suggestion...

1. Treat your developer as a man and describe your project as details as possible. MST of the time I found people not sure what they really need and it makes the project more complex. If possible make screen short for your requirements.

2. Do not ask for frequent changes. It normally happen if you did not cover above point I described.

3. Promise your Developer with some reward so that they work hard to finish your site within a reasonable time frame.


4. Another thing that can destroy you. It is a Commons believe that mor Ethan one developer can finish the work more quickly. But in my experience I found that working with co worker can create son problem with file overwriting and can slower down each member of the team. I know you it can sounds silly but I found it problematic in real project.


5. Don't push your developer to work for a very low price. When they will get good opportunity they might left you. You have to understand that developers from freelancing marketplaces have to pass a very hard life and they work for the lower rate than any of your local developer so if you pay a little more than average rate for your project it can help them a lot and you will get your job done quickly.


I do not enough time now but I think I almost cover everything.
Thanks

I don't exactly know what it is build in. Every programmer used other programming language for it.

Great advice .

Thanks for the tip, but what if they decide to leave you after achieving the first couple of milestones? You still have nothing then..

Escrow service sounds great though .

I'm a coder and I must confess I don't like what you've said. Change Coder for Internet Marketer and you will have the opinion of many people. Fortunately, neither one nor the other are true.

Well,

This depends a lot about the project size, but if it´s not that small, instead of outsourcing or getting freelancers, why not to hire them as your own employees, you will get the following benefits:


1) Higher Loyality rate
2) You can bulletproof the Contract with your employee (defensive clauses for example)
3) You will have always the real contacts of him (phone number, address, etc) and can reach the person easier.

The only downside can be considered the salary, but in the end the higher salary will be a better option than spenting lower amounts of cash for lower quality workers.

I don´t have already enough scale for this, but when i will have it and i sincrerely believe to have it in the near future , this will be my mindset.

Good luck.

I look in the warrior for hire section in the warrior forum, add them on skype, pitch them the idea and feel them out.

I am sorry for your troubles but it is a part of your journey my friend.

Hi Jeremy, I understand your frustration but don't let that incident stop you on finding the best programmer for your team. Take it as a learning experience and address the possible reason why it happened : re-evaluate hiring process, the rate and your relationship with them.

Just wondering where did you get those programmers? With freelancing sites, the best way to evaluate is to check the reviews and ratings of their previous clients.

There are 2 factors why freelancer leave. Higher Rate Opportunity or Its About Relationship. Either way, these 2 should be balanced.

As we all know, investing in the right people generates a greater return of our business.Thus, it is very important to choose the right ones.

Good luck on your search for the right people who can support you all the way.
