Best Place for Freelancers
I've used Freelancer , for example, which certainly has quantity, but not always quantity. My experience has always been one where I'm inundated by people who just spam every job that's on there or, at least clearly haven't even read the project brief and/or posses the requisite skills to begin with. Lots of opportunists, lots of noise, "dear sir I am seo expert many years" when I'm actually looking for a designer and so on. It's really a needle in a haystack to find intelligent, capable and creative people I can entrust my business and its processes to without having to do the whole "Run Forest! / Stop Forest" micro-managment thing which of course defeats the whole purpose of outsourcing to begin with. :rolleyes:
But maybe it's just a question of finding the right outlet, perhaps I'm having these issues because it's like looking for a gourmet dining experience at McDonalds.
How I would love to find some small, unspoiled corner of the web where the really talented and remarkable freelancers are, who can not only speak and read English but can actually write, spell and punctuate it properly too, with a total comprehension of tone and nuance. Freelancers who actually follow instructions and processes to a tee, and understand their significance, people who take pride in what they do and provide an honest day's work for a highly competitive price.
Does such a place exist or am I just living in a dreamworld guys?
Outsourcing provide you leisure time, more profits and reduced costs.
