> As an irregular employer of 'talent' on freelancing websites I have come to the opinion that they are all terrible. You find amazing people who can solve incredibly hard problems, but there is no consistent way of doing this. No matter what the job, the pay, the communication, etc it is a total crap shoot if you get a faker who will waste your time or someone competent. I now just hire two or three people at the same time and hope one works out.
Can you not tell from e.g. their portfolio or a short interview?
- danieltillett 10y agoUnfortunately not. I do hire for unusual and difficult projects (i.e. skills I don’t have in house) so this is not unexpected. I have worked with some amazing people over the years so it is not all bad, just very frustrating how hit-and-miss the whole process is. Any freelancing site that can figure out how to solve the ‘faker’ problem will be a massive success.
