It makes me wonder if there is space in the market for a freelancing website that has minimum rates and does some more vetting, or referencing as we might call it in the real world.
Ditch the credit card nonsense and make people pay by bank transfer, like real agencies would. It sounds like a product I would use. I have a need for Freelancer style services, but I don't need to have to vet people and read reviews, thats what agencies are for. I want the service that I get from my local contractor agency, but availability for small projects rather than long contracts.
- crevizniq 9y agoThere is one: https://www.toptal.com https://www.toptal.com
- jimnotgym 9y agoDoes anyone have experience of working with them as a contractor?
- jrgnsd 9y agoI've done a couple of contracts through them. For the most part it's beem a good experience. They try to vet the clients as well as the coders / talent, but it's not perfect process so sometimes a dud falls through the cracks. They do have solid procedures for both the client and freelancer to follow if either party isn't happy, which includes the person who set up the engagement initially. Much better than the other sites.
