Ask HN: How do you validate freelancer identity?
When hiring direct freelancers/development mainly. Without using something like Upwork or toptal how do you validate identity? I’d like to move away from these marketplaces but I’m curious how others reliably take on the direct risk?
- BjoernKW 8y agoSame as with any business: By having a look at their website and other publicly available information (e.g. their GitHub profile).
