After posting a number of jobs on freelancer.com I eventually found a guy for our content in the Philippines who was amazing and very cheap.
Id say try freelancer, odesk, etc but be very clear about what you want and expect to test out a lot of people with small tests before you find someone who is good. Once found get them on it fulltime for a few days or weeks until its done.
A great trick is to hide in the spec you give them a sentence that asks them to bring X up, this way you can tell if they read it or not.
- smartwater 14y agoI've never given a spec to someone and needed to trick them into revealing whether they actually looked at it or not. That says a lot about outsourcing.
- ready_set_go 14y agoIt's unfortunate but it works, I actually picked it up from working at a Bank where the guys implementing the tech specs we wrote never read them correctly. These were in house guys making big bucks, arghhh At the end of the day people matter, I use outsourcing for minor tasks to save a few bucks and keep great people around for everything else.
- tzury 14y agoYour answer has nothing to do with my question. Your account has been opened 2 minutes ago. I suspect you simply wanted to put freelancer.com in here - I suspect you are a spammer.
- ready_set_go 14y ago1. "Your answer has nothing to do with my question." You asked what I did, I posted jobs on freelancer and odesk, eventually freelancer worked out. 2. "I suspect you simply wanted to put freelancer.com in here - I suspect you are a spammer. I mentioned multiple sites..... Yes I am new to HN but calling me a spammer for trying to help YOU is a bit harsh.
