How to Hire a Freelancer

Hiring is always hard. There're lots of risks involved. The person may not know enough to deliver. He or she may have a bad attitude and more.

In this article, we'll look at the steps to hire the person online.

Prerequisites

You have to determine the work you want to get done and the price that you're willing to pay.

Finding the right person for the right price is easy with sites like Tychoo or Fiverr since they're listed right on the freelancer's profile.

Also, you got to see what they can do before signing up for these sites and reaching out.

Milestones and deliverables must be clear so whomever you hired will do what you want them to do.

The length of the contract also needs to be determined so that you won't have to pay for extra freelancing time that you don't want to pay for.

Step 1 - Sign Up

Sign up for a freelancing like Tychoo or Fiverr to find the freelancers that you're looking for. Browse for the person with the skills you want, and then reach out.

Step 2 - Reach Out to the Person You Want Directly.

Reach out to the person that you want to hire and interview them. You can do that with chat and video conferencing.

Step 3 - Interview

Book an interview and chat with them. Also, give them some tests.

Listen to what they say, check their test answers, and see if they're a fit for you.

Step 4 - Assess Their Knowledge and Personality

Think hard comparing what you want and what they can give according to your communication between you and them.

Step 5 - Hire the Right Person

You don't have to hire right away. There're lots of freelancers on Tychoo and Fiverr. You can also turn people until you find the right person for the job.

Even after you hired someone, if he or she isn't a good fit, you can find someone else on Tychoo or Fiverr.
