The difference between Good and Great: Hiring Freelance Tech Talent
Talent recruitment of freelancers forms a crucial part of the hiring process these days. This is because they provide a lot of specific skills not available within the firm. 10x Management is the first talent agency dedicated to tech personnel so its founder has keen insights to share on such hiring. The good freelancers produce good proposals and will sell themselves for the offer. The best of them however will demonstrate a path which they will follow, and link their experiences with the task on hand. The said recruitment can be accomplished through various sources, so the employer will need to scan various channels. Open market places like Upwork are the right channel to start with. Curated marketplaces are those which have eliminated the redundant material from the open spaces. These provide better deals than the open ones. Dev Shops are the next level though a little tricky to sort out the best deal. Some Agencies like 10x Management are the right fit, but many others disappoint. The bets of managers not only screen the talent for their experience and background, but for what they can offer to the company. Post recruitment, specific nurturing needs to be provided to freelancers during the onboarding stage so that they get onside to the process.
