When recruiting, doubts about work can exist on both sides. You may wish to know more about a particular person or else a freelancer may need to know more about the job to provide you with his best estimate. Therefore two-way communication becomes important.

 

 

  1. Always look for samples of work

 

Attached work samples can really simplify the hiring task for you. Freelancers who attach sample work and projects are more confident in their respective skills.

  1. Check for professionalism

 

Checking for professionalism requires detailed research and a keen eye. C:\Users\Rahul\Documents\Rahul\Career\freelance\TrueLancer\Dipesh Garg- Founder Trulancer\Content Marketing for Truelancer\Articles\4profc.jpg

Look for people who are firm and formal in their proposals and those open for discussions and negotiations.

Such people are more professional in their attitude and tend to follow terms and conditions such as delivering work on time, keeping the required format etc.

 

  1. Don’t rush into making decisions

 

Don’t just go ahead and give the job to the first person who responds to your post. There is very less probability that you will get the right employee at the go. So do not take any chances because your work and its quality is significant and cannot be compromised.C:\Users\Rahul\Documents\Rahul\Career\freelance\TrueLancer\Dipesh Garg- Founder Trulancer\Content Marketing for Truelancer\Articles\rushd.jpg

Be patient and keep looking until you are certain about your decision.

 

 

 

 

 

  1. Confirm all the gathered information

 

Once you have made a choice be sure to have a background check.C:\Users\Rahul\Documents\Rahul\Career\freelance\TrueLancer\Dipesh Garg- Founder Trulancer\Content Marketing for Truelancer\Articles\check.jpg

This can be done by looking at past work and social profiles such as LinkedIn and Facebook. This will give you a rough estimate about the person’s credibility and experience and increase your confidence.

Once you are completely sure about the candidate, go ahead and start a work stream.

At Truelancer, the process of job posting and further negotiations has been simplified by the proposal and discussion platforms created to provide a communicative interlink between the employer and the freelancer. Hence, by being alert and exhaustive in your recruitment process you can certainly find the correct person and get quality work done at the best prices possible.
