Hiring a freelancer for the first time
Four steps, one guide each: decide, brief, choose, accept.
Step 1
Before you hire
Deciding what to hand over first and whether it is worth outsourcing at all.
Step 2
Writing the brief
Turning a vague wish into a brief a freelancer can quote and build from.
Step 3
Choosing tools and people
Comparing approaches and reading a seller profile before you order.
Step 4
Acceptance and handover
Testing what you received, owning the accounts, and pricing maintenance.
