HIRE VIRTUAL WORKERS WITH ODESK
September 30th, 2009 | by genesower |Finding qualified workers, particularly in the web design and Internet programming space can be a challenge.
With technology rapidly changing it’s near impossible to find people who can do it all.
As an owner of my own Internet marketing business I’m faced with the need for a database programmer one day, someone who specializes in installing shopping carts the next and maybe a Flash developer the day after that.
While I’ve been lucky to hire as much local talent as I usually need (Montclair, NJ is a hotbed of new media talent!) it’s nice knowing a company like ODesk is there to back me up. I used them once about 6-months ago and I was surprised to say it went perfectly. I’ve also used sites like eLance but ODesk actually offers tests that you can ask prospective freelancers to take to see if they really do have the “right stuff”. Plus, you can view a prospects test results given by other people. Cool!
Check out this cool video that explains it all:

Also, if you’re looking for work, OdEsk can provide you with a steady stream of business from around the world. It’s really a freelancers dream as much as an aid to business owners.

Interesting article – I too think that hiring other workers is a great way to leverage their talent and get more done. I personally have used both oDesk and Elance but I prefer Elance’s site the best. I also like the safeguards that they have in place for providers and buyers alike. To me, Elance is the leading online marketplace and a great place to find qualified professionals and a ton of projects.
