The importance of Delivering Good Requirements to Freelancers
My Freelancing Proposal Mistake
I recently submitted a freelancer proposal on surefirehire.com for the creation of a simple application. I assigned a freelancer to a project based on their bid.
However, I made a small mistake. The mistake was that when I created the requirements, I left out an important detail. The particulars of the detail are unimportant in this illustration. What is important, and a lesson learned, is to be very detailed when defining requirements for freelancers.
- Don’t leave proposal requirements open for interpretation.
- List roles and freelancer responsibilities and employer’s responsibilities clearly.
- Document exactly what you wish for the freelancer to provide
- Even go so far as to document what you don’t want the freelancer to do.
Avoiding This Freelance Requirement Pitfall
A strategy to avoid this allow another person to read your requirements as if they are the freelancer. A lot of time, they will have the same questions that a freelancer may have. Plus, the questions asked will ignite your thought process around the freelancer’s application requirements.
Employers: Price is not the only consideration when hiring a freelancer
If you select a freelancer on price only, other variables in the hiring process may be overlooked.
Building on a previous blog where I wrote about how to set yourself apart as a freelancer, here is another tip to help employers find a freelancer with soft-skills that can’t be measured by monetary valuation.
When you consider hiring a freelancer, several thoughts probably enter your mind. In fact, according to several employers we have polled on “How to Hire a Freelancer”, reliability is a top consideration for hiring a freelancer.
When hiring through surefirehire, where talented experts can be hired, verify their feedback or testimonials if any, to ascertain how reliable they may turn out to be, before hiring a freelancer.
