I am a new client; do you have any starting suggestions?
Thank you for choosing TaskShift, and welcome to our community. We would like to list out some key pointers so you can draw attention from the right partners and have a pleasant experience outsourcing your business processes.
Browse the marketplace. We have offers published in our marketplace from freelancers all over the world. It could be very overwhelming when browsing through so many offers. We suggest you browse to the category or search for the service you require to see all the relevant offers.
Choosing an Offer. Before buying an offer, read carefully what is included in the offer and check reviews/ratings and the portfolio of the freelancer. This will give you an idea of what to expect when working with a particular freelancer, and it is very simple to compare services.
Communicate your requirements & budget. When buying an offer, make sure to communicate your requirements clearly to the freelancer and also that you have had a discussion about the price to avoid any surprises. You can have a discussion with multiple freelancers to get a market check before you decide on placing an order.
Allow enough time for offers. If your project is not urgent, do not rush and allow the freelancer to deliver quality. Remember that the top service providers are usually the busiest, so you might lose some of the top talents if you set the offer time too short.
How do you ensure the quality of your platform?
We take the quality of service providers and services very seriously. Giving reviews is mandatory after every project. It helps us monitor the service quality of every service provider. To maintain the highest standards of services, we remove service providers with 3 stars or below ratings.
To be equally fair with both the parties, we also filter out clients with 3 stars and below ratings.
