There are many ways that a company or an individual can get the labor to carry out a particular task. One of the commonly increasing options is by opting for freelancers. Freelancers are individuals who work remotely and be employed through the Internet, majorly through Freelancing websites. They could help with jobs that could be carried out remotely. Daily, hundreds of thousands of jobs are given out through freelancing platforms and millions of dollars paid for freelancing services offered. This article will discuss why a lot of companies and individuals prefer to hire freelancers.
Cheaper services
A major reason why a lot of companies and individuals prefer to hire
freelancers is for cheaper services. When you are hiring an individual or
company in your locality for a particular task, you are bound by a lot of rules
including minimum wage. Furthermore, the company or individual you want to
employ will give you their price and you would either have to abide by it or
continue searching. On freelancing platforms, you have the option of deciding
how much you want to pay and request only those who are okay with your budget
to bid. This way, you could pay lesser than you would have been paying if you
had employed locally.
Quality services
A lot of freelancing platforms such as Fiverr
put in a lot of measures to ensure that freelancers working on their platform
deliver quality jobs. Prominent among those measures is the fact that payment
is only concluded after the customer is satisfied with the job done. Another
measure is the fact that employers can leave reviews for employees. Thus, the
need to collect their payment and maintain a positive review so that they can
get other clients forces freelancers to deliver quality services. Freelancers
would be willing to do a thorough job and even do reviews and corrections for
free so that you can release the milestone or escrow
you have created for them and also give them a positive review. A lot of
employers have indicated that they get better services from freelancers than
when they employ locally in terms of quality of job delivered, willingness to
make corrections and speed of job delivered compared to when they employ
locally.Easy
and fast to get freelancers
The ease and speed with which employers can get
freelancers is another factor that attracts them to freelancers. It is possible
to create projects where you indicate in our instructions that you need the job
done within the next 2 hours. In less than 5 minutes of posting your jobs, you
would already have freelancers who are willing to do your job based on your
timing and your budget bidding. You also have the opportunity as an employer to
go through their profile, ask for the previous job and conduct interviews to be
sure they are capable of doing the job and delivering it as promised before
giving them the job. Thus, you could employ a freelancer(s) in less than 10
minutes after creating a project.
