hey Guys, I'm just going through some tech issues and was wondering if anyone Outsources any work i.e script set-up etc and if so, what have you outsourced, who have you used and would you recommend them?
hey gspot, while we had a full on in house staff for years, we have switched to using Odesk.com and have for 2 years. Best place to find the MOST Qualified outsourcers for development, marketing, admin work. Jedi
Hey Jedi, I've used Odesk in the past...I have some mixed feelings about it. I had a designer quote me one price he ended up doubling the timeline as well as the budget. Thankfully, I had anticipated that already so it wasn't a big deal. However, if you've specifically used someone you liked PLEASE SHARE:girlshit:
Hi Gspot, depends on what language the scripting is in - if its php I can make a referral. I think Odesk's usability is a function of how serious you are and state from the outset (as well as knowing exactly what you want and outlining it clearly) and hiring people with a PROVEN track record. And not to offend anyone, but I have stopped hiring people from India for development as it has ALWAYS produced subpar work. I head to the Eastern European developers (and Odesk lets you specify WHERE in the world you want to hire from). Hope that helps, Jedi
Yeah, I tend to stay away from India as well. They are excited to get your business at a cheap price, however it comes with loads of headaches. Thanks!
