HELP for getting help - Some Simple Rules for Hiring the Right People for You
- Ask your network if someone knows someone who has the skill set you need. Social Marketing has made this so much easier.
- Describe the job in detail. An open, direct approach to describing exactly the help you need (and want) will save frustration later.
- Interview everyone. Do NOT be shy - Ask about their experience, training, and availability. If they balk, move on to the next person. Part of their job is to educate you and keep you well-informed each step of the way.
- Get all of their contact information upfront. It should be listed on their site (name, phone, email, street address) and if it's not - why not? You need to be able to communicate through more than an online form.
- Check multiple references.
- Do a test run with a smaller, lower-priced job.
- Finalize the details of your agreement before the job starts (Timing, Fees, Revisions, etc) and DOCUMENT it all.
- Don't hesitate to have them sign a non-compete agreement.
- Do check-in meetings often to be sure everyone is on track and happy. Some projects require daily check-ins, most can meet less often. Meet at least weekly with steady members of your Virtual Team. Everyone must be kept in the loop.
- Always remember that there are hundreds of people out there who could do the job WELL for you. No need to stay with a situation that is not working.
