What is the correct way to devise a new solution or to refine an existing one? The answer is plain and simple - “correct probing”. The scale of your business (Startup or MNC) doesn’t matter while zeroing out whether your project require a remote agency or just a standalone freelancer.  Ask yourself following questions to determine what will be a better fit for your needs:

• How big is the project?

• What is the longevity (short-term or long-term)?

• Is it simple or complex?

• Does it require freelancers with multi specialty or just core expertise?

• How many resources will be required?

• What (realistic) deadlines need to be set?

• Will it require additional work in the future?

After working on the nitty-gritties and outlining “Scope of the Project”. The next major step is to find the right talent for it.

Either, you can go the traditional route - Post a job on job boards (but you will have to wait for the right talent to find you). Instead it should be the other way around. Plus the hiring process will be painstaking slow and lengthy.

Or, you can simply utilize on-demand talent platforms like HireCoder to access a wide selection of remote coders.  Imperatively, it’s a risk free approach, as the coders go through intense screening and on-boarding process. So, you can be rest assured of the talent you have access to on such reputed platform.

• Will the platform be a cost effective yet a risk free solution?

• What sort of credibility does the platform hold in the market?

• Are you really getting top notch talent in every sense (technical, behavioral and cultural fit)?

• Does the platform guarantee on the stature of work of the available resource(s)?

• Upto what extent the platform can be customized (to make it user friendly) to your needs?

• Is the resource flexible enough to be aligned with your work style?

• Does the platform allow tracking of project deliverables in every stage?
