As a buyer I had a few good experiences finding contractors on Upwork. If “no one should ever use it,” does anyone have a good suggestion for a better place to find good freelance coders for small projects?
Very well vetted devs, excellent platform and framework for managing them, and human customer service at (currently underpriced IMO) $55/hr.
The two apps I’ve used Turtle for:
- React site for my business - Ongoing Node integration work at about 10/hr per week.
(1) Great talent, (2) great customers, and (3) an easy to follow process (platform) are critical for making freelancing work. UpWork typically misses at least 2/3.
Also reach out to your network... I belong to several slack nodes that have channels just for contracts and leads are dropped in there pretty regularly.
