Step 1: Profile Screening
Our process starts with a detailed review of each candidate’s background. We analyze their work history, industry experience, and skills, setting a strong baseline for freelance success. This first filter checks for the foundational expertise and professionalism needed to thrive in our network.
Step 2: Communication Assessment
Clear communication is critical in remote work. We evaluate each candidate’s English fluency, remote readiness, and ability to convey ideas effectively. Through video or voice introductions, we confirm they’re ready to collaborate smoothly across cultures and time zones.
Step 3: Technical Interview
Candidates who pass the communication assessment enter a role-specific technical interview. This hour-long, expert-led interview dives into their knowledge, problem-solving ability, and adaptability. Each interview is customized by field, ensuring an accurate and relevant assessment.
Here’s what it looks like for different roles:
- Engineering
Software developers complete live coding or pair programming exercises that test their skills in algorithms, problem-solving, and technical expertise. We ensure they’re ready to tackle complex projects. - Marketing
Marketers walk through past campaign results, solve case studies, or analyze mock data, proving they have the strategic thinking and digital expertise to drive meaningful growth. - Design
Designers showcase their portfolios and complete design challenges, demonstrating creativity, attention to detail, and UX/UI mastery. We confirm their ability to create user-friendly, visually engaging solutions. - Product Management, Admin & Other Roles
Product managers tackle roadmap planning and prioritization tasks, while other roles face scenario-based challenges that test their field-specific strategic thinking.
Step 4: Final Review
We review all vetted talent and continually monitor their performance to ensure they meet our quality standards. Once onboard, we do regular check-ins to gather feedback from both sides to confirm expectations are met and act quickly if they aren’t.
