Where to Hire a Programmer

Would you like to hire a programmer at low cost ?

Many qualified programmers in India and Russia get about 70 $US per week. Salaries and prices in these countries are very low. By local standards $8/hour is a lot of money but this is very little by the US or European standards.

That is why many qualified programmers in India and Russia are happy to be hired at "low" cost. The cost is actually not low for their countries. Some of such programmers are freelancers - their living actually depends on one-time projects.

Where to hire a programmer ? Thousands of programmers are looking for one-time job at vWorker™ (formerly known as «Rent A Coder»™). You can hire an individual programmer, team of programmers or a firm specializing in outsourcing.

vWorker™ has the following advantages:

1. It is absolutly free for customers - no service charges, no finders fees.
2. Projects are posted as open auctions. Usually you get 5-6 qualified bids within 24 hours.
3. You have a big choice of programmers. Thousands of programmers are regitered at vWorker™.
4. You outsource your project at low cost (competetion between programmers is very high).
5. You do not pay a programmer immediately. Your money is escrowed and given to the programmer only after the work is complete (please see vWorker Employer FAQ).

Before you hire a programmer, you can:

1. quickly view programmer qualifications and resume
2. see the list of projects completed by the programmer
3. see opinions of the previous customers
4. see the the programmer approval rating. Rating is a value from 1 to 10. It is given by a customer to a programmer after the project is completed.
5. privately communicate to programmers (via special web forms) before selecting one of them.

Register for free as a worker (at vWorker customers are called workers) and you can post a job.

Projects are posted as:

• Open Auctions (you receive bids from all programmers on the site).
• Private Auctions (you receive bids only from programmers you invite).
• One-on-one Auctions (you give new project to a programmer you've worked with before).

After the work is complete, you could give a programmer a rating from 1 to 10. You could leave a comment for his future customers. This comment will be visible for all in the programmer portfolio.

It is very important for a programmer to make his work most satisfactory for the customer. He needs rating 10 and good customer comments to be eligible for future projects.

It is very hard for a programmer to get a good rating at vWorker™. Nobody wants to employ programmers with low rating or no completed projects. At first many have to work almost for free to earn high rating and portfolio. And few would willingly ruin it by failing 1 your project.

You post a project as an open auction. After that you get bids from programmers. All you have to do is to choose a programmer.

Probably the best choice is to select one of the vWorker Top Coders. They have a lot of completed projects and high rating. It is very unprobable a Top Coder would like to spoil his reputation - it is very hard to get at RenACoder.
