What is oDesk?

oDesk is an online staffing marketplace and management platform that provides a convenient way to hire, manage, and pay individuals no matter where they are located. Hiring managers can post jobs and hire from thousands of ranked and certified service providers for time-based work or fixed-price projects. oDesk tools empower users to manage providers as if they were in the same office, and verify and pay only for actual work performed.

Is this a job board site?

Not exactly. oDesk has a "job board", but it's much more than that. The job board serves as a means to connect buyers with high quality providers to work on any sort of jobs, but the oDesk tools help users get the most out of their relationship.

Is this outsourcing?

Well, not exactly. When companies "outsource," they typically dump the project on an outside contractor and expect all the management to be done by someone else. At oDesk, we believe buyers and providers get the best results when they collaborate throughout the project and work just as local employees work; communicating daily and reviewing work together.

Getting Hired:
How do I get a job?

A couple of things we recommend: First, post a profile and fill in your past work history and skills. Take a few online tests to verify your skills. Start applying for jobs! Try out small projects first to accrue feedback and then go after the bigger fish.

What kind of buyers are here?

Most oDesk buyers are managers at small to medium-sized IT businesses that are looking for providers for everything from small fixed-price projects to long-term relationships of a year or more.

How long does it take to get a job?

The first job is always the hardest, it can take some time and persistence to build an impressive profile and acquire your first job. Take free online certifications to increase your job application limit and write detailed custom cover letters and you should be able to ge a job within 1-4 weeks.

How can I improve my profile?

Take as many certification tests as possible, upload work samples to your portfolio, include a portrait, and spend time editing and refining the text in your profile.

How do I know which buyers are good?

Check out the feedback other providers have left for the buyers and take a look at the number of paid jobs they've completed on oDesk. We also encourage providers to ensure that there is a good fit during the interview process.

Should I bid on hourly or fixed price jobs?

Whichever you prefer. Most long-term relationships are done on an hourly basis, but fixed-price projects may be a great way to get started with your first oDesk jobs.

Can my company provide services on oDesk?

Of course. You can sign up as the manager of your company to become an oDesk Affiliate. Then add individuals from your company to your company roster and bid on jobs. All rates and payments will be in your control as the manager.

Working:
What is oDesk Team? Do I need to use it?

oDesk Team is a proprietary program that automatically keeps track of your time when you are signed in and working on a job. If you are working on hourly jobs, you need to run oDesk Team in order to log "online" hours you are billing to oDesk buyers.

Can I get full time work?

Sure, lots of people do. Build up your oDesk reputation and satisfy buyers and you may soon find yourself in full-time engagement.

How does feedback work?

At the end of any assignment, buyers and providers are able to leave feedback on each other by rating performance in 6 different categories and leaving appropriate comments. Feedback is publicly visible by default, but the comments may be made private by the users.

How do I deliver the work?

oDesk provides an optional source code repository, Subversion (SVN), that you may use to upload deliverables, or you and your buyer can arrange for any other means of delivery.

How do I communicate with my buyer?

It will depend on the job, but we suggest using email and chat as frequently as possible to stay in communication. Every provider receives an @odesk.com email address that forwards to your personal address and contact info is exchanged through the oDesk system.

Getting Paid:
What is the Guaranteed Payment policy?

We guarantee payment for hours logged through oDesk Team on hourly projects. If you do your work (and only your work — surfing YouTube doesn't count!), payment is guaranteed.

How can oDesk guarantee payment to providers?

We give buyers a series of tools to manage the work being done by providers. If the time is being logged correctly, the provider is doing relevant work and filling out accurate Work Memos, and staying in touch with the buyer, we assume the work logged is valid and bill the buyer.

How much money can I make?

That's all up to you. Earning a good reputation and high feedback scores in the network can help you achieve dramatic earnings growth of as much as 4x or 5x your starting hourly rate.

How can I receive my payments?

We've made it easy for you to get paid, no matter where you are. For U.S.-based providers, we can deposit your earnings directly into your bank account. For US or international providers, we offer MoneyBookers, wire transfers — and the favorite of many providers — the oDesk debit MasterCard powered by Payoneer, which works everywhere a regular MasterCard would work.

What is the pay rate for a professional like me?

Depends. Check out the profiles and pay rates of other providers that share the same skills to get an estimate. Other factors matter, too: Providers with a lot of experience and feedback can charge more on oDesk.

What about taxes?

As a buyer, you do not need to pay any additional taxes if you're purchasing services through oDesk. U.S.-based providers fill out a W-9 form and 1099s are provided at the end of the year. International providers are responsible for reporting their earnings to the appropriate tax agencies.
