Evaluating bids

I'm a freelancer

About this project

Open

Part of your job as the employer of a freelancer is to write a good project description. This is particularly important if you are using a freelancing website such as oDesk, Elance, or Guru and will have multiple artists bidding for the same project. A good brief will help make sure that each freelancer is bidding for the same amount of work and that you are comparing apples to apples when selecting one.



Writing a good job description not only helps streamline your process, but it also attracts talent. When I come across a poorly written description with vital information left out or even poor grammar, I move right on to the next project. A poorly written description screams armature, and tells your artist that you haven’t given this any thought at all.
