oDesk has been around for a few years now, and I’ve used it a few times, hired a few people, but since moving to Thailand a couple of years ago, my staff costs here are so low I never need to outsource, I was in an outsourced country!

But, today with our current major project we need a pretty good flash developer, and we only need someone for about a week, so there’s no point recruiting someone, or even bothering trying to find someone in Thailand, I’ve just posted a new job on oDesk in about 10 minutes.

So easy to do I love it. And the really good thing about oDesk from a buyers point of view is that we have full insight into what they are doing and if they are really doing work – the oDesk system takes screenshots like every 15 seconds so we know if they are actually there doing work or are slacking off doing other stuff…

All round oDesk is a great place to outsource to, it’s just so easy, fast and worry free.
