    Insurance to cover contractors abroad

    Interesting, thanks for sharing. I do very similar work as you do, migration from legacy to cloud, modernise business structure to better utilise these tools, support and management of their platform. I'm planning to further expand my operations so I'm planning to mix contracting people in the...

    Insurance to cover contractors abroad

    I'm slowly moving from contracting to running my own business that will use services from contractors abroad and I was wondering if anyone has experience dealing with insurance to cover these people abroad?

    Me posting the first adv to hire people, who would say

    I'm not sure where I said I'm concerned, I said I want to avoid that. The customer doesn't need to know the process and the rates involved. The same as their main contractor is doing with them. Please don't make assumptions without knowing the facts.

    I'llhave a look into that, thanks! It is 1st line support but not necessarily the call centre type, you would be surprised how many people get MS Teams wrong ok, thanks I'm going to post on jobserve, it seems it is indeed the best platform at the moment according to you folks. I've spoke...

    It would not be appropriate to post job specs here, perhaps even against forums rules. I'm looking for guidance about the best places I can find the right candidates at the moment.

    I'm trying to keep a low profile for this project, putting on my company page may eventually reach my customer somehow and I want to avoid that.

    Me posting the first adv to hire people, who would say

    Please quote me where I was saying it is expensive or where I was trying to hire someone for free? I asked if those websites are still relevant considering it seems like there are lots of fake adverts and could be driving good people away. I also asked if people find relevant to try other...

    Websites like Upwork for freelance in the tech industry

    Yeah, I tried a couple of people on Fivver recently and I was not happy even though it was far from the cheapest. It was web development so in the end I got a recommendation from a friend about a chap in Scotland and we have been doing work since then flawlessly. Indeed networking is your best...

    Yeah, I'm doing that alreayd, I just thought an extra channel would be worth but like you guys said, it is more a race to the bottom and I want to steer clear from that. I can get much better stuff by meeting face to face with people Thanks guys!

    Websites like Upwork for freelance in the tech industry

    i'll research a bit more indeed, apologies. My idea was to go after people that are more concerned with the quality of work delivered than costs. I'm starting to put more customers on board of my MSP which is slowly working out, so the idea was to try to fill some gaps in between with some...
