Great Communication Through RentACoder

Thursday Jul 3, 2008

Communication is a vital aspect of a relationship between business and outsourced worker. The freelancing marketplace is often seen as one that does little to embody the communicative process, but by using RentACoder, both parties are encouraged and persuaded to communicate openly and regularly.

Posting a bid request encourages skilled and qualified workers to place bids on your next project. A message board enables you and prospective programmers to open a dialog and to ask and respond to any questions that either of you might have. Once you’ve decided on the best provider for your requirements, you can accept that bid.

Once a bid is accepted, both parties will receive the other’s contact details. While it is perfectly acceptable to send and receive quick emails, it is advised that any essential communication is done through the RentACoder communication system to ensure that it is documented. This is important if the project goes into arbitration for any reason.

On larger projects, which are those valued at $150 or more, coders are required to post a weekly update through the RentACoder site. Not only does this system ensure that you have the capability to contact the professional working on your project, it also gives you the peace of mind of having recorded details of all essential communication. By using RentACoder you can protect yourself against potential communication problems.


RentACoder Arbitration

Thursday Jun 12, 2008

As a leading outsourcing marketplace RentACoder prides itself on the use of a number of unique systems that encourage a positive relationship between buyer and provider. One of these systems is the arbitration system that is used partially to resolve disputes and award claims fairly to one party or the other.

When a project goes into arbitration, a RentACoder team member is assigned to evaluate the project including the project details, accepted bid details, and further communication. If status reports were also required then the arbitrator also considers whether these were posted in a timely manner.

Arbitration can be resolved manually between the two parties, with the possibility of reduced payments in exchange for partial completion of a project. When this does occur, the arbitrator will make a note of this in the profiles of the buyer and the programmer. This ensures that a person’s profile still accurately reflects their performance.

Not all arbitration should be considered negative. If the scope of a project changes dramatically then either party can enter that project into arbitration and a new agreement reached. If a buyer notes a lost arbitration on a programmer’s profile, then it can be assumed that the programmer did do something wrong.

The arbitration system is designed to ensure that all RentACoder users enjoy the best experience while using the site. It offers a transparent view of how well a person or company has performed during previous encounters with RentACoder members.

RentACoder is the leading online marketplace and provides programmers with a fast, simple, and effective method of sourcing new work.

RentACoder is an online freelance marketplace. It enables those looking for service providers to find qualified and experienced programmers at the right price. Innovative features ensure a painless process, continued communication, and a safe purchasing environment. Through this combination, buyers are able to enjoy the highest quality of work at the lowest rates without the headaches of sourcing the best people for the job.

By posting project details you are inviting programmers with the appropriate skills to bid on that project. Every registered freelancer will be able to view the details, determine whether they are suitable, and then provide a cost, time frame, and other relevant details.

While it is advised that important communication be kept to the RentACoder system, you will be provided with contact details relating to the successful bidder once you make your choice. For larger projects, the provider is required to submit weekly updates and status reports ensuring that you always know the status of your work.

When you select a bidder, your funds will be placed into an Escrow account. These funds will only be released to the programmer when both parties agree that the work has been completed satisfactorily. If there are any disputes, the RentACoder arbitration system will be used to assess the situation, look at any evidence and communication, and make an informed and unbiased decision.

After every project is complete, buyers and coders are encouraged to leave feedback for one another. This feedback is displayed on the user’s profile so that it can be considered during the next bid request process. Buyers can view feedback relating to any bidder in order to help determine whether they are reliable and up to the task in hand.

RentACoder is the Internet’s leading freelance marketplace. It offers benefits to both coders and buyers, ensuring a trouble free process from beginning to end.
