Buyer checks before you choose

  • Ask who employs or contracts the worker.
  • Confirm exactly what screening, management, and replacement include.
  • Use the same paid work sample and scorecard for every candidate.

How to compare fairly

Give each candidate or provider the same written task lane, sample inputs, quality scorecard, schedule, access limits, and prohibited decisions. A country or service-model label gives context; it does not prove that a particular person can perform the work.
