Xchangeteam - For Companies - New To Freelancers?

Once you've found a freelance consultant through us, you can be sure that you have a professional with specialist knowledge of your business or project. Here are a few tips on how to get the best from the freelance consultants that you work with:

Brief them - put aside time to brief your freelance consultant clearly when they first arrive including: what you want them to do, your house style, the project aims / background, project deadlines and office procedures including dress code and hours.
Timing - have realistic expectations of what is achievable in the time allotted and ask their advice on your plans - as they may well have more experience of your type of project than you do.
Guided tour - give them a tour of office facilities and equipment, pointing out any passwords needed and introducing them to the receptionists and office manager, post-room etc if relevant.
Treat them as part of the team - introduce them to the team they will be working with and clarify who they should be reporting to.
Review progress - do this regularly and raise any concerns as they arise, to benefit you and them.
