Has anyone found some great project managers? I'm looking for general purpose administrators who can help run projects for me -- i.e. marketing, some minor development, odd web jobs, etc. I tried GetAFreelancer.com but they have restrictive contact rules. I need to talk to these people first before blindly putting in a $300 / mo. bid to use them.
Hi, Freelance portals such as getafreelancer.com, rentacoder.com, scriptlance.com have their own message board so that you can discuss with the bidders. You can use their facilities to the most before selecting any bidder. I'm an active freelancer and I can say that the freelance portals did bring me projects, but not all the time. Hope that's help you out
Freelancing portals create fiercely competitive market for service providers. Long time established companies will be able to offer you amazing services but will come with heavy price tag - do not assume because you find a company in Eastern world the prices will be cheap. Have you tried posting your req on Craigslist? I am very sure you will receive resumes but for $300/mo. I doubt you will find anybody to work for you. (CL visitors are predominantly US based).
