Get Started as a Client – Translance Help Center http://support.translance.net Translance Help Center Mon, 19 Nov 2018 14:10:10 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.8.24 How do I get started as a client? http://support.translance.net/knowledge-base/how-do-i-get-started-as-a-client/ Sat, 03 Jun 2017 10:30:07 +0000 http://support.translance.net/?post_type=ht_kb&p=566 The Basics
Getting started on Translance is simple, and the easiest way to get the job done is to break the process into three phases:
1. Before you hire
2. Hiring
3. Doing the work
The Details
Before you hire:
• Fill out your company name, tagline, description, (no email addresses, phone numbers, or chat IDs and website URL, please), then upload your company logo.
• Add and verify your payment method. (Important! You can’t hire without this.)
Hiring:
• Evaluate your applications and shortlist those you like.
• You can also search for qualified freelancers and invite them to apply.
• Message your best applicants. You may want to consider performing a round of email interviews to help you narrow down your applicant list even further. After your email interview, you can perform a phone, chat, or video interview.
• Consider hiring a few top candidates for a test drive (a small, paid, trial contract) to help make the final decision.
Doing the work:
• Have a kick off meeting to establish ground rules on communication, expectations, availability, submitting deliverables, reviewing progress, and anything else you can think of. Introduce your new freelancer to the rest of your online work team and make sure they have contact information for everyone they’ll work with.
• Communicate with your freelancer regularly.
• Review work in progress regularly using the project deliverables, and progress reports.
• Manage your project using Reports.
• Ensure that billing and payments occur on time according to your contract.

What is a Job Success Score? http://support.translance.net/knowledge-base/what-is-a-job-success-score-2/ Sat, 03 Jun 2017 10:34:24 +0000 http://support.translance.net/?post_type=ht_kb&p=568 ________________________________________
A freelancer’s Job Success Score reflects their reputation on Translance based on direct client feedback and other indicators of client satisfaction. It combines metrics on their clients’ public and private feedback, long-term client relationships, client rehires, and contracts that don’t result in work delivered. Top freelancers on Translance typically have a score of 90% or higher, which indicates an overall track record of meeting or exceeding clients’ work expectations.
Small differences between scores, say 91% versus 93% are less important than large differences. Freelancers with scores of 90% and above have consistently delighted their clients. A freelancer with a score in the 80s has done solid work but also has indicators that their clients see some room for improvement. Scores of 79% and below may indicate that the freelancer has been struggling to meet their clients’ expectations.
What metrics does the Job Success Score include?

The inputs above are used to calculate a freelancer’s score. Green inputs are positive factors and gray inputs are those that can detract from a freelancer’s score. Contracts without activity (work delivered) and an excessive lack of feedback can indicate that a freelancer is regularly not meeting client work expectations.
