Hiring A Consultant

METHODS

The best way to hire a consultant is to listen and let the developer attempt to match up skills, techniques, and etc to see if they match or fit the ways your business problem might be solved by that new project or product. Yes, while it is true that its your idea most professional developers would rather have things match than force a fit and will away if things do  not fit so that you get a better fit with a different developer as they want you happy and your project working.

STEPS

1. Send the consultant a NDA to be signed

2. Await the preliminary scoping of project

3. Usual advance of 2 weeks at $50 per hour for 80 hours is agreed upon as the project advance for short time span projects and for longer projects the advance is adjusted.

4. Once project is scoped and costs and implementation discussed and agreed upon sit back and watch it take shape.
