FAQs
How long does it typically take to find and onboard freelancers for a project?
Depending on area of expertise you can have a fully vetted independent talent or subject-matter expert on the ground in five days.
How much does Outsized charge for its services?
Outsized charges an uplift of 20% based on the independent’s rate. For building and managing virtual benches there is a separate setup and subscription fee. The amount depends on how many skill areas are included.
For contracting-as-a-service the uplift is typically lower than for a normal assignment, given that we do not provide the matching service (you already have the talent, and we manage onboarding, contracting and payments).
Please get in touch with us for more information and to discuss your needs when it comes to building and executing your agile workforce needs.
What contracts does a client need to sign with Outsized?
A new client will sign a Master Services Agreement (MSA), outlining all the key terms and conditions between you and Outsized.
For each individual contract under the MSA there will be a separate Statement of Work or similar, outlining the details for that particular assignment.
Can I terminate the contract if I am not satisfied with the independent?
If you are not satisfied with the independent placed through us, please let our team know immediately. We will replace free of charge.
As a standard term in our contracts, both clients and talent have the right to terminate the contract at any time, but the freelancer will have to serve the notice period (usually 30 days)
If we have already identified the candidate, can Outsized help us with the onboarding process?
Yes, if you have already identified the independent you wish to onboard, we have a contracting-as-a service product. Please get in touch to discuss your use case.
What other products & services does Outsized offer?
We offer the following products and services:
- Talent-on-demand: We match you to individual or multiple requirements for independent consultants, contractors and subject-matter experts. Quickly close capability or capacity gaps for your projects and core functions. Onboard talent in days, not weeks or months.
- Virtual benches: We build and maintain bespoke talent pools across your priority skill areas. We curate, continuously update, and manage these benches, ensuring that you have access to all the skills you need. See it as your ‘workforce-in-a-box’, enabling you to deploy the skills you need, as and when you need them.
- Contract-to-hire: Speed up and de-risk hiring for both you and the talent. Employers and candidates get to know each other during the explicit ‘try-before-you-buy’ period, ensuring a great match for both parties. Escape a lenghty and broken permanent recruitment process, and confirm suitability through on-the-job performance instead of through protracted interviews.
- Contracting-as-a-service: An end-to-end service helping you to contract, pay, and manage your independent talent. We reduce the complexity, time and resources risk associated with onboarding individuals who don’t sit on your payroll, and we ensure that they get a great experience.
