1. Check your contract
Read the outside-work, conflict-of-interest, non-compete and IP clauses. See the guide.
2. Find the hours
One to two hours on a working day is about five hours a week. Our tasks are sized for that, and the platform cap is 15 hours a week across all tasks.
3. Set the rate
Start from the market median on the rate pages, add the contractor premium and decide a floor. See how to price a task.
4. Mind the tax
Contractors usually report and pay their own tax. See the basics and ask a local adviser.
5. Stay safe
Real recruiters never ask for money and write from @deftridge.com. Verify a sender.
