Frequently asked questions
A great consultant listens well, digs deep into problems, and comes up with plans that are easy to follow. They should know a bunch about business tactics and how to work out tough situations. Most importantly, they need to gel with your team and understand what your business is all about.
Having a consultant is like having a super-smart buddy who knows all about business. They give you tips to make better choices, find ways to save money, and set goals. Plus, they're great at helping you see the big picture and avoid any stumbles along the way.
You can ask for help with almost any business challenge – like making a solid plan, getting better at selling your stuff, understanding your cash flow, or even learning the best ways to hire and train your team. Think of them as a guiding hand whenever you're in a pickle or just want to level up.
Payments are made directly between you, the client, and the freelancer. This direct approach allows you to discuss and agree on payment terms, rates, and schedules that work best for both parties. Unicorn Factory does not intermediate these payments, ensuring transparency and flexibility in your arrangements.
While Unicorn Factory is instrumental in connecting clients with freelancers, project management is generally handled directly between you and your chosen freelancer. Our platform's role is to help you find the ideal professional for your needs; once you connect, the freelancer will work with you to manage and execute the project.
We recommend that you first try to resolve any disagreements directly with the freelancer through clear communication. If issues persist, you can reach out to us for guidance. While Unicorn Factory doesn't directly intervene in disputes, we can offer advice and best practices for resolution.
Once you agree to work with a freelancer, you'll typically discuss and finalize project details, timelines, deliverables, and payment terms. It's a good practice to have a clear agreement or contract in place. Then, the freelancer will begin working on your project, keeping you updated on progress according to your agreed-upon communication plan.
The Concierge Service at Unicorn Factory is all about providing a fully assisted experience. We do the heavy lifting: creating your job listing, reviewing applicants, narrowing them down to the top three, scheduling interviews, and offering support during the interview stage. We even assist in reviewing proposals and provide feedback. It's perfect for those new to hiring freelancers, ensuring a smooth and guided process.
On the other hand, Business Pro is for the more independent hirer. It's a do-it-yourself approach where you write your listing, review applicants, conduct and schedule interviews, and review proposals on your own. This option suits businesses with experience in hiring freelancers. However, opting for our Concierge Service not only guides you through the hiring process but also grants you a full year's access to Business Pro, giving you the best of both worlds.
