EPTI have to say, this is an interesting place to post a hiring announcement but due to the nature of your company I can totally relate!

I am a native Texan and local college student. I believe I could be a perfect fit for Simplifi. -Jordan Rushing | ||

And for North European workers the salary seems low (in the region of slightly below minimum wage for teens). There are also a lot of competent workers like this on Elance and odesk. Not temporary. Every single one of the contractors that started working fully is still with us. Two started and bailed out rather quickly. In the case of me, they even tried to green card me to come and live in Texas. I have asked earlier in this thread for the big advantages that odesk would have, no response was forthcoming. I think this job has enough other perks to make up for not paying a huge salary. On the update front: I am 95 % done going through the resumes, will create a detailed post with feedback, reasoning and a bit of stats in the next two days. | ||

Okay, but I mean it's not a real job or a company hiring to pay a salary of some sorts. Because if we invoice you, you can decide to kick someone out instantly because you are the customer (and it's perfectly legal). Furthermore, there are no employee benefits like most people are used to, if I understand correctly. Just to create some clarity for the fellow forums members expecting a real job out of this. . And this is crucial, especially because as some might need to put up a business, they would have to ask at least twice the normal wage - while 25$/hour is already very low -, Because of all the extra costs they have such as insurance, pension, income tax, company costs and any healthcare costs. To be honest, this is more of a warning to the good people on this forum. Unless you live in Asia with few living costs, 25 dollars is not a whole lot. | ||

To be honest, this is more of a warning to the good people on this forum. Unless you live in Asia with few living costs, 25 dollars is not a whole lot. It honestly depends where you live in the US. In Washington state, I wouldn't even bother applying for this job. But since I live in Tucson this is a very decent pay for Tucson AZ, where jobs pay as little as 3 dollars an hour here. Also the living expenses are quite low here. In Tucson you only need to make about 12 dollars an hour to afford a nice house if you are frugal with your money, 15 is a boost from that. That would be one of the reasons why I applied for the job, let alone probably knowing how to do some of it already. | ||

To be honest, this is more of a warning to the good people on this forum. Unless you live in Asia with small living costs, 25 dollars is not a whole lot. Your post sounds very US-centric. Which confuses me a bit, since I was under the impression that job-safety doesn't really exist there anyway. I have stated before that other countries have other laws in place, I personally pay less taxes on the US income than what I have to pay on German income tax (could probably even save more if I started declaring one room of my flat as my office...), no social security and less for health insurance. Having said all of that, the trend in CVs I received was that the US applicants were mostly in college or in very low paying jobs, while the people from the rest of the world were more experienced. edit: And about the perks: I am writing this from a nice hotel in Southern Spain  . | ||

And hired people on low paying jobs are making around 5€/hour, so 15$ before taxes is quite sweet. | ||
