Excerpts:

• Roughly 25% of RentACoder’s contractors are American. That’s 61,708 out of 238,670 potential candidates. Only 1% (987) of them are “Top Coders” – contractors that meet specific work performance requirements. (page 30)
• If additional tasks obstruct the flow of existing work performance, a coder may oblige but then add the cost of completing them to an existing contract. (page 85)
• A good outsourcing contract will spell out what is and what isn’t acceptable in terms of performance issues. Thing is, contracts don’t account for the unknown. Yet it’s the unknown that slows down work performance every time. (page 85)
• You’re going to have to be much more specific when itemizing your own project’s tasks because when it’s all said and done, you’ll have what’s called, a “scope.” And hired contractors will use your scope as the basis of their work performance. (page 142)
• RentACoder’s Rating Legend below describes what each number indicates. In the example profile above, the coder is rated “8.83.” This number indicates that this coder’s work performance is “very good.” (page 229)
• RentACoder’s All Coder Competition ranks each coder by work performance based on job cost, job number, positive feedback, and status reports. (page 238)
• Another important determinant in a coder’s ranking is work performance stability. If a coder fails to file just one status report for instance, s/he instantly loses a thousand earned points and ultimately alters the results of RentACoder’s All Coder Competition Ranking. (page 239)
• There are no favorites, no preferences, and no ulterior motives in arbitration regardless of what you may have heard. There’s only an unbiased analysis of how well or how poorly a coder’s work performance or deliverable compares to its contract. (page 339)
