To join LD Talent, please send your resumé (PDF or DOC only) to info@ldtalentwork.com.

You will start accepting contract and/or full-time job opportunities in the LD Talent Slack. (more info)

While you are not assigned to a contract or hired for a full-time opportunity, you can choose to learn online and do paid passion projects to grow your skills. You will get paid $40 per skill you learn and project you do. Doing these passion projects will also help you get more and better matches. (more info)

We have gotten some requests to support fixed price arrangements. We use slack-based work sessions, which is a melange of fixed price and hourly.

The TL;DR is: you set the standards for what constitutes a good work session (i.e. visual application changes, git commits, etc). You can negotiate a pace / total number of hours with the talent you hire for your project. And you only approve work sessions you are satisfied. You reject work sessions you are not satisfied with and keep costs under control according to your budget and standards. Finally you get ~5 free hours to try this system out — you can use these 5 free hours to gauge the velocity and fidelity of talent's estimates.
