Why Global Talent
FAQ
You asked we
answered
Who uses our services? What problem do we solve?
SkillSpotterZ serves employers worldwide—from startups and small businesses to enterprises and sole proprietors—seeking reliable remote talent. We solve the challenge of finding top-quality remote professionals, freelancers, and virtual assistants by offering a curated, personally verified talent pool and a direct recruiter’s match service. This saves you time and provides a secure, personalized hiring experience.
How is SkillSpotterZ different from freelance platforms like Upwork or Fiverr?
At SkillSpotterZ, we focus on quality and personalization. Unlike automated platforms that prioritize the quantity of profiles, we personally invite, vet, and assess global talent. Alongside a searchable pool of active and passive talent, we offer a Direct Recruiter’s Match service. This means we handle the search, interview, and assessment process for you.
Additionally, there are no platform commission fees or restrictions. You can work and communicate directly with talent outside the platform, maintaining full flexibility and control over terms and payments.
What makes SkillSpotterZ’s matching capabilities unique?
Our matching process combines human expertise with a curated talent pool. Every candidate is personally assessed for skills, personality, culture fit, and language proficiency. This humanized approach ensures we deliver quality matches tailored to your specific requirements.
You can find experienced remote professionals, freelancers, and virtual assistants across industries, including customer support, bookkeeping, digital marketing, IT, real estate, and web development. Whether you need part-time, full-time, or project-specific experts, we have talent from Europe, Asia, and South America.
How do I pay the talent, and who does the talent work for?
Talent works directly for you, not SkillSpotterZ. Payment terms and methods are agreed upon between you and the talent, giving you full control and flexibility.
How do I classify remote professionals, freelancers, or virtual assistants when hiring them, and what are my tax obligations?
Freelancers and virtual assistants are typically classified as foreign independent contractors, meaning they’re not your employees and you’re not required to provide benefits or comply with employment laws. For tax purposes, they are classified as “freelance expenses.”
If hiring foreign contractors (e.g., from the Philippines or Serbia), a W-8BEN form confirms their status as independent contractors—no 1099 form or withholding is required. However, if you’re a U.S. employer hiring U.S. citizens or residents, you may need to issue tax forms like a 1099 if payments exceed a certain threshold. Consult a tax professional for compliance with your country’s regulations.
How do I find someone I can trust?
Every candidate is personally verified for professionalism, skills, and reliability. Verified profiles are marked with a star, showcasing their expertise. For added assurance, our personalized recruiter service provides tailored talent recommendations, and you can establish NDAs or confidentiality agreements for extra security.
What’s the difference between a Remote Professional, Freelancer, and a VA?
- Remote Professional: Full/part-time skilled role replacing in-house staff.
- Freelancer: Project-based or gig work with flexible terms.
- Virtual Assistant (VA): Long-term admin or business support, easily trainable to fit your business needs.
What sets the talent in your database apart from the Recruiter’s Match Service?
Talent in our database is personally invited and assessed. Profiles of highly verified candidates are marked with a star and appear first in search results. Our Recruiter’s Match Service goes further by defining your hiring needs, accessing talent from our database, and extending the search through our network and referrals. Candidates are then thoroughly vetted via interviews, role-specific assessments, and experience verification.
How do you keep your talent pool qualified?
We invite candidates who meet specific qualifications and encourage them to complete skill and role-specific assessments. Verified profiles are marked with a star, ensuring employers see the most qualified candidates first. Our recruiters personally verify each candidate for professionalism and expertise, providing peace of mind for employers.How are you different from Upwork and other freelance platforms?
Unlike automated platforms, SkillSpotterZ focuses on human connections. We personally invite and verify every freelancer, ensuring quality over quantity. You manage payments and work terms directly with the talent, without platform fees, providing full flexibility and control.
Why should I hire global talent?
Hiring globally gives you access to a diverse pool of skilled professionals, often at more competitive rates. It’s an opportunity to tap into unique expertise and perspectives while optimizing workforce costs.
What exactly do you test candidates on?
We assess cognitive abilities, role-specific skills, language proficiency, and personality traits to ensure culture fit and performance. This comprehensive testing ensures you hire the right candidate for your needs.
