Outsourcely helped me hire a remote assistant who's been with my startup for over a year now. The focus on long-term roles rather than quick gigs really matters — I got someone invested in the work. The interface is a bit dated but the talent quality more than makes up for it.
Great for long-term remote hires
Interface feels dated
I had high hopes for Outsourcely but spent ages messaging candidates who never replied because their profiles were clearly abandoned. For a platform aimed at long-term hiring, the lack of activity filters made the search frustrating and slow. I eventually found someone elsewhere.
Many stale, unresponsive profiles
Outsourcely has been instrumental in building my distributed team. I've hired a designer, a support rep, and a developer here, all for long-term positions, and all still with me. The direct communication model and absence of recurring platform cuts make it incredibly cost-effective for startups.
Cost-effective long-term remote hiring
The concept behind Outsourcely is solid but the platform itself let me down. Messages to candidates frequently failed to send and I missed connecting with a couple of promising remote workers because of it. For something so central to the experience, the reliability just wasn't there.
Unreliable in-platform messaging
As a founder watching every dollar, Outsourcely was ideal. No huge fees, direct contact with remote workers, and I hired a brilliant developer for an ongoing role. The emphasis on lasting relationships over one-off tasks is exactly what a growing startup needs. Genuinely impressed with the outcome.
Affordable, direct, long-term focused
