    Guru.com is great if you are a freelancer looking to connect with clients to get projects, but it is not for people looking for a steady flow of work or a more permanent employment situation. There is a learning curve before you can successfully get clients, but once you get the hang of it, it works nicely.

    Without hesitation, we can recommend this program, as it has allowed us to have the best remote staff we have had in the company. YouTeam always responded to any eventuality that may arise and was always attentive to our requirements and demands.

    Pros
    Guru.com

    • It has very efficient consultants who ask the perfect questions so that the shortlisting of candidates is exactly what we are looking for. I also like that the whole process is done in a maximum of one week. That is, we already have the qualified personnel hired and working in one week.
    • The program gives us in a short time a list of all the candidates, with all the information we need about them, so that we can choose the ones we want to interview.
    • It has a large database of expert engineers in different areas such as big data, web development, applications, and more, so we have benefited from the expert staff they have offered us.

    Cons
    Guru.com
    • Relatively high fees taken out of earnings
    • Fake clients still get through, which causes a headache
    • Having to pay to get your bid higher up in the list of freelancers makes it even more costly

    • We had drawbacks with some of the selected people, but the YouTeam team quickly helped us with the drawback by providing a new list.
    • In the introductory interview, they overlooked to ask the location; that's why the list they sent was of candidates who did not have the same time zone, making remote work more complicated.
    • Although they guarantee that those hired will stay for an average of 2 years, the truth is that we lost a good employee in less than that time.
