Hiring great professional Indian workers

[DaveCraige.com]

So I just sent a preliminary offer to a great new Indian candidate who may end up working with us as a professional writer. (I am currently working for a microfinance and private equity company in India)

He is a professional with 5 years of consulting and research experience. He writes in perfect English and is quite eloquent.

His salary is about 10k a year.

So if you are looking for legitimate fulltime professional help for about 850 a month feel free to drop me a line. I am pretty sure I can find others like him.

(note; I am yet to find anybody for $4 an hour part time that can write and research in perfect English. If you think that you can feel free to post writing samples of their work)

I wanted to bump this up. The indian candidate I speak about in my first post is here working working on a one week assignment. One of the things he has done really well is HR work.

He logged in to his recruiter account at monster.com ($2,000 to setup an account I believe) and showed me how he is able to find really great indian candidates.

I think I could probably find a great full time (45 hours a week ) personal assistant for about $300 per month. If you are interested feel free to drop me a line.

You found an Indian that has an account on Monster? Those go for $10k/year. Or does Monster have an indian site? Also, did you mean $300 per week, or $300 per month, because I can get you one much cheaper than 3 bills per week.

How do you find the ones that can write well?

I'm looking for some to help in this regard, and I rarely run into ones that can actually write with understandable grammar.

I've checked Guru and eLance, and I usually end up with bumpkins. I can only hire ones to do things outside of writing.

Anyone want to share their resources?

Can we have a policy on grave digging?

This post generated nothing the first time and unrelated clutter the second. It is only a week old to begin with, did it really need to be grave dug?

Something as simple as don't spam your own posts, especially of you are the only one posting on them, or no posting on dead threads.

Most forums do have at least one rule about this, and this post breaks so many more forum etiquette rules...

Well, we don't have a policy about this.

However, I will say there are talented people from India and I find good programmers from there. I hire a guy from India to do my joomla upgrades. But there are simply not great writers from India if you want copy other than simple product descriptions. If you found one it's rare. Copy that is choreographed to sell simply isn't easy to do in a second language. I have seen enough of it to know.

Im now searching for all my Techie outsourcing in the philipines its far cheaper and the standard is on par....... Davie Craig since you seem to be using this post as Spam perhaps ou could throw a few hourly rates for various tasks on here. That might be useful........

I havent found one yet but I have several people Im working closely with that have Full tim PA in phillipines for $300 per month.......and the best part is its ehtical, because $300 - $400 US in the phillipines is considered great remuneration.

Why's Dave getting so much flac for spamming? He just bumped up his own post once, no big deal.

I know you guys are hot on the trail of the cheapest labor you can find but let's not say "cheap phillipino". It's degrading and sounds prejudiced even if you did not mean it that way. This forum has membership from every county.

Yea, guys, seriously. Webgal's got a point, ease up on the disrespect.

India has millions and millions of professionals. I work with incredibly talented, hardworking Indians everyday. However, professionals here cost more than $4 an hour. This post is geared towards people that have the budget to hire somebody full time.

You could probably build a business and staff it with talented Indians and save 70% on your HR budget and get great work.

Also noteworthy is that most all professional Indians speak Brittish English, which has some differences.
