Frequently asked questions
Should I use a test project when hiring a developer?
A short, role-relevant exercise can help assess how someone approaches a task, but keep its scope clear and reasonable. You can also discuss previous work, review code samples, or use a paid project with defined ownership and terms.
How should I provide software access to a developer?
Use individual accounts, limited permissions, and a documented onboarding process. Share the repository and environment details needed for the task, and keep secrets and production access controlled according to your internal practices.
Which time zones can the role cover?
Candidates in the Philippines work US, Australian, UK or European business hours, and each job post says the schedule. Agree the daily overlap before you hire, and remember the clock shifts when the US or Europe changes its time.
How do I pay someone abroad?
Most employers pay by Wise, Payoneer or a bank transfer. Agree the method, the rate and the payment dates before work starts, and keep the invoices for your own records.
Is this person my employee or my contractor?
Most people hired abroad work as independent contractors: you pay an agreed rate and they handle their own taxes and benefits. If you want an employment relationship, check the rules where you are hiring from or use an employer of record.
Does WorkNow charge a placement fee?
No. You can post a job for free, and our team reviews the first one before it goes live. You are never charged a percentage of the salary.
