So how do you hire import procedure specialists? What follows are some tips for finding top import procedure specialists on Upwork.
How to shortlist import procedure professionals
As you’re browsing available import procedure consultants, it can be helpful to develop a shortlist of the professionals you may want to interview. You can screen profiles on criteria such as:
- Local import laws. You want an import procedure specialist who understands the procedures for importing goods from a foreign country into your own.
- Project experience. Screen candidate profiles for specific skills and experience (e.g., importing luxury goods from Italy).
- Feedback. Check reviews from past clients for glowing testimonials or red flags that can tell you what it’s like to work with a particular import procedure specialist.
How to write an effective import procedure job post
With a clear picture of your ideal import procedure specialist in mind, it’s time to write that job post. Although you don’t need a full job description as you would when hiring an employee, aim to provide enough detail for a contractor to know if they’re the right fit for the project.
An effective import procedure job post should include:
- Scope of work: From procuring an import license to identifying customs formalities, list all the deliverables you’ll need.
- Project length: Your job post should indicate whether this is a smaller or larger project.
- Background: If you prefer experience with certain industries, products, or countries, mention this here.
- Budget: Set a budget and note your preference for hourly rates vs. fixed-price contracts.
