How to hire ServiceNow specialists
Spreadsheets, emails, and ad hoc scripting can carry a company only so far. ServiceNow provides a single cloud solution for managing and automating all your business workflows and IT operations.
So how do you hire ServiceNow specialists? What follows are some tips for finding top ServiceNow specialists on Upwork.
How to shortlist ServiceNow professionals
As you’re browsing available ServiceNow 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:
- Technology fit. You want a ServiceNow specialist who understands the technologies powering your business.
- Project experience. Screen candidate profiles for specific skills and experience (e.g., automating the onboarding of new employees with an intuitive information portal).
- 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 ServiceNow specialist.
How to write an effective ServiceNow job post
With a clear picture of your ideal ServiceNow 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 freelancer to know if they’re the right fit for the project.
An effective ServiceNow job post should include:
- Scope of work: From ITBM (IT business management) solutions to API integrations, 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, software, or ServiceNow products, mention this here.
- Budget: Set a budget and note your preference for hourly rates vs. fixed-price contracts.
