How to hire team building specialists
Team building specialists can help you with a variety of work including facilitating activities, designing corporate events, and marketing.
So how do you hire team building specialists? What follows are some tips for finding top team building specialists on Upwork.
How to shortlist team building professionals
As you’re browsing available team building consultants, it can be helpful to develop a shortlist of the independent professionals you may want to interview. You can screen profiles on criteria such as:
- Type of team building. You may want a team building specialist who understands the type of team building you’re dealing with, whether it’s for the workplace, for children, or leadership development.
- Project experience. Screen candidate profiles for specific skills and experience (e.g., identifying and securing speakers for events).
- 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 team building specialist.
How to write an effective team building job post
With a clear picture of your ideal team building 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 an independent professional to know if they’re the right fit for the project.
An effective team building job post should include:
- Scope of work: From selling team building programs to assisting group leaders at events, 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 marketing channels, mention this here.
- Budget: Set a budget and note your preference for hourly rates vs. fixed-price contracts
