Boston-based organization seeking talent

Hey all,

Talented AuthorI've been an unregistered observer on this site on and off for many years now. I began as a freelancer in 2004, built up a robust and loyal client base through 2010, then took a 4 year break before relaunching in January 2014 with a plan to build a scalable organization. Rebuilt client-base from 1 client in 2014 to a couple hundred by end of last semester. Got a great management team and a growing base of freelancers. Big plans in the making from a technology and growth perspective.

Looking to deepen our talent bench. We're offering $15/250w, but we're hyper-anal about quality and reliability. Room for growth within the organization in terms of role and comp for those who show potential and fit with our culture. Or just join to be a freelancer and get paid for quality work.

We're looking primarily for freelance writing authors talented in:

-business disciplines (case study analysis, marketing, strategy, etc.)

-humanities (philosophy, english, literature, etc.)

-social sciences (psych, sociology, other kind of academic research)

-economics (specifically micro, advanced game theory also desirable)

Anybody interested or any questions, ask away.

Cheers

What's it all about; you cannot control a contract writer, unless you plan to work with regular (w-2) employees?

Re: Major: We're currently running a contractor model. Gives us better operating flexibility and cleaner balance sheet than maintaining an internal team of FTE/PTEs. That being said, star performing scholars interested in transitioning can be interviewed for internal roles too.

Regarding control, we follow the Pareto Principle. Partnering with the right contract scholars accounts for 90% of quality control. If we have to be looking over people's shoulders all the time, then we're doing a ****** job hiring.

Hey rat, why don't you put out a Craigslist classified ad like a normal person? "Hyper-anal company seeking people who can write sentences with subjects." "Quality control," my ass.

We regularly scan Craigslist, eLance, and O-Desk, but we're more interested in a scalable solution. Quality is also inconsistent on those sites. Even searching eLance for adjunct english professors, lots of the folks do not pass the quality screen, plus we tend to hire younger folks (ideally <40yrs old) or folks who exhibit the energy of younger folks.

Essayscam members' posts function as writing samples, and a couple of folks here clearly have a high quality writing style, while others are clearly ESL.

Editor75--your quality is overshadowed by your arrogance. To each his own, but I'm curious because you seem to have been tolerable at one point. The links below suggest you used to post value-adding threads:

Should companies treat independent freelance writers as their "employees"?
The student research industry is based on scamming teachers; it is a cesspit
X Paper-mill v. Turnitin.com-- X predicted winner

Yet, now your posts are just a relentless series of pointless flames. Why are you so bitter?

As far as I can tell, you are doing jack **** to expose any scams, but see this as the perfect place to alternately navel-gaze and place amateurish, cut-and-pasted want ads. That's one thing that's making me bitter. Another is that you called my recent posts pointless, when I just got yet another Ukrainian scam ad pulled. Btw, have fun keeping that list of professors to contact and rat out your customers. You're about as professional as a street clown.

Is that really the best you got? If your next flame isn't any better I'm going to start ignoring you again.

That's fine; I'll get back to you when your agenda fully materializes.

Would you give me a chance before you make that conclusion?

Seeking Collaboration



Is there anyone with access to numerous projects and wanna share them out. A network of "united writers" is essential for collective growth..

Dude, you can barely communicate in English.

This place is a complete joke without me calling out the ESL charlatans and criminal organizations that post here.

Well, how did everything end? Did the OP actually hire some writing talents from ES? I do not think so. The writers here are mostly freelancers who already did their time working for writing companies. Now they want to work for themselves and they will definitely warn their network members to not to fall for these sort of scams. There was no clear indication of writer requirements so they were obviously looking for writers to scam. I am just glad that nobody fell for his false advertising.

I'm worried about your more insidious advertising, and since you have no reservations about fining writers, and find it okay to tell customers to turn in their papers directly, or threaten to expose them, I don't think you're US- or UK-based. And if you are, you likely don't have a real, registered business.

These may be ignorant assumptions of mine, but you've never posted anything to discount them, nor have you addressed any of the direct questions/challenges posed to you on this forum. Students looking for someone to trust should look up to the top right of this page; seems like there's something off about this guy.

Writing companies have all but shut down their hiring at the moment. They are trying to cut their losses by pivoting to the educational AI model. If that is at all possible for them. The problem is not the lack of talented writers, the problem is that the students are shying away from hiring human writers. They prefer to place their trust in an AI model which may or may not deliver as they expect. Some students are becoming well versed in the use if AI for their research papers so that they are able to clean up the paper themselves already and create a mostly usable and grade worthy paper for submission, as a fraction of the cost of hiring a human writer.
The opinions are that of the author's alone based on an individual capacity. Opinions are provided "as is" and are not error-free.
