Our Vetting Process
Our rigorous freelancer screening process ensures we get the best. As product people ourselves, we look for proven experts with passion and drive. We only accept people into the network who we’d want to work with and learn from ourselves.
STEP ONE
Recruit Top Performers
We monitor LinkedIn and proactively place job descriptions and ask for referrals to find the very best freelance product experts. Top freelancers who learn about Productal can also apply for admission.
Step Two
In-Depth Skill Assessment
We review each product experts professional experience, client feedback, and work samples to assess their level of expertise and knowledge of best practices. Most freelancers also complete a skill-specific assessment.
Step Three
Phone Interview
Our final layer of screening is a phone interview that assesses communication skills, critical thinking, and professionalism. If all above criteria are met, the freelancer joins our Productal community.
Step Four
Continued Excellence
Product experts are expected to maintain a perfect track record while working with clients. We check-in with clients every 2 weeks to ensure quality service and do not tolerate sub-par work or poor communication for any reason.
