The Free Business Analysis by Taskbeasts One thing we offer to businesses that are interested in trying us out is our 'free business analysis'. Who is it ideally for? - Companies that are <50 employees - That want to improve their processes (and reduce cost) What does it consist of? Call 1 (~45min): We run through all of the processes in your company Call 2 (~45min): We show you what implementing the 'Beast method' of Clickup would look like and what value it would add. If your business is run the 'traditional' way... our goal would be to at least 2x your efficiency (= cost reduction, speed of execution, transparency). https://lnkd.in/gaYF4yN8

Most companies that work with freelancers from Upwork and Fiverr end up having a bad experience and giving up. Why? Having worked with ~200 freelancers from these platforms in the past 4 years we've boiled it down to: Problem 1 - Varying quality of talent (sometimes incompetent) Problem 2 - Unclear instructions leads to work that misses the mark Problem 3- Lack of transparency (when will it be done? what has been done so far?) We basically solve for these 3 things with the Taskbeasts model. How? Problem 1: Most of the freelancers we use we have used in the past and so they are vetted. Problems 2 & 3: We use s system, the 'Beast method', to make it reliable and transparent Check out the video to hear more: https://lnkd.in/grP5JEjR

What is the Beast Method? It is the Clickup-based method that we use to manage work for our clients. It makes it very easy for clients to: - see the status on all tasks they have requested - see the updates from the latest work done by the taskbeasts working on them - see the eta of when they will be done The rules to this method are: - everything is captured as a task - any work done is captured as an update to a task This transparency & discipline is part of what makes Taskbeasts feel as reliable as full-time employees. Often even more so. https://lnkd.in/gxAZQkYJ

Do founders need employees? At Taskbeasts we challenge founders to ask themselves this question. Do they really need employees and why? Here are some common answers: 1 - They believe employees will be more committed 2 - They believe employees are better than freelancers 3 - They believe employees are better for the culture than freelancers But our experience having worked with contractors for about 4 years is that this is not really accurate at all. Commitment & quality of a person has almost nothing to do with whether a person is an employee or a freelancer. You will find plenty of employees that are not very committed and are not very good. And the number of high quality folks that have chosen freelancing as their path has rocketed up in the last several years. Particularly after the high number of layoffs the past several years.. many folks have decided to just freelance and not go back to full-time employment. And in terms of culture... freelancers are often faster to integrate into team cultures because they have had much more practice at it. And in a way it is a skill that gets better with practice.

Amazon to cut 14k managers and change the ratio of individual contributors to managers by more than 15% by Q1 2025. This is the vision we at Taskbeasts are working towards. With the Beast Method we enable IC-to-manager ratios of 20:1 and even 40:1. While having output improve. How? Systems, Systems, Systems. https://lnkd.in/gSNt46c3

Taskbeasts assigns its clients a 'Chief Outsourcing Officer'. What the heck is that? It is like a project manager who serves as your single point of contact and takes responsibility for: 👉 Finding the right freelancer and onboarding them fast (often in 24 hrs) 👉 Overseeing the quality of the work 👉 Acting as a fractional member of your management system who gets stuff done via the freelancers Check out the video for more detail!

Our vetted freelancers (ie. Taskbeasts) against employees. On average we find that we will be: 👉 99% faster to hire and start - We typically hire and onboard within 1 day - Typical companies take 2-3 months or more to recruit and then onboard someone 👉 50% cheaper to use - With us you only pay for capacity you need - We find that most full-time employees are only actually about 50% utilized once you have transparency into what they are doing each day (we use the 'Beast method' for this) 👉 50% easier to manage - We oversee our staff for you and do a lot of the day-to-day management - You just check and confirm the work quality at the end 👉 100% more flexible - When the project finishes you let them go. - No severance. No notice period. No guilt.

Imagine a model where a founder or founders don't need almost any employees to scale. That is the vision we want to enable for startups and high growth companies by partnering with Taskbeasts. We use systems with vetted freelancers that will make it feel almost the same as working with employees. Why? 👉 Don't lose time looking for the person (we typically onboard within 24 hrs) 👉 Don't pay for full-time people that you don't need 👉 Don't waste lots of time with poor quality people on Upwork and Fiverr How does it work? 1. We set up our 'Beast system' on Clickup that easily enables you to create ANY task (eg. sales, marketing, development, design, etc.) 2. We give you a 'Chief Outsourcing Officer' who is your single point of contact that takes responsibility for the quality of the work. 3. This person assigns someone from our vetted list of freelancers who starts working on it. Also the task is estimated in points (1 point = $5) 4. You get regular updates on progress via Clickup and know exactly when it will be done by looking at the due date. 5. You review that it's ok. If not, you ask for edits as a comment on the card. 6. When you confirm it's done we deduct the points from your balance. DM if you want to know more. Check us out: https://lnkd.in/gd7mDi5x

How are we different from working with Upwork or Fiverr? We've used our four years of experience of hiring hundreds of folks from those platforms to create systems that make it far more reliable. Our job is to make using freelancers feel as if you are working with full-time employees. Except of course that it will be much cheaper and more flexible. https://lnkd.in/gZfAuv8k
