LOL. Are you sure you are not Indian? :)
 
I prefer hiring whites. That way I can overpay and at the same time experience high turnover, excuses, demands for raises, strikes, poor work ethic and inappropriate behavior in the workplace.
 
Depends what you need them for. I've tried a ton for coding projects, went through a ton and didn't find even 1 that was worth keeping. Europe, exUSSR, US coders are mostly good. Worked with one really good team in China as well.

Yet, if its a simple task or a seo related one, such as link building, there are quite a few good ones in that part of the world who can deliver on time as promised or even beat your expectations.
 
Depends for what. If I want native level English content I would hire someone for America/Canada/etc. If I wanted some simple SEO work done I would hire people from Indian or other low income countries.

This is how I do it:

America/1st world countries = English articles/etc
Russia/Bulgaria/eastern Europe = Programming/design
India = SEO/VA/easy stuff

More complex things require more complex explanations so it's easier to explain something to someone from America/Russia than to someone in Indian.
 
I hired a bangladeshi guy once to do some work. Halfway through the job he disappeared. So I dispute it on paypal, and he sends me an email saying hes in the hospital and he needs the money for his medical bills. I figured if he could type that email he could finish my work so I didn't remove the dispute and eventually received the finished product a week later, finally removing the dispute after receiving it.

tl;dr Never working with someone from Bangladesh again. lol csb

LOL, his first version said "and good hard worker!!"

Nice edit :)
 
I hire whoever the best is for what I need, then not pay them and file bankruptcy on them and change my address/name.

Works great for me.
 
Hire me, bitches...

Everything on that "page of landing" (ROFL) is false. The photo is of a friend of mine who lives in Medinah, Illinois. I operate out of India and make Romanians do the work. What do you care as long as you get the job done? ;)
 
Whoever you hire, have a spec describing the quality of work, delivery steps and timelines for each one. When I had time to look for people, I had about 10 different people work on one of the projects, one after another. Give a few days, check the code(work), if not by the spec - they are not getting paid. Move on to the next. If possible, try to pay only after the whole project is done. I had some disappear once they get paid after the first delivery step.

Filipinos are the worst. I've had so many quit on day 1 and they always give the same excuse: either there's a typhoon and their Internet went down or their mother is sick in the hospital.
 
I've had the best luck with Indians in the VA department, as long as you give them clear instructions (and templates whenever writing is involved) they tend to be reliable.

For some reason I'm prejudiced when it comes to coding and development though, I just don't trust foreign coders I guess. I'm not sure why, maybe I should try some Asians and see how it goes.
