First, you need to make sure that you hire the right person. The fact that it is a small job does not mean that it should be taken any less seriously. Finding someone you trust can do the job well, on time and a person you can rely on for possible future projects is crucial. Think of your strategy and the method you want to use.

If you opt for the second one, pay close attention to the profile of the freelancers you are interested in. Do they have reviews that state they have done a good job? Check if they have done a similar job in your particular area. Have they finished their work on time? What is their repeat hire rate? The selection process may take a while because you are looking for a specific profile. Once you narrow it down to several candidates, you may ask them for sample work or more information.
