Very little! The onboarding, training, support, even crafting the project is on us and our industry leading mentors. We're entrepreneurs too, and know the time commitment required to support a "new hire". So we make it super easy for you.
Since our talent works on a very scoped, individual project they don't have to be onboarded onto your team or your systems. They also get support from a mentor to help them perfect their work. The project, communication requirements, deliverables will be clear from the beginning with no surprised.
You submit a request for a project, high-light what kind of tasks you may be interested in, and what your company is all about. We'll get back to you with suggestions and templates for high-impact projects. Once we have students that match your needs we will also send their profile your way.
If you're ready for someone to tackle a project, you're match! We'll onboard your student, share the project instructions, anything to help them and continue their mentorship.
The best projects are:
- Anything you would give an intern, or entry-level employee
- Siloed, independent projects like research, competitive analysis, exploring a new market, customer segment, product, feature. Anything that can be a presentation or pitch
- Projects that we have great templates and training for like user research, usability testing, product briefs, competitive analysis
- Projects requiring collection of data like going through customer support tickets, data, feedback, online reviews, usability tests and putting everything together into findings.
- Anything your senior employees need help with that can be segmented into smaller tasks, like turning product requirements into project management (Jira) tasks, or visualizing a product idea in mocks and for presentations.
