TapChief Review

Centralized project management

TapChief’s business dashboard is a central place from where you can monitor and manage the progress of all the projects you have posted. The view is similar to a Kanban board; each project is turned into a card and is sorted under categories — active, open, draft, and completed.

As the card moves from one category to another, the fields, the CTA, and the notifications change accordingly. For instance, when the project status is ‘open,’ the card will contain details such as proposals received, new applicants, and more. And when it is changed to ‘active,’ it will include ‘billed amount, files received, among other things.

Also, you can invite team members and colleagues through the Business Dashboard.

Automated hiring funnel creation

Every time you post a project on TapChief, a hiring funnel will be created automatically. The funnel dashboard helps you view and edit project details and get an overview of the latest updates.

Meanwhile, there are menus where you can view and manage candidates at different stages of the funnel — applicants (shortlisted, invited, or archived), contacted and hired. You can perform a variety of actions here — add notes, shortlist, hire or archive freelancers, chat with them, view proposals, send assignments, schedule meetings, do audio and video calls.

Specified scope of work

When working with freelancers, you must create a substantial scope of work. It ensures that both businesses and freelancers are on the same page. TapChief streamlines the creation of Scope of Work with its ‘Contracts’ feature.

You can define the final scope of the engagement and send it across to a freelancer you’ve shortlisted. You can attach text, files, billing cycles, deposit an amount and set the project milestones and timelines on a TapChief Contract. Contracts on TapChief aim to empower the users and reduce turn-around-times, operation overheard and miscommunication.

Streamlined freelancer management

All the freelancers and independent professionals on TapChief are pre-vetted by their team. It will save you the hassle of extensively evaluating every applicant, and you won’t have to worry about getting scammed either.

TapChief also has a replacement guarantee. If a freelancer drops out or if you aren’t happy with the output, TapChief will take ownership of finding a new resource for the project within 15 days. Either way, our team will ensure that your project is completed on time.

Furthermore, you can start working with freelancers without worrying about any legal (contractual and copyright) concerns. The TapChief team will take care of any legal issues arising during the project.

TapChief lets you schedule consultation sessions with domain experts. These sessions typically last for durations of less than one day, ranging from phone calls and messages to video calls and in-person meetings.

Optimized online Workspace

TapChief is also working on upcoming features. Workspace is the next step in TapChief’s pursuit to make it easier for businesses to work and manage freelancers. It includes a set of features that are meant to improve your project management capabilities, enhance your productivity, and facilitate seamless communication. Some of them are:

• Product Home – Dashboard where you can get a birds-eye view of your performance across projects, earnings, billed hours and forecasting on “what’s next” from a long term perspective.
• Rooms – A Slack-like environment where you can interact with freelancers, view files, get updates, schedule and make audio and video calls, and much more.
• Activity Log – View all the actions taken on a project here. It offers you a bird’s eye view of all actions being taken on their project from assigned/completed tasks, delays, received/due payments, outstanding invoices, milestones achieved and more.

It includes a whole lot of other features and integrations including time trackers, invoice generator, and much more. The purpose of TapChief Workspace is to be able to work with a professional remotely as if the person is working with you across the table.
