FAQ

Frequently asked questions about JoboFlex

Fractions, prices, availability, contracts and equipment.

What is a fraction?

A fraction is one hour per business day of a senior professional's time, reserved for your company and billed monthly. One fraction is about 21 hours a month. Two fractions means that person works on your project two hours every business day. A professional offers up to eight fractions a day.

How much does a fraction cost?

Each professional sets their own price per fraction per month, shown on their profile. A typical senior engineer is listed around $1,000 to $1,400 per fraction, so two fractions of a senior developer at $1,200 costs $2,400 a month for two hours of work every business day. There are no placement fees, recruiting fees or deposits.

Why can a future fraction cost more than one that starts today?

Professionals publish a forward price calendar. As their fractions fill up they may raise the price for engagements that start in a later month, for example from $1,200 today to $1,400 for starts three months out. The price that applies is the one in effect on your start date, and once you sign it is locked for your whole term.

What does rate lock mean?

The price per fraction on your signed order does not change for the duration of your term, up to 12 months, even if the professional raises their price for new clients. You can extend a running engagement at the same rate while the total term stays within 12 months and the fractions are still free.

How do I see who is available?

The roster is public and live. Every profile shows how many fractions are open right now, the date of the next opening when someone is fully booked, and a 12-month calendar of open fractions and prices. If someone is full you can join their waitlist or reserve fractions that open on a future date.

Who do I sign a contract with?

You sign a Master Services Agreement and an order form with Nexora Technologies, Inc., the US company that operates JoboFlex. Nexora Technologies, Inc. contracts each professional, invoices you monthly in US dollars and pays the professional. You never manage international contracts, payments or tax forms.

Where are the professionals based?

All professionals are based in Latin America, including Colombia, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Peru, Uruguay and Costa Rica. Their working day overlaps most or all of US business hours, so the daily fraction happens while your team is online.

Is JoboFlex only for US companies?

Yes. JoboFlex currently serves companies registered in the United States. Contracts are with a US entity, in US dollars, under US law.

Is every professional really senior?

Yes. JoboFlex lists senior roles only. A professional needs at least seven years of relevant experience to apply. Every professional signs in with LinkedIn, their résumé is built from their LinkedIn profile, and Nexora Technologies, Inc. reviews every profile before it is listed.

Who provides the laptop and equipment?

Each professional brings their own device. JoboFlex is bring-your-own-device: professionals work on their own computer, which must have full-disk encryption, an automatic screen lock and a supported, up-to-date operating system. You do not ship or manage hardware. If your security program requires it, you can provide access through your own virtual desktop or managed accounts.

Can I change the number of fractions later?

Yes. You can add fractions whenever the professional has them open, at the price in effect on the day they start. You can end an engagement with 30 days' notice, and extend it at your locked rate.

Can I book several people at once?

Yes. The squad builder lets you combine fractions of different roles, for example two fractions of a backend engineer, one of a DevOps engineer and one of a product designer, and sign them as a single order with one monthly invoice.

How do I know the work is being done?

Professionals keep a daily delivery log for each engagement with the hours worked and a short summary. You see it in your dashboard next to each engagement.

Who owns the work product?

You do. Under the Master Services Agreement, work product created for you in an engagement is assigned to your company once the corresponding invoice is paid, and every professional signs confidentiality and intellectual property terms with Nexora Technologies, Inc.

How is JoboFlex different from a freelance marketplace or a staffing agency?

Freelance marketplaces sell hours with no guaranteed daily rhythm, and staffing agencies mostly sell full-time placements after a sales call. JoboFlex sells a standard unit, the fraction, with public prices, live availability, a forward price calendar and instant ordering, limited to senior professionals.
