In this video, the speaker outlines the end‑to‑end process that begins the moment a client signs a deal. The first step is an onboarding call where the client confirms understanding of the contract, payment terms, and expectations. The speaker then provides pre‑work to prepare the contractor for day one, followed by daily and weekly check‑ins during the first week. After the initial period, a continuous monitoring routine ensures the contractor meets project expectations, has no payment issues, and stays aligned with the boss’s goals. As the relationship matures, the contractor becomes a source of market insight; any pain points or observations are fed back to the client or hiring manager, creating a feedback loop that informs future project decisions.

And I think that the, the, as I mentioned earlier, the, the journey in my opinion starts as soon as that deal is done. So the client, the client offers, can accept, okay, now, now we're, now we're off to the races. And then it all starts from our onboarding call. So checking in with them is a, it's a contract. Are you clear on the contract? Are you clear on payment terms? You're clear how you're getting paid and stuff like that. And just checking in service, just to let you know, I've spoken to the client, they're really looking forward to you getting there, really excited you're getting started. Um, here's some pre-work, whatever it may be, here's some to make sure you're ready for your first day. And when they're in their first day check-in, make sure they're going well, first week check going well. But then we fall into that monitoring process where we monitor that contractor, need to making sure that they're clear on their expectations from their boss and the project and they're delivering how they are expected. There's no issues with pay. So I think that's the first starting point. But as that relationship evolves with that contractor, then it comes into what's going on, eyes and ears in the market, what else is going on in the project that you can make us aware of. And then we can take that back to the customer if there's any pain points that the contractor's finding, we can then take that back to the client or to the hiring manager.
