Your relationship with
Biblioso begins by registering for an account on the Biblioso Portal. You can register for multiple services, if applicable.
Biblioso works with service contributors of any size, both individual
freelancers and companies. To register for a position, you must send us a resume. We might
also ask you for work samples and references. Based on the information you provide, Biblioso decides at its discretion your approved job categories. This usually happens after our first project offer to you. If you accept the assignment, your account is activated and you can participate in our documentation and localization projects as a full team member. |

Biblioso emphasizes teamwork,
highest standards of work ethics, honesty, and quality in all that
we do. Quality means timely deliveries within budget constraints according
to customer expectations and work descriptions. If you can meet these
requirements, we will be happy to review your resume. University degrees,
exceptional references, professional training, and work experience
help. If you are at the beginning of your career as a documentation
professional, however, credible work samples can fulfill the same
function. As a high-end documentation and localization company, we guarantee quality to our customers. For the same reason, we require all of our service contributors to guarantee the quality of their work as well. Biblioso is a place where people work hard, where people go the extra mile for best quality and service, where people care for each other, and where people win as a team. If you want to become a part of this team, you must share our values, our excitement for quality, and pride in our accomplishments. |

Biblioso service contributors
are independent freelancers and companies. They are contractors who
can choose their schedules and settings, so long as delivered work
meets project deadlines and quality expectations. Both service contributors and customers must sign a contract, provide tax identification information, and agree to a non-disclosure and non-compete agreement with Biblioso. Users of the Portal must also agree to the terms and conditions as well as the privacy policy. |
||
Most of the services that
Biblioso provides to service contributors are free of charge. Our
project offerings and access to the protected area of the Biblioso
Portal are free of charge, for example. The Biblioso Portal gives
service providers the opportunity to focus on their tasks without
excess concerns about technical problems, version control, locating
discussions and files through e-mail, and other typical distractions.
The Biblioso Portal makes available all necessary project resources,
including documents, glossaries, style-sheets, and a discussion and
issue tracking feature. Service contributors can finally focus on
their particular tasks.
Biblioso’s commitment to technological innovation goes beyond the visible features implemented in the Biblioso Portal. We develop tools for service contributors free of charge to increase their efficiency. These tools use the Biblioso platform as the backbone. Additionally, we also offer several free services related to sales assistance and consulting. Within reasonable effort, we help you win customers and organize your customer’s documentation processes, as long as our NDA and contractual agreements are not violated. We are also happy to provide you with truthful references regarding the work and performance levels you achieved in our documentation and localization projects. |

The process of setting
up documentation and localization projects involves assigning appropriate
resources to each individual task in the project plan. The project
manager performs this step. When adding your user account to a project
as a resource, the project manager contacts you through e-mail asking
about your general availability. It is important for you to answer
this e-mail promptly. In urgent projects, the project manager may
even contact multiple service contributors concurrently. The first
respondent works on the project in most cases. However, timely responses
to project offerings are not the only criteria for the project manager's
final decision. The project manager may also consider work experience,
past performances, etc.
Your ability to meet suggested project timelines and deliveries is usually not the most critical factor in the project manager's decision to award you a part in the project. The project manager's proposed deadlines for your tasks are suggestions. It is up to you to confirm them or to tell your project manager otherwise. You must provide the project manager with reliable, realistic deadlines that you can hold. Once all team members have confirmed their delivery dates, the milestones will be locked in the project plan. Then, the project manager confirms the final project end date to the customer, and from this point forward, the performance of the entire team is measured against the confirmed deadlines. |
