THE BEST WAY TO UTILIZE SKILLEDUP LIFE'S SERVICE

Out of 100% of tech startups, only 10% survive and grow, and the rest fail and are shuttered. The reasons for the failure could be many but include failure to produce a product that creates demand, inadequate finances, and inadequate human resources.

If you are able to generate a solution to a problem that needs to be solved, then you have the capability to build a tech startup. But building your tech startup with SkilledUp Life will put you in the 10% of tech startups that grow and become productive.

SkilledUp Life helps tech startups that are building scalable digital products. This excludes software development companies, marketing agencies, digital transformation businesses, consultancies, and other service businesses. If your company does not qualify as a tech startup building scalable digital products when you sign up, SkilledUp Life deletes your account.

HOW TO UTILIZE SKILLEDUP LIFES SERVICES

SkilledUp Life has a pool of free talent that, as a tech startup, you can utilize to turn your idea into a brand. Developing a product that attracts great demand is a challenge for tech startups. At SkilledUp Life, we leverage the skills of our free talent, who will help you develop a product that will get a high market share and have the potential to grow wider.

Here is how you can gain access to and utilize the services that SkilledUp Life offers:

Create a company profile

As a tech startup, you have to sign up with SkilledUp Life and create a company profile. Make the company profile inspirational by explaining what you are building and your status as a tech startup.? For your tech startup to utilize the free talent, subscribe to the appropriate pricing plan. SkilledUp Life has three pricing plans that offer the same benefits. These pricing plans are designed to suit the stage of a tech startup. The more investment a tech startup has secured, the higher the pricing plan.

At SkilledUp Life, we offer the freedom to cancel your subscription at any time. We do not offer refunds, so once you unsubscribe after the end of the current month, no further payments will be taken.

Publish volunteer opportunities

Publish volunteer opportunities to leverage the free talent pool.? The talent is completely free; the subscription is to publish volunteer opportunities, access the dashboard, and get help when you need it. SkilledUp Life offers you a template to follow when posting volunteer opportunities. As a tech startup, when posting your opportunities, make them compelling to grab volunteer attention.

When volunteers submit their applications, be proactive and search for volunteers that fit your free talent requirement. At SkilledUp Life, we highly recommend that you respond to your volunteers as they apply; this is important as they will feel valued and eager to apply for other upcoming opportunities.?

After the volunteers are shortlisted, have a single chat with them before onboarding. This offers an opportunity to get to know the volunteer and get a sense of the commitment the volunteer can portray before onboarding the volunteer to the tech startup.

Before the project task commences, ensure both parties sign a volunteer agreement. There are three important aspects that SkilledUp Life requires you to follow and be clear about:

• You cannot pay volunteers, not even a stipend.
• You cannot give volunteers any financial benefits that might have a tax implication, e.g., Amazon vouchers.
• You cannot make promises of future paid work, including contracts or employment.

Manage via the dashboard

Once your volunteer poll is on board, use the dashboard to manage opportunities, shortlist applicants, and communicate with them. As a tech startup, you have a pool of free talent at your disposal to leverage their skills and talent for your startup's development and growth, and SkilledUp Life does not put a limitation on how many volunteers you can source from our platform, but if you plan to have more than 3 volunteers, we suggest you consider securing an HR volunteer first who can help you manage to source and onboard volunteers.

In conclusion, as a tech startup, subscribing to SkilledUp Life and paying your monthly subscription will give you the opportunity to best utilize the services that SkilledUp Life offers and build your idea into a successful brand. Be a part of the many tech startups that have reached productivity and become successful through SkilledUp Life.
