Short-term help for workers and employers
If you’re an out-of-work Web developer, designer, illustrator or copywriter struggling to find long-term employment, short-term job service Tinyproj can help you stay busy and compensated until something more permanent comes along.
And employers needing temporary help can find what they need at Tinyproj as well.
Tinyproj is a startup e-mail service designed to connect mostly Web-based developers, designers, illustrators and copywriters with companies and individuals who need paid, short-term projects completed.
People looking for workers can fill out a form on tinyproj.com with their name, e-mail address and a brief description (fewer than 1,000 characters) of the project.
They’ll also need to list the budget for the project, which should be between $500 and a few thousand dollars, and when they need the project completed (ASAP to 21 days).
After selecting whether they’re looking for a developer, designer, illustrator or copywriter, prospective employers can submit their project for Tinyproj approval.
Tinyproj reviews all possible jobs before e-mailing them to its list of potential workers in an effort to root out any scams or recruiter spam.
The process can take as long as a couple of days, but the clearer the job description and the more reasonable the budget, the faster the job listing will be approved.
Once your short-term job listing is approved, it costs $25 to have it e-mailed to Tinyproj’s roughly 8,000 developers, designers, illustrators and copywriters.
But it’s free to join this list of potential workers. You just need to enter your contact info and select the types of jobs you’re looking for, and Tinyproj will send you an e-mail every Saturday of all the new jobs posted in the course of the past week.
It’s up to a potential worker to make an introduction if he or she is interested in a project.
Companies and individuals offering work through Tinyproj are initially anonymous, and they can decide when they want to reveal themselves.
Despite Tinyproj’s efforts to ensure its postings are legitimate, the company encourages any potential employees to be smart and have a contract with their short-term employer.
