To any potential employers: DO NOT USE ODESK ! I hired someone off their site to do some writing and wanted a native English speaker.
What I ended up with was 5 pages of garbage and a $100 bill. I questioned the writer and subsequently found out that it was not the person in the profile.
I reported this to Odesk and asked for a full refund. Odesk has responded and said I need to pay according to their guidelines. I have since found many fake profiles and Odesk do nothing about it.
They will ALWAYS side with the employee so that they get to keep their commission.
This is not the first time I have had trouble with them. They also remove negative ratings from the contractors.
