JobDee for business

Add project capacity without going through a permanent hiring process

What this works well for

A website redesign, a new product photography set, a batch of documents to translate — work where "done" is measurable.

Motion graphics, audio, or engineering drawings needed a few times a year and not worth a permanent hire.

A product launch, a festival season, or covering parental leave.

A two-week project tells you more about communication and quality than three interview rounds.

Work requiring permanent access to internal systems
If someone needs standing access to customer or financial systems, that belongs to an employee with a full contract and confidentiality agreement.
Responsibilities that never end
Round-the-clock system ownership or daily customer calls do not fit a per-project arrangement.
Work with an undefined scope
If you cannot yet say what the deliverable is, hire a consultant to frame the problem first, then hire someone to build it.

Figures are Thai-market approximations for comparing priorities, not a quote

Factor	Freelancer	Agency	Employee
Time until someone starts	3–10 days	2–4 weeks	6–12 weeks
Cost per project	Lowest — you pay for the work done	1.5–2× higher	Salary + benefits + desk
Who manages the work	Your team	The agency’s project manager	Your team lead
Continuity if someone drops out	Low — you find a replacement	High — the agency swaps people in	Medium, with a handover period
Knowledge of your business	Builds slowly; rebrief each time	Medium, held by the agency	Highest
Paperwork and tax	3% withholding per payment	Full tax invoice	Income tax + social security

The part procurement and finance ask about first

Item	Responsible	Detail
3% withholding tax	Client (legal entity)	Deducted from the fee and remitted to the Revenue Department, with a certificate (form 50 tawi) issued to the freelancer. Without it, they pay the same tax twice.
Receipt	Freelancer	Anyone can issue one, stating name, address and tax identification number.
Tax invoice (7% VAT)	VAT-registered freelancers	Only available from those registered for VAT (revenue above THB 1.8m a year). Confirm before agreeing the work if your finance team requires one.
Contract for work	Both parties	Not legally required for small jobs, but advisable above roughly THB 50,000 or where intellectual property is involved.
Confidentiality agreement	Drafted by the client	Needed if the freelancer will see customer data, cost prices or unreleased plans.
Copyright in the work	Set out in the agreement	Under Thai law copyright sits with the creator unless assigned in writing. Put it in writing before work starts.

This is general background, not tax advice. Confirm the details with your accountant before the first payment.

1
Collect the roles into one list
Half a day
Write the deliverables for each as bullet points, with a budget and a date. This step saves more time than anything else in the process.
2
Name one decision-maker per role
Immediately
Contradictory feedback from three people is the single biggest cause of projects dragging on.
3
Publish the whole set together
Reviewed within 24 hours
Above 5 postings a day, write to us through the contact form and we will lift the limit.
4
Compare applications in one pass
3–5 days
Let proposals accumulate for a few days, then compare them side by side. Replying to each as it arrives produces worse choices.
5
Agree payment milestones in writing
Before work starts
We hold no funds, so the agreement is between you and the freelancer. The common split is 30–50% on start, the balance on delivery.
