What's different about a custom project?

The main difference is that custom projects are scoped after you've been introduced, during the discovery call. Here's a breakdown of standard vs. custom projects:


  1. With standard projects, you first create the project from your dashboard, then find the right professional to work on it. You will have outlined the scope and deliverables in advance as part of the project submission process.
  2. With custom projects, you first find the right professional, then co-create a project for them to work on. This will happen during the discovery call, where you discuss the overlap between your business needs and the Experteer’s skills and availability to decide what the scope and deliverables should be.

Once the match is confirmed, the rest of the process is the same: we'll ask you for project start and end dates, guide you through the planning process, and check in regularly to ensure you're having a successful engagement together.
