Is there a fee to post a job with eJobShop?

No. The initial spec review process is free. eJobShop uses that process to determine whether or not the job is suitable for remote execution,  and whether the specification is complete. If the spec is not complete, eJobShop can help you complete it for a fee. If it is complete, eJobShop will then provide you with a list of the resources available to satisfy your specific needs, together with their rates.

After I submit a Job Request, then what?

You will be contacted by an eJobShop representative within one business day (usually much sooner).  Information will not be distributed to independent contractors until you approve such distribution.  There is no obligation to purchase anything until an appropriate contractor is identified and legal contracts are executed.

For Spec Reviews and Program Development, each of the following should be identified:

Goal(s) of the Application or Applet
Inputs to the Application/Applet
Application/Applet Outputs
User Interface requirements
Target Execution Platform(s)
Performance Criteria (Optional)
Schedule Requirements (Optional)
Test Plan

For Portability Testing, descriptions will be needed of the configuration(s) you would like tested (e.g. browser, OS, computer types, etc.).

For Development Jobs, who owns the resulting code?

All intellectual property rights are transferred from the developer to you via the contracts signed.  eJobShop is exclusively a service company;  we do not retain rights to the software provided.

What if my job requires access to my internal network?

Using protected accounts or even Virtual Private Network or Internet Tunneling technologies (provided by AT&T and other major telecom companies), together with the appropriate legal agreements, our independent contractors can remotely access selected information or applications on your intranet in a fully secure manner.

Can eJobShop help me with non-Java projects?

Our focus is on Java, but often the projects include work on related technologies (Ajax, HTML, XML, JavaScript, etc.) and in some cases we will help with non-java projects.  Java's progress toward true platform independence and the high rate of adoption by both developers and companies combine to fuel the growing market for distributed Java services in a wide variety of industries.
