Question 1

What are bounties?

Accepted Answer

Bounties are project-based hiring tasks that allow you to evaluate real work instead of resumes. Instead of guessing based on credentials, you post a short, paid task and review actual outputs from candidates. This helps you identify high-quality talent quickly and objectively.

Question 2

How do I sign up as an employer?

Accepted Answer

You can sign up directly through the TalentOS platform. Once your employer account is created, you'll have access to the employer dashboard where you can create bounties, review submissions, and hire talent.

Question 3

What types of companies use TalentOS?

Accepted Answer

TalentOS is used by startups, small businesses, and growing teams looking for high-quality, cost-effective talent. Many employers use the platform to hire early-career talent, operators, developers, designers, marketers, and generalists.

Question 4

What is the success fee?

Accepted Answer

The success fee is a one-time payment that covers the end-to-end work of finding, vetting, and matching you with the right candidate for your role.

Question 5

When do I pay the success fee?

Accepted Answer

You pay the success fee only after you've been matched with a candidate you like and want to move forward with. There are no upfront hiring fees before you see qualified talent.

Question 6

What does the success fee include?

• Support you until you've found your ideal hire

• Payroll and salary administration
• Salary negotiations with talent
• Ongoing operational support for employer questions

Question 9

What is the 3-week talent swap?

Question 15

How do I create a bounty?

Accepted Answer

From your employer dashboard, click Create Bounty, select a template (or start from scratch), define the task, set the reward, and publish. Once live, talent can submit their work directly for review.

Question 16

What are best practices for creating a high-performing bounty?

Accepted Answer

To create a high-performing bounty:

• Keep the task clear, scoped, and realistic
• Define exactly what a successful submission looks like
• Use a paid reward to increase engagement
• Customize templates to match your real business needs

Question 17

How long does it take to get submissions?

Accepted Answer

Many bounties receive submissions within 24–72 hours, depending on task complexity and reward size.

Question 18

How does pricing work?

Accepted Answer

Employers set the bounty reward amount. You only pay for completed work that meets your criteria. There are no long-term contracts required to start.

Question 19

How much should I pay for a bounty?

Accepted Answer

For Myanmar-based talent, we recommend starting with $25–$50 USD for smaller tasks. This pricing range typically drives strong engagement while remaining highly cost-effective. Larger or more complex bounties can be priced higher.

Question 20

Do you provide templates or guidance?

Accepted Answer

Yes. TalentOS provides bounty templates for common roles to help you get started quickly. We recommend customizing them to fit your specific use case.
