Vetted WordPress developers at a published rate
Codeable is a hiring service for WordPress work with the rate written on the page rather than bid down in an auction. You describe the job, a few vetted developers estimate it, and the price lands inside a band the site tells you in advance. That suits somebody who wants their site fixed rather than a hiring process.
Our note
This is the expensive end of WordPress help and the honest one, since the rate is on the page instead of at the bottom of a negotiation. Use a general marketplace when the job is small and Codeable when breaking the site would cost you more than the quote.
Only on this side
Startup job posts, free to publish
Wellfound, which spent a decade as AngelList Talent, is where startups hire and where people who want to work at one look. Posting is free and unlimited, with a built-in applicant tracker, and the money is in promotion and sourcing. For a creator business hiring its first editor or assistant, the free half is usually the whole of what is needed.
Our note
The free tier is the whole product for most people here. Post the role, use the tracker, and only reach for a Job Ad if two weeks pass without the right applicants.
