Often, salary and benefits are only part of the equation. The best developers are looking for good compensation, but they also want more from their employers. The best employees are smart enough to know that other qualities besides money can add up to a higher quality of life. Steady increases in pay and steady benefits are good indicators of a healthy company however with that said an employer needs to start with an introductory pay grade to validate good developer relations, especially on Freelancer. The best developers in the world are looking to make the most of their careers. They want to be challenged. They want to be part of special projects. They want to make a difference. When you find people that share your values you know you've found someone that can potentially be a great asset long-term. The vision of developers should have their goals align with the company vision.This goes back to the idea of knowing how much you can promise while keeping that promise. Thank You
