Unlike other online staffing sites that have less than stellar reputation with their contractors, we require an up front deposit to guarantee staff will get paid for hours worked. And we notify them as soon as your balance is negative. This is to ensure that you can always find the highest quality staff at Outbounders.com. Rest assured you can withdraw any unused funds from your account at any time, and if you have a dispute with agent you can request arbitration.
