This site is intended to collect in one single place the resources that will help IT professionals break out as an independent contractor, even if they only work as an independent until the next full time job comes along. Working as an independent contractor will help bring in money while you

conduct a full time job search.

We hope that this site will prove to be a valuable resource for the many newly unemployed techs out there that suddenly find themselves with good skills but no clear idea of how to take advantage of them.

to being a freelance IT consultant.

Anyone is welcome to use this site and it's resources for free. It is not necessary to register yourself with 1099 techs at all, but there are benefits if you decide to do so.

One of the purposes of this site is to introduce qualified techs with clients who need their services. We do this at no charge to the technician, because reputable companies are willing to pay a small premium to locate good qualified techs. . The only way to do this is to have interested techs register with us.

All 1099 Techs does is notify all registered techs of any job opportunities that we become aware of. Technicians are welcome to contact these companies and work out whatever price that they can. We do not want your money and you keep every dime you earn.

We also do not believe that technicians should have to make low-ball bids in order to work. National services like Onforce will try to tell you what your rates must be. Quite honestly, we are tired of everyone wanting to stick their hand in our pocket, and decided to put them all out of business!!

1099 Techs is also a resource for you to use when you need a little help in your area. Let us know the details, and we will notify our registered users of the opportunity.
