Freelance Work

SLIS, Inc works exclusively with freelance interpreters in private practice. We developed this structure from the preferences and input of working interpreters in the greater metro Atlanta area, our first-served region. We enjoy the working relationships we have with these professional colleagues.

We offer freelancers excellent support in the form of varied assignment possibilities, great teaming, simple paperwork, timely payment, and genuine respect for your skills, your effort, and your time. You can work with us once, once in a while, during your time off from other things, often, or all the time.  We currently have most of our work available in Georgia, concentrated in the 27 county metro Atlanta area.  In addition, we have freelancers who work with us on assignments in their home-base areas all over the country.

Becoming an independent contractor with SLIS is easy. Contact us for our freelancer information packet. Complete this and return it with documentation of your credentials and liability insurance and you are ready to work! Currently SLIS recognizes RID certification and Georgia QA. We are willing to review your credentials for consideration if they are different (NAD, another state's assessment system).

As an interpreter co-owned and operated business we are directly experienced in all it takes to work successfully in the freelance field. SLIS is proud of the role we have had, in partnership with professional interpreters, in growing the field through both quantity of work and quality of working conditions. Adequate and accurate assignment information, qualified interpreters to share team assignments, streamlined administrative methods, true understanding of ethical issues, the need for flexibility and support, these are all elements SLIS offers the freelancers with whom we work. The characteristics we look for are those of a  real professional: whether a veteran or beginner, a person with a sincere dedication to the Deaf Community and to the Interpreting field, one who is willing to ask for what they need, take responsibility for their actions, show respect for themselves, for their team, and for their consumers, one for whom interpreting is both a job and a pleasure.

  We would look forward to working with you!
