Now once you have received the application, you should ask freelancers for their portfolios, portfolios could be in any form like jpeg, pdf or flash. You can also ask for online links of the work done by freelancers in past, this all will show you the capacity of which a freelancer is.

Next step is to go through all the portfolios briefly and select 3-4 of them; you can take help of some other people too in this work as this use to be most confusing task. Now, make a second round of interview for the selected people via mail if possible, this will help you to know better about freelancer.
