Even if its a trusted member, i don't think OP should give full access to his server.
Installing core and setting up the daemon can be accomplished without giving direct access to anyone. The risks would be too high.

Well, as I mentioned, it's up to him.
But Trust Rating is something that can strongly label a member "trustworthy", why do we even let escrow services hodl thousands or hundred of Dollars in their wallets in the first place?

There might be a reason why Mr.tome needed to hire someone, if that's the case, my suggestion is valid.
If he chose someone without integrity, it's plainly his fault and clearly not what I've suggested.

Again, it's up to him.

I can't think of a single case where it would be urgent for a newbie to install bitcoind on a hosted server without having the time to read and follow a guide for 15-20 minutes.

A busy teamleader who got his hands full of workload because he didn't have a team to begin with, looking for a cheap way to have his own node without troubling himself on getting funds to buy the costly hardware.
Where am I? Uh, also, the teamleader is actually just a front-end developer.

I'm not saying that this is the case in the OP, just for reference.
