“Upwork is a great forum to trial talent at no risk and with great speed. Having the flexibility to invite someone to a job and get a response within minutes or hours is really important.”
“Independent talent changed how we handle development. They gave us the confidence to test new ideas and opened our minds to what’s possible.”
“Upwork is the best platform to hire skilled professionals when we're not looking for a full-time employee. All the companies in our portfolio use Upwork to find talent across a wide range of fields.”

“Through Upwork, I got access to high-caliber talent on terms that fit. I dreamed of being an entrepreneur but, like most female founders, I’m also self-funded; I don’t come from a wealthy family, I have a mortgage, I have an elderly parent I care for. Without the opportunity to work with professionals like [Dr. Kami Anderson] on a part-time basis, we would not have been able to launch. Period.”
“If we weren’t able to turn around talent requests at the quantity, quality, and velocity that we can because of our relationship with Upwork, I think the talent acquisition function would quite quickly be overloaded.”
“Now, we have a partner that understands us and our brand and they can scale to support us because they have the experience and expertise."
