“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.”
“Nearly every department in the company has at least one or two freelancers found on Upwork.”
“From day one, freelancers were our blueprint for success. This was our master plan.”
“Upwork really helps our marketing team find new talent, run experiments and see if things are going to work a lot faster than we could otherwise."
“It’s so important to be able to find the people and skills we need, when we need them—and Upwork helps us do that.”
“Upwork evaluates the work description, the talent, and does the worker classification for us so we don’t have to worry about it—that was a really great feature in terms of getting legal buy-in.”
"A lot of universities aren't really innovating. They're kind of just doing what they've always done. So for us, Upwork is a flexible platform that allows us to innovate and do more."
"Upwork gives us the ability to scale work quickly and in a big way in response to changing business demand."
“Even if [flexible talent] is not the content expert on a course, nearly every course has been touched by one.”
“Working on Upwork made it easy for me to find great talent to create a new industry web and mobile app.”
“Using Upwork is a matter of effectiveness and efficiency. It’s all about being smarter on how we manage our time.”
“I attribute our success building and scaling our startup to Upwork. It’s how we recruit new people, manage payments and track deadlines.”
"[Upwork] enables us to have multiple freelancers with different expertise helping us in different locations at any time we need."
“As our team needs more support, Upwork is a critical resource, whether we onboard talent from our own networks or find skilled professionals on the platform.”
“We’ve been able to bring in folks who are experts in things that our company has never done before, so we can learn and make fewer mistakes."
