“Working on Upwork made it easy for me to find great talent to create a new industry web and mobile app.”
“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.”
“Upwork enables us to differentiate ourselves from our competitors and produce content at a higher caliber.”
“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.”
“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."
"[Upwork] enables us to have multiple freelancers with different expertise helping us in different locations at any time we need."
“From day one, freelancers were our blueprint for success. This was our master plan.”
“The cost savings are great, but the real value [of flexible talent] is getting distributed expertise.”
“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 can hire engineers who code in different languages than we write internally. Our Pro is one of the best hires we've made.”
“Upwork has allowed me to build a great distributed team and run a SaaS platform successfully.”
“Even if [flexible talent] is not the content expert on a course, nearly every course has been touched by one.”
"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."
“When employees aren’t limited by internal skillsets and resources, they can leverage their time to create bigger improvements and change that help the team overall.”
“Independent talent changed how we handle development. They gave us the confidence to test new ideas and opened our minds to what’s possible.”
