“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.”
“I’m not aware of any other platform that’s as customizable as Upwork.”
“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."
“Our experience with the freelance economy and Upwork has given us the basis for continual production in the future and even larger scaling of our team and department within Microsoft.”
“One of the biggest advantages of utilizing freelancers is finding a great variety of talent with different skills. And bringing on new talent quickly as our needs change."
“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.”
“Using Upwork is a matter of effectiveness and efficiency. It’s all about being smarter on how we manage our time.”
“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.”
“Working on Upwork made it easy for me to find great talent to create a new industry web and mobile app.”

“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.”
"The Upwork platform is really intuitive we’ve found success across the board.”
“I attribute our success building and scaling our startup to Upwork. It’s how we recruit new people, manage payments and track deadlines.”
