"Upwork gives us the ability to scale work quickly and in a big way in response to changing business demand."
“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."
“Upwork lets me reach people who are experts in their field, from any place in the world.”
“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."
“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.”
“Using Upwork is a matter of effectiveness and efficiency. It’s all about being smarter on how we manage our time.”
"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."
“We can go to Upwork for exactly what we need, no matter what the scope requires. It has changed the way we get work done every day.”
“Upwork has allowed me to build a great distributed team and run a SaaS platform successfully.”
“Nearly every department in the company has at least one or two freelancers found on Upwork.”
“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.”
“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.”
“The cost savings are great, but the real value [of flexible talent] is getting distributed expertise.”
