“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."

“I love the platform and the amount of talent I have access to. We really couldn’t be this far along without help from the talent on Upwork.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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 is great for crowdsourcing ideas without letting budgets get out of hand, especially when you don’t know where to start, you want to try something new, or you want to get fresh ideas to take something to the next level.”

“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.”

“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.”

"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."

“The cost savings are great, but the real value [of flexible talent] is getting distributed expertise.”

“Upwork enables us to differentiate ourselves from our competitors and produce content at a higher caliber.”

“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."
