To me, easystaff connect is one of the safest and most straightforward freelance platforms I have ever tried. it may not be the most popular one but I believe that they will become a lot more recognizable. They don't have ratings. I mean, freelancers do get rated by customers but this rating does not affect my chances of getting a task/project. This it to my mind extremely valuable given how other platforms tend to give too much weight to such ratings. So, in practice it means that new freelancers simply do not have any chances against those who have been with the platform longer. I had an argument with a customer and I was in shock, in the best meaning of this word by how easystaff customer support stood up for me. I honestly was prepared to lose money despite having worked on the project. But someone did step in and I was paid for my time eventually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For me personally the way they let freelancers showcase their work is not quite suitable. What I mean is that I am an HR/recruiter for executive roles, and my cases can't really be presented as small image or 1mb file, as users are asked to post on their profiles. So, I feel like something has to be done about how different experts from different industries showcase their projects. But the good thing is I am allowed to post a link to my linkedin or other profiles, so customers can reach out to me personally to find out more about my cases. By the way, I feel like being able to leave my contact details within the platform only shows that the platform trusts its freelancers, which again is valuable and quite rare.

I like this platform because it's the only platform where I hired 2 people this fast. Everything was super smooth, from onboarding myself at the company to finding people. I was also surprised we were given a personal manager who actually did some recruiting for me. He gave me a list of profiles that best matched my task and I chose someone from the list.

I think its load times are sometimes driving me crazy. A UI this easy should not take this long. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Working with international clients through Easystaff Connect has been one of the most convenient experiences I have had so far with freelance platforms. My favorite part is how everything in this platform is designed to reduce bureaucracy and technical limitations.

Security is obvious. I love their escrow-like payment tool where the platform keeps the money right after I accept the task. This is critical for me given that I work with payment guarantees and an arbitrage team if needed.

Some projects I could find on Connect but two of my recent clients I invited to work through Connect because paying through Paypal was critical for them. (Connect supports payment through paypal.)

Overall, EasyStaff Connect has become my go‑to platform for collaborating with international clients because it has everything I need to work with remote clients.

Importantly, there is no subscription fee or minimum of active time on the platform. If I don’t use Connect for 2-3 months, it is okay - no charge or blocking the account. i just come back to it when I need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

it is nothing critical but i think there are not enough tasks/available projects on the platform yet. i mean i may have been lucky to find 3 tasks/clients in the platform, really. From what I see, there are far more freelancers that there are people searching for services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I recently tried EasyStaff Connect for the first time and overall, I’m pretty happy with the experience! I found a gig quickly. The pay was not too much, and I was not hopeful I would be able to withdraw this much right away, given how difficult international payments sometimes get. I was really ready to wait till some more money is stuck up in my account. And I was absolutely surprised when I got all of my $60 straight to my card in one sitting! Furthermore, I noticed the competition wasn’t overwhelming, which was a nice surprise as a newcomer. My account was empty pretty much, apart from a portfolio (I am a freelance copywriter and that supplements my corporate career). That said, I do think that the connection between EasyStaff Connect (the freelance service) and two other branches is confusing. I logged into EasyStaff Connect, but my account somehow ended up being in EasyStaff Payroll. I even had to log out and log back a couple of times just to double-check.

How complex the product system is. I logged in to EasyStaff Connect but I see Payroll's logo. I thought the products are separate. Had to ask in Customer Support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'd like to share my view of EasyBusy (now Connect!) as a client that used the platform to hire someone. Its greatest flex is that it's free. I only paid to the person I hired. Its second largest benefit is how I was able to find someone affordable and who spoke the language I spoke! Overall, my experience was fine. It took no more than a day to find the person I was looking for. And it was so easy to pay the lady I worked with! No mind-bending payment solutions, just a simple payment option right in the platform! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If there is one weakness, it's their chat - where I and my freelancer talk. We discussed a lot, and the chat space is primitive. I understand it won't be a problem when I work with this freelancer again (now that I trust her, we can talk elsewhere and pay through the platform). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've been poking around EasyStaff Connect for a couple weeks now, and I am getting a mixed opinion now. As a lead product designer, I see great potential in hiring talent globally, so I’m keen to try new platforms. The real game-changer here is that it’s totally free for companies to post projects which is a huge plus to me. The interface is clean and pretty intuitive to use, which is definitely important to me, since I value good design even in platforms I use to find designers. I see they have recently updated their website (now it’s called Connect), but the UI has not changed yet - I’m really looking forward to it! Now, the drawback – and it’s a pretty significant one right now – is the size of the talent pool. I posted three different tasks and ended up seeing a lot of the same faces applying. Like, almost the same six or so people for each project. Definitely not ideal when you’re trying to get diverse workforce. Overall, EasyStaff Connect has potential. If they can ramp up their freelancer base, especially in niche areas like UX, UI, and animation, I will definitely view it as my go-to source. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Limited talent pool at the moment unfortunately Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I’m a filmmaker, and I love to delegate tedious, technical tasks to freelancers. The problem has always been in finding the right people. After I moved to Barcelona, the problem only got worse now that I had problems with fast payments. Domestic money transfers are always easier than paying someone abroad. So I came across easybusy as a payment tool rather than a freelance platform in the first place. I was pleasantly surprised that there were active freelancers who sent an offer in response to my job post. I can choose people based on languages they speak, their past experience and reviews they already have on their accounts. I enjoy the platform quite a bit, and it really helps me focus on what’s necessary and streamline my production. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I want freelancers to be able to post more of their projects, but they are only limited to 3. Also, I think the UI needs to be changed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

From what I saw, I think it is an interesting opportunity for those starting out in Freelance. The HR section is super free as of now, no competition. I was excited to try something new and build presence on a new platform. I like how easy it is, really! Straight to the point, not too heavy on advertising inside, and the competition is fair too. I'd recommend easybusy to anyone looking to start their career in freelance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is the design and the amount of people there, both freelancers and companies that post jobs. I am sure that the platform will grow if they invite more people to it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I came to learn about EasyBusy through EasyStaff because my other client would pay me with EasyStaff. the marketplace is interesting but there are several features that make it seem less professional than it actually is. First, the design is still basic. I believe color palette, fonts, buttons, logo - everything needs revision and polishing. second, search results in Tasks are unfiltered, meaning although I chose the filed I still saw a lot of tasks that don't relate to my search request.

UI design could be more intuitive and streamlined Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

EasyBusy is still very new. I think I gave it the hardest test in a sense that I was looking for a 3-month partnership rather than a one-off gig contractor. And I liked the experience! I have only had one applicant, but they are awesome, and I like working with them. So I am pretty sure the platform works! I can't say I have been exploring it a lot. UI is okay, but it could be more intuitive. Functionality-wise, EasyBusy does what it should be doing, and that's enough for me. I really like EasyBusy does a background check on its freelancers. I know there are ways to overcome any identification, but I truly appreciate how much work goes into rapid and effective background check. Lastly, I should mention how fast transactions are. From what I know, wait times are 3 days on average. I am excited to see for myself, especially since my freelancer is CIS-based. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

EasyBusy just needs more time before it is complete. Like, some parts are being updated online, which may be weird to some, but I find it to be a sign of product improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
