Upwork

3,228 reviews

Upwork helps you find the right talent to get work done your way: post jobs, buy fixed-rate projects, get consultations, or work with specialized recruiters for help filling key roles on your team. It’s built for projects of all sizes, budgets, and ambitions — so you’ll have the right hiring solution faster than you can say “work awakening” (and not just because it’s kind of a long word.)

Global Talent and Flexibility, UI Needs Improvement

I like Upwork for multiple reasons. It's really critical for my creative projects, especially when it comes to finding graphic designers. For our new video podcast show, Off Her Cuff, I appreciated being able to choose from 40 responses, which I narrowed down to three creatives and selected one who delivered outstanding work. The professionalism of the designers on Upwork has surpassed my expectations, making it one of the best experiences I've ever had with the platform. The variety of talent available is expansive, with global reach allowing quick sourcing of talent from all over the world. I also like how Upwork profiles are set up; they help in my choice process by allowing me to look at reviews and earnings, ensuring I select high-level talent. The platform provides a lot of data, facilitating smarter buying decisions. Moreover, the price points are affordably set, which is especially beneficial for small business owners. I appreciate that Upwork is a safe place, where if something goes wrong, there's support to help resolve the issues. Overall, Upwork has been a huge problem solver for my business, making it my first choice for hard-to-solve creative problems.

Efficient Global Hiring with Safe Payments

I use Upwork for hiring and working worldwide, and I love how it facilitates faster hiring and offers better earnings. The platform connects me with great talents globally. I appreciate that it's safe, and I can work with clients worldwide, which allows us to earn more than we would in our own countries. The safe payments feature is especially valuable. I find Upwork pretty adjustable and good, making it easier to set up and use. I've even invited two clients to switch and pay me through Upwork. I’ve already referred Upwork to 5 of my friends and some colleagues and would rate it a 10 out of 10 for likely recommending it.
