Nothing really comes to mind! Maybe a video conferencing feature?
We have been able to find affordable talent from all around the world to solve specific problems we have. If you can conceptualize a problem, Upwork helps you find a person to solve it.
it's very easy to use for messaging candidates and making calls
I wish I could filter candidates by city
I'm hiring subcontractors all over the country
I like Upwork due to your money security. This is a scammer no gone zone since once you offer a job and it's done Upwork provides money protection of the freelancer. It's also a good platform to showcase your skills. Its has both desktop and android application making your job application process easier
The hassle to get a job on Upwork. As a newbie in Upwork, you may stay even years without getting a job, this is because most clients look at your previous job performance, the rising talent, jb success, and paid amount. You might be good at a job but never get it. Upwork should find a way to balance this to encourage more people on the platform
Looking for freelancing jobs. Our marketing team uses this platform t look for clients for our company.
We use Upwork regularly to find talented freelancers and agencies that can provide work for us either on a contract basis or for ongoign work. What I love the most is that the pool of talent is incredible and since the providers come from all over the world you can find reasonably priced workers, that can achieve excellent results, competing for your business. 99% of the time we have been exceedingly happy with the providers we've worked with.
There isn't much that we dislike about Upwork. The only thing I wish they woudl incorporate is a fee calculator. It would be good to know beforehand what my TOTAL cost will be (Upwork's fee included) when deciding on a budget for a project.
Using Upwork allows us to keep from having to have full or part-time employees on payroll to do work that is not necessarily always needed. It also allows us to work with freelancers that may not necessarily be local and whom we wouldn't have been able to find otherwise. It helps us save time, money and resources.
Nowadays is pretty simple to find a job online. But security about the work that you will do is even more important than the job that you will find. With Upwork, you will get hired very soon if you are a talented freelancer and you will also find very easy lots of talented freelancers if you are a buyer. Upwork has made it very easy for both, freelancer and buyers to complete their needs.
oh, it is nothing I dislike about Upwork.
I have worked with hundreds of clients. I have assisted in many projects and I have rooted my career by being a freelancer on Upwork.
building my skills and growing my own talent to a different extent.
So far, no feedback, no changes required.
I got a lot of knowledge and good exposure to move forward, adding much more to my skills and expertise.
Upwork has a large community of talent at reasonable rates, and the interface works just fine for what you need.
My gripes with Upwork are all minor, like how people show an hourly rate for work that is never paid for hourly (such as editing, which is generally by word count), or how it's an extra step to "cancel" a contract after you've paid someone. I always feel weird canceling something instead of closing it or saying its done.
I use Upwork to support my small company with a lot of services. In particular, content marketing and SEO contractors have done a lot of work for us from Upwork, but we've also hired translators, website builders, people for data entry, researchers, and I'm sure others as well.
It provides me with a side hustle where I can earn extra money as a freelance administration support assistant aside from my day job as a customer support agent. I love that I can sieve through hundreds of job postings and send a proposal to my desired posting. I also love that it's remote so that I can work from anywhere.
I don't particularly appreciate that I get to encounter unverified paying job postings. I also wish there could be various payment methods.
I can secure transcription jobs, virtual assistance, and data entry jobs. I can network with a vast number of people and create significant and respectable relationships.
I. Ensures availability of jobs on a real-time basis. II. Finding and screening the best available jobs fitting one's capability along with the best capable person for any job. III. Time tracking feature (job placement time to delivery). IV. Payment verification and collection. V. Excellent platform of earning and sourcing capable persons for the jobs. VI. User-friendly.
I. Communication system is a little bit confusing. II. Takes a considerable % of earnings as the fee is increased.
I have been hiring freelancers through Upwork for completing my pending jobs on time in full. This interface has helped me realize the requirement of the senior managers through executing the required activities.

Getting Freelancers with Proficient skills to get work done for me.
