Upwork Reviews & Product Details

It's very easy to find good talent on the site and the resources I have hired have been very easy to work with. There are resources to fit my budget for each project that I have undertaken on Upwork.

There are so many choices sometimes it's hard to narrow it down.

I have filled gaps in my staff by using Upwork. Gaps in skill sets or in specific areas of need. I have been able to use Upwork to meet deadlines and produce better work than my staff could have, given the time constraints we have.

Upwork is my go to for technology that we cannot do ourselves. Never had a bad experience with upwork consultants! They seem to be available at all hours too.

I can’t say that I have had any dislikes.

WooCommerce, Linux, red hat...

I am so grateful for Upwork. I have been on the site since it acquired Elance. Since being on Upwork I have worked with numerous Enterprise clients including Nestle, Bissell, and Johnson and Johnson. I love that I can do work that I am passionate about on my own schedule.

I absolutely LOVE Upwork. The one thing I would change is that clients should not be able to post jobs without first having their payment verified. Additionally, Talent Specialists should not suggest freelancers to jobs in which they have not properly vetted.

Any problem I've ever had has been with unresponsive or rude Clients. Early on I had my identity stolen because one of the Upwork Talent Specialists recommend a job to me. However, the client was not properly vetted and ended up stealing my identity. When I let Upwork know they helped me by securing Experian for me. The benefits of Upwork are vast. I can be a professional while also having the flexibility to be a mom.

Upwork lets me find a great match between my services/skills and the needs of my clients. I can work on my schedule and also feels like I'm contributing greatly to my clients needs.

It can be difficult to get started on the platform and build a presence. There is a lot of competition from other freelancers so you need to make sure your skills and work stand out from the rest.

Upwork allows me to find clients all over the world that I wouldn't have access to otherwise as a freelancer. They also have a great payment protections for freelancers to ensure that I get paid in a timely manner and for work that I've done. In their top rated program they give proven freelancers a chance to remove some bad feedback from clients because sometime a job just doesn't go the way you expect.

I like the simple process of posting a job and getting qualified users to respond. I have used Upwork mainly to create new blog posts. I also like that I don't have to commit to hiring a writer or an employee, and instead, I can get help on a task or project basis. I also like how easy the payment system is. I know that I will not get scammed and that my money for payment of the job is secure until the work is complete.

Sometimes some I get so many qualified responses to the job offer that it can be overwhelming.

I am getting the assistance that I need for my business and getting it on my terms. I can set what I want and need in the job and easily find the help to accomplish it.

Where you could be trawling the Internet looking for work, Upwork puts the potential jobs right in front of you. You can find work in all of these niches: Copywriting, IT and Technical, Virtual Assistance, Sales and Marketing and many more.

Some projects are the USA specific. Especially with my skill sets, which is much in demand in the USA, Upwork has the option to post projects only for USA, which can not be applied by any Indian website developer like me.

I have many issues come up during my tenure with Upwork and notifying the same to their support, quickly brings an answer to all my issues. I can then take a decision based on their response.

High quality employees in lightning fast time! I like that I can get high quality employees from around the world to work for me on things I have no idea how to do! As a small business owner I like that I can get things done without hiring an employee and dealing with paperwork when it's a single gig job.

The UI is a bit overbuilt I think. you can do everything you need to do, but sometimes difficult on phones and not intuitive.

Upwork allows me to hire employees for a small business for specific projects as opposed to full time employees.

Central location for getting work that is suited to my skill set.

The support process is a bit slow when you need something quick.

I am solving my biggest problem, finding business. The best benefit for using Upwork is that it's a central location to bid and manage all of my business.

The most helpful was to make an Agency and grow my team. I was able to add people of various skills working together for clients across the globe.

I won't say a dislike, but an improvement could be some recognition awards for each discipline or may a kind of social network within Upwork users. Where people can meet each other, get acquainted, and can help in growing.

I would say my business is 70% dependent on Upwork. 70% of my client are from Upwork only. It's helping me exploiting the potential of mine my team and to the maximum extent. I can confortably say that I am in business because of upwork only.

Easy to post and review applicants. And great for project-specific hiring like photo editing or web design.

Many freelancers can be very slow to respond to messages so the process can take a while.

Hiring for specific needs where a full-time hire would not be prudent.
