Overall Satisfaction with Upwork

We use Upwork to access an entire world of talent, instantly. We've used it to find people to design artwork, transcribe research interviews, build contact lists, and more. We're a really small company, so it helps us fill gaps in our skill set.
  • Breadth of talent (thousands of freelancers, rated by users).
  • Ease of communication (instant chat, file sharing).
  • Instant access to talent (post a job and get replies within a few minutes).
  • I'd like the ability to share folders in addition to individual files.
  • On some occasions, I'd like to post a job without revealing my budget. Would be nice for freelancers to propose a price.
  • Saves a few hours of work per project (in job posting, interviewing, status calls).
  • Saves a few hundred dollars per project (versus hiring a local agency).
It's much more streamlined and comprehensive than your average local job bank.
I can't think of a scenario where Upwork doesn't work. Perhaps if you need to meet with your contractor face-to-face, you should look into a local option.
