What is Upwork

What is Upwork

Upwork is currently the world's largest freelance work community that can be used to find relevant talents.

How it works

1. Post a job (free of charge) and introduce the relevant job responsibilities and job requirements;

2. Freelancers come to you and submit proposals. You can compare bids, check reviews and previous work, and conduct interviews to discuss salary and benefits;

3. The freelancer decides to cooperate with him/her and sends an offer for employment. The freelancer then accepts the offer and the contract takes effect (the funds are deposited into the third-party escrow Escow);

4. Freelancers start working, submit their results after completing the work and ask for payment. At this time, you need to review it and pay the salary if you are satisfied.
