HOW DO I FIND THE RIGHT FREELANCER?

How do I know my freelancer is going to get the job done? It’s easy. First think about the skills you need, then describe your job and post it. Next wait for freelancers to submit their best proposals for your review. You can also invite freelancers to submit proposals from potential matches we highlight, or search our entire freelance community for that perfect fit.

Does Upwork screen freelancers? At Upwork we strive to provide a fair and trusted marketplace. This includes working diligently to verify that freelancers are representing themselves correctly. We begin by authenticating the email address of registered users. We then provide many forms of screening for clients to use, from online tests (where freelancers can demonstrate their expertise) to our Job Success score. Ultimately however, it is your responsibility to do the final screening to help ensure that the freelancer is a great match for you and your project. We do have features in place to help facilitate the screening process, from Upwork Messages for real-time communication with freelancers to custom screening questions to assist you in identifying the best matches.

What is the Top Rated Program? Our Top Rated Program is designed to showcase talent who consistently deliver at the top level of their field. Freelancers who achieve this level display a Top Rated badge on their Upwork profile, representing great work, excellent relationships with clients, and other critical factors in creating successful projects.
