About Upwork
Upwork is a freelance marketplace offering freelancers across various categories, moderating individuals through reviews and ratings. Probably the best marketplace for freelancers, but still suffers from the usual troubles of talent marketplaces - unreliable quality, long time to find freelancers, etc.

When to use Upwork
When to use Upwork
Best for very small companies where cost is the main concern or when the work is not very core to the company
I’ve used UpWork to hire several freelancers as well as to find freelance work. They’ve taken great strides in helping those that do good work stand out. The big downside comes with pricing as they charge clients a percentage on top of whatever is agreed with a freelancer and they also take a pretty hefty percentage from freelancers to start (20% until $500 in billables, then 10% until 10,000 in billables, and then 5% - this fee structure is per client).

UpWorks makes it easy to hire people on a project-basis. Have used it several times to hire developers and translators.
