What’s the best alternative to upwork at the moment? I almost put a job on there but they spammed the crap of me and the process was way to much for what we needed done.
- benatkin 8y agoI've heard from a friend that Gigster is quite good. He's a freelancer so I don't have the client perspective.
- pluc 8y agomondo.com is recommended in the Twitter thread
- dexterdog 8y agoMondo is just a typical body shop. I did a very short contract through them once which was a nightmare. They took forever to pay and nobody seemed to understand the payment schedule so getting an answer as to when I was going to get paid was a constant punt of responsibility around the company. Sure it's just one experience, but they are crossed off in my book. I still get their recruiters emailing me on occasion (often more than one of them for the same position which is its own kind of mess), but I set the domain to just go right in the trash
- dylz 8y agoHilariously I've gotten phishing and malware from Mondo domain because their recruiters keep clicking on malware, compromising their accounts, etc.
- BjoernKW 8y agoWorking directly with freelancers. Middlemen such as Upwork charge a markup for little to no benefit.
