How is FreeUp Different From Other Marketplaces?

Hiring online can be complicated, and you have a lot of options to chose from.

So what sets FreeUp apart from all the other choices online?

I’m glad you asked!

In this post, we’ll explore the top reasons why FreeUp is different and how we solve the shortcomings of other platforms for hiring freelancers.

Here are the core factors that make FreeUp different in all the best ways:

1.  Access The Top 1% Of Online Talent

With other platforms, anyone can sign up and start applying for jobs. This leaves you inundated with profiles and proposals to sort through, qualify and pass to the next round.

How would you like to just cut straight to the top, most qualified applicants?

Since day one, FreeUp has pre-vetted every freelancer who wants to sign up to work.

All freelancers on the FreeUp marketplace go through the FreeUp pre-vetting process which involves an application, assessment, & video interviews.

The vetting process is strict, and only about top 1% of the applicants are brought onto the network.

This makes sure that you’re getting quality applicants right from the start.

What We Look For in Freelancers

Verified Skills & Experience

Every freelancer who hopes to join FreeUp must present a demonstrated capacity in his or her offered skillset. A list of skills is not enough, as it is on most platforms. Freelancers must be able to prove that they have these skills and know-how to use them to get positive results.

Excellent Communication Skills

Hard skills are not enough to make someone a top freelancer, communication skills are also extremely important.

We vet freelancers for their ability to communicate clearly & effectively. Freelancers who want to be a part of FreeUp must show that they can and do communicate at a very high level.

Positive Attitude

We also vet for attitude. Freelancers on the platform must have the right attitude to be part of a marketplace that takes pride in giving top service to clients.

A central aspect of this three-pronged approach to successfully pre-vetting freelancers is spotting the red flags that give even the most practiced con artist away.

Most people simply have not hired enough to quickly and easily recognize the clues that point to either a good or a bad hire.

Having gone through the hiring process so many times, the team at FreeUp has become experts, and we now use our knowledge and experience to make hiring better for everyone else.

2. Fast Hiring: Get Connected In Days, Not Weeks or Months

With other platforms, the hiring process can be long and tiring.

Instead, we connect you with a qualified applicant usually within 24 hours or less.

That way you don’t have to sift through hundreds of applications (we do this part for you!)

Our marketplace doesn’t leave matching up to robots, and always considers both the clients’ and the freelancers’ best interests. The result is accurate matching that satisfies both sides and results in top performance.

3. No Turnover

With FreeUp, if a freelancer ever quits (which rarely happens), they will be replaced ASAP at no extra cost.

We understand that losing a pair of hands means lost opportunity. Business owners need every task completely covered all the time. This is why FreeUp vets for commitment, among other specific traits.

Anyone who raises red flags for quitting on clients without good reason is not going to be a fit for FreeUp. In the event that a freelancer does have to stop working for a client, FreeUp will immediately find and introduce a replacement.

4. Concierge-Level Support & Service

Above all, you want to make sure that you find the right hire and you’re taken care of.

That’s why we put together a stellar support team to help you with anything you need.

We offer 24/7 live chat, 24/7 support, and an amazing account management team that can help you with any questions you have.

Final Thoughts

FreeUp is different from the other online hiring platforms because it is focused on solving the most common pain points of anyone who’s ever tried to hire freelancers through a website.

And FreeUp does this spectacularly because its founders have experienced all of these frustrations and their effects firsthand.

FreeUp is not just another place to hire freelancers, it’s the solution to your hiring problems.
