Do you need a project done today but no one can get to it just yet? You have probably come across this situation a few times. You know that when you need help on the spot and can’t get any, it throws a monkey wrench into things. But how do you get new help when you need a project done today, pronto, without delay?
You want to hire the best person, but you don’t quite know where you can get a good worker on such short notice. If you have hired through online platforms before, you know that it takes quite a lot of time to create a task description, interview interested candidates, go through proposals, and hire.
But you need a project done today!
After all that, the worker may not even be able to start work on your project until a week later. Or, they might say that they can begin asap, only to disappear, leaving you stranded. You end up back to square one, minus all the time you have lost on top of the project that needed to get done last week.
FreeUp is a fast-hire marketplace that focuses on getting you the worker that you need, because we understand that sometimes you need a project done today. This marketplace was designed to meet the hiring needs of very busy people. You can find top talent on FreeUp that’s already been vetted for skills, attitude, and communication. You tell us who you need and you can be introduced to a worker match within hours. When you need a project done today, FreeUp is the place to go.
FreeUp was founded by two very busy eCommerce entrepreneurs with a lot of hiring experience. They suffered through the hiring process for years, meeting strange people, making bad hires, and wading through – or drowning in – online platforms. They knew that there had to be a better way, but couldn’t find it on any available marketplace. They built FreeUp as an answer to the hiring hassles that they found many business owners endure. When you need a project done today, FreeUp is the place to go.
The FreeUp marketplace recruits freelancers and accepts applications from freelancers all over the world. Before they can get into the network and access available projects, they go through a vetting process. Each freelancer submits their resumé or CV, then individually goes through a set of two interviews and a final test to determine a wide range of attributes. This process is uncommon for online hiring platforms, and it is there for good reason – it takes the burden of vetting freelancers for basic elements off your plate. So, when you need a project done today, you can find a worker who can do it.
The recruitment phase is a combination of written forms and one-on-one Q&A sessions that test basic skills, task-specific skills, professionalism, Internet access, ability to meet deadlines, personality, cultural fit, and more. The point of all this is to verify skillsets and remote work setups to assure that clients get the best possible experience. FreeUp interviews hundreds of freelancers every week, and only the top 1% of get into the network.
FreeUp is a very hands-on platform unlike the usual project board sites. They establish and maintain personal contact with all their clients and freelancers to provide assistance throughout the hiring and work process. Unlike other popular freelancer marketplaces, FreeUp provides near round-the-clock support at no extra cost. Support is available to assist with any and all client concerns. The CEO, Nathan Hirsch, is also often available to personally take care of issues or to answer questions about the marketplace and its policies.
When you need a project done today, and you can’t waste time going through the whole hiring process, FreeUp is a great solution. It’s fast, it’s free, and it gets results.
When you’re in a hurry, you don’t want to go through any unnecessary processes. You need a project done today. If you had all that time, you’d probably rather do it yourself that have to find and interview someone to do it.
The sign-up process at FreeUp is very simple, and it’s there to protect you and your information. To sign up for an account, all you need to do is provide your name and contact information. This creates a secure account that you can access with a password. With this secure account, you can safely add in your payment details so that you can be securely billed for any hires you make moving forward. There is no charge for signing up, so you can rest easy. You will not be billed until the new hire starts working.
As soon as your account is set up, you can go straight in and fill up your first worker request. It’s a short form that takes only a few minutes to fill up. You will answer a list of multiple choice questions that has been designed to identify your specific needs. This is so that FreeUp can identify the best candidate for your project.
You can filter out candidates by choosing whether you want a worker from the US or outside of the US, someone who can do that rush task if you need a project done today, and the like. There are no descriptions to compose or profiles to sort through.
Typically within a few hours, you will be introduced to the best available freelancers in the marketplace. You can have a free 15-minute interview with each candidate before you hire to get a feel for their character and skills and to discuss the project. You can also hire on the spot and immediately get down to the details. Hiring is accomplished at the click of a button. Once you hire, the worker can begin tackling the task at hand.
To make it very simple for everyone, FreeUp has its own internal time tracking and billing system. The worker uses this to log hours worked, and this time log and the respective dollar amounts appear immediately on your account dashboard. You can see how much time they spent on a task, and how much it cost you.
There is no extra charge for this system. You will pay only for the hours that the worker works, even if it ends up being only one hour. At the end of each 7-day billing period, you will receive a bill and be charged. If you have any concerns about the amount that you are being billed, the FreeUp assistants are always available to help you out.
In the rare instance that you have a problem with the worker that you hired, FreeUp is also there to assist in resolving the issue. If you have to let that worker go, FreeUp can quickly find you a new one.
No other freelancer marketplace gives you all these benefits at no additional cost. Few other freelancer marketplaces will pre-vet candidates and introduce them to you as quickly. The FreeUp founders know your pain, and they have specifically designed the marketplace to provide quick and effective relief.
