The platform economy, that we are all a part of now, requires a different mentality to do work in. There are now a number of companies that are actually fake, and use their reach to fraud customers. To be careful, the area of talent recruitment also needs a change in game plan. As several freelancers and part- time workers are part of many companies now, they need to be sourced, but with caution. For this, Upwork is the best platform. It uses big data to connect recruiters with the potential talent. Uber’s success with drivers can well be replicated by Upwork, when it comes to tech and content professionals. Three kinds of platforms are now in vogue. These are for transaction, innovation and a hybrid model. Upwork falls under the first category. The utility of Upwork is best in that it can work across verticals.
