“Outsource to grow”

Manny C.
7/10/19

At Helium 10, our biggest bottlenecks have been our workforce -- growing faster than we can find qualified people to fill positions. Finding the right people is tough. Freeeup made it easy for us to hire an EA when we really needed it. Nathan and his team vet the workers to ensure we're getting top talent to help scale our business. And they are ultra responsive at FreeeUp. Highly recommended. -Manny Coats, CEO Helium 10

“Hasn't worked for me”

Mark O.
12/3/20

I've been a working, professional, freelance copywriter for over 20 years and have an extensive portfolio. I'm sorry to report that in the three months I've been registered with FreeUp, I have not received what I would regard as a single legitimate client referral. The 'clients' have all been either flakes or no-shows. ALL. OF. THEM. I'm beginning to wonder if this is a fake-it-til-you-make-it startup. Maybe another Theranos.

As a digital agency, we have a long list of specialized positions that need to be filled to successfully deliver on client expectations.

Having a way to find dedicated experts that are available on a contract basis for work between 5 and 20 hours per week through FreeeUp has been a huge contributor to our recent growth.

First off, I nearly died when I got a call from Nathan who owns the company to thank me for signing up. That is not something I experience from any company. I wanted to hire a writer and they sent me 3 well vetted writers in a beautiful email intro. I picked one and she did a nice job. It was a great way to try out the service. I have since sent out this group to my friends. Big fan!

I have been a freelancer since 1999 and in 2016 I was contacted by Nate and his team to see if I would be interested in Freeeup. The best decision I have ever made! I don't worry about clients, or getting paid or even marketing myself. Which allows me to have more balanced happier life! Thanks Freeeup!

Sure, you've heard about different online job sites and you wondered which is the best of them all. This 2019, FreeeUp emerges as a superb and promising freelancer marketplace. Their 24/7 support, flexible platform, expert freelancers and hands-on CEO will make it the next biggest thing... or is it already? So excited to see them on top! Kudos.

I applied as one of the company's freelancers because I am so tired of using other platforms and ending up feeling disappointed and frustrated. I was surprised by how fast they actually process an application. In less than a week (I think it only took me 4 days?), from applying to being accepted, I already landed my first client.
I intend to stay here at Freeeup because they only choose the top 1% of applicants to ensure quality outputs, and being one of them is such great honor.
I wish I applied earlier. For months I would patiently wait for my job applications to be processed. Some platforms would take a month before delivering the results. Here I can see how they value time, and everyone is so productive. I also like the support that they give to freelancers and the guarantee that they provide for clients. These are simply priceless!

One of my hires had a personal issue a couple months into our relationship. The Freeeup team was quick to help find a comparable replacement. Nathan makes himself available and is easy to contact. I'd definitely recommend.

Three best marketplace for freelancers, you get the variety and quality you need for your team. I'm able to get a year's worth of work done in a couple months my task list shrinks drastically every week. I love it such a great service!

After Nathan came on my podcast I decided to try out FreeeUp as I was in need of some strategic advice with regards to my FB ads and customer funnels. I received 5 freelancers ready to help within hours. I ended up using a guy who has dramatically improved my business.
FreeeUp was also very personable and attentive to my exact needs. Would definitely use them again!

FreeeUp takes the uncertainty of screening people away and lets you focus on the thing that matters the most: working with VAs.

The whole process is transparent, there are no hidden fees. The team at FreeeUp is very responsive and Nathan is super hands-on with all of his clients' queries which I really appreciate.

I literally only had to spend less than an hour on the phone with his recommendations before making a decision. I would highly recommend FreeeUp to anyone out there looking for VAs. Kudos to Nate's team!

I've spent hours of my time on top of thousands of dollars on hiring from a variety of sites like Upwork and Fiverr. NONE OF THEM compare to FreeeUp... not even close!

FreeeUp is a marketplace for freelancers that actually values both parties. Their VAs are highly qualified, phenomenal at communication, and (honestly) more organized than I am!

I'll never look anywhere else when hiring again. Thanks to Nathan and the FreeeUp team for providing such a killer platform

I learned of FreeeUp by chance and I'm glad I did. It came at a time when I needed to temporarily fill the shoes of a long term employee that left my company. I brought on a VA for one of my businesses and they have been great and a tiny fraction of what an employee would cost. If you are a business owner considering hiring a freelancer or VA through FreeeUp I highly recommend you do. It will leverage your time and give you insurance if you have traditional employees. Nathan and his assistants are immediate in their response whenever I have a request or a question. 5 Stars service all around.

Nathan and his team are a god sent.

If you have any online retail business these guys are the best Freelancing Team to Hire.

I use them for

Customer service

Graphic Design

Online Advertising and Marketing

So far I have been happy with 95% of the freelancers they have. The other 5% not really what happened.

It's been three years since I signed on with Freeeup as a freelance eBay expert. I have been supplied with a steady stream of work that continues to this day. Freeeup has built a solid reputation in the marketplace. Most new clients come in confident they will be introduced to a quality freelancer capable of meeting their needs. For a freelance worker, this client mindset is a huge plus.

This is the best freelancing platform that I've used so far in my 10+ years of working as freelance web developer / programmer. It's not only a client-friendly platform but also a platform that cares for its freelancers. Here you'll find the best talents in web development and e-commerce.

About 6 months ago, I ditched Fiverr and Upwork. I hire all of my freelancers through FreeeUp now and I haven't looked back ever since. The hiring is fast, efficient and the customer service is outstanding! More importantly however, they have amazing professional freelancers on their platform.

I consider this to be one of the best marketplace website to work on due to high level of freelancers and genuine clients. Each freelancer is getting enough opportunity to get connected to the clients based on their skills. This has been almost a year for me now since I joined and I was always busy working with clients. Their support team is very kind and helpful which I highly appreciate. Thank you!

I was doing some headhunting on Upwork when I came across Freeeup and decided to join. I was surprised at how easy it was to find a quality programmer since they do the headhunting for you and just send you people who are ready to go and meet your criteria.

Their freelancer marketplace is what I would recommend to people other than Upwork or anywhere else.

Maybe it's me, but I HATE siphoning through hundreds of freelancer resumes.
FreeeUp has mastered sending us the best candidates so I don't have to.

And the caliber of freelancers is amazing, so far 0% turnover (fingers crossed).

Freeeup takes care of their freelancers. They have an internal support team that you can turn to 24/7. They keep things simple and easy from job application, to negotiation of rates, to tracking your clients/pay, to getting paid. They have nice clients and plenty of long term projects as well.
If you're a freelancer, you've got to have Freeeup!
