This episode is the second in a two-part interview with Connor Gillivan of Freeeup.com (Part One is here).  This time we look at his company and how they might be an excellent resource for you.  That holds whether you are a provider or if you are looking for help.

A Curated Model

Conner describes their model and approaches far better than I.  However, I will say that they have a different process for connecting workers and customers than many of the other sites.  They vet their resources and use that knowledge to match the best worker for a given project.  This method takes a lot of the guesswork out of finding a good customer or a good freelancer.  Truly a win-win approach to the outsourcing model.
