Why should you hire a freelancer?
There are two very valid reasons I can think of. First, it reduces cost. You do not have to keep paying when there is no work.
Second, you get access to a wide range of talents. If you do not like the work of one freelancer, you can hire someone else very quickly. This saves time as well.
You can always think of other good reasons if you have time.
Instead of focusing on why to hire a freelancer, let me turn your attention to a list of places where you can find exceptionally talented freelancers.
I am never claiming that these places have only talented freelancers. That cannot happen. There will some who are callous, irresponsible, and do not know what they are doing. Their talent is as good as ‘non-existent.’
You, as a hiring manager, need to filter out the bad crowd and focus on the skimmed cream. You need to interview them and ask for work samples to further narrow down your search.
I guess, you already know the drill.
So, let us save our precious time and get straight to the list of best places to find and hire freelancers.

#1. UpWork
UpWork is perhaps the most popular name. With a collective list of 12 million freelancers waiting to get your job done. UpWork is not a specialized platform. So, you can find freelancers who can create videos to those who can accomplish complex coding tasks, to those who can work only on data entry tasks.
Post a job, and you will find someone or the other having experience in the relevant field. Sometimes it may take hours for the first bid to show up, and sometime, you can get dozens of proposals within a few minutes. It all depends on the complexity of your job as well as your budget.
You can decide to go for a fixed pricing model or an hourly pricing model. The hourly pricing model is perfect if you are unsure about the work volume, or if you are unsure about how much time it will take to complete the work.
You will find all kinds of talents on Upwork. Writers, designers, animators, video creators, data entry professionals, translators and transcribers, engineers, coders, doctors – you name it and UpWork has someone or the other for you.
Your money will be safe. You start by hiring a freelancer and putting the money in Escrow. UpWork will hold the money on your behalf. Once the freelancer completes the work and you accept it, you can request UpWork to release the fund and pay the freelancer.
#2. Freelancer
Like UpWork, Freelancer is a massive freelancing website with millions of freelancers waiting to bid on the projects people post.
You can find just about any type of talent you need. They have data entry folks to high end coders and designers, animators, writers, and what not.
The moment your project goes live, you will start receiving bids from across the world. You do not need to limit yourself to freelancers from your country. You can hire someone halfway across the world on the other hemisphere.
As always, the hiring process is all dependent on you. You may or may not choose to interview the potential freelancers. However, it is advised that you do to prevent potential hiccups during the project.
There is no pricing model. You are free to choose the price for your project but be reasonable. Do not offer an exceptionally low price for something big. You will not find people willing to work for you.
Once you hire someone, you need to fund the project and put the money in escrow with Freelancer. Upon successful completion, you need to release the fund so that Freelancer can pay to the person who worked on your project.
#3. PeoplePerHour
The name says it all. Most of the jobs on that platform are based on hourly pricing model. So, if you are looking for a freelancer of this platform, you should go for that model.
While you can find freelancers for just about anything, PeoplePerHour put more focus on SEO, social media marketing, and developers.
You can find people who can design logos for you or build you a website from scratch using your preferred coding language, or write content for your website, or edit videos and photos, and more.
The platform might not be as massive as UpWork or Freelancer, but they boast a collective freelancer strength of 3 million skilled individuals ready to get your job done.
Big brands like BBC, Forbes, Financial Times, Business Insider, CNBC, etc. hire freelancers from this platform.
On this platform, you can rest assured that your project will be completed the way you want it, irrespective of the project size.
You do not have to worry about losing your money. The company has a safe escrow system in place that will ensure that neither you nor the freelancer is losing money. And yes, they also have anti-fraud mechanism in place to protect both the clients and the freelancers.
#4. SimplyHired
SimplyHired may appear to be a completely different world where people can hire only full-time employees for working from office.
That is not the case. You can use this platform for hiring freelancers to work remotely as well. You just need to post your job requirements and you will start receiving proposals.
What is interesting about this platform is that a freelancer from your local area can find your job and send a proposal.
Over three million employers worldwide find their perfect employees from this platform. You too, can get your perfect freelancer!
#5. Toptal
Toptal is no ordinary freelancing platform. Only the top 3% of the freelancers across the globe make it to this platform. So, if you have a project that requires huge experience and absolute precision, Toptal might be your best bet.
World’s most famous brands and startups hire freelancers from this platform. Some of the notable names are Airbnb, Duolingo, Bridgestone, Shopify, USC, etc.
The platform focuses on only a few specific niches that include Developers (engineers and coders), Designers (UI, UX, Visual), Product Managers, Project Managers, and Finance Experts.
The hiring process is completely different from what you find in platforms like UpWork or Freelancer. Here, you need to contact one of the Toptal experts and explain your needs. That person will then find a freelancer who can get your job done with precision. Usually, the matching period is 24 hours. You can start working with the freelancer on a trial basis and pay only if you are satisfied.
Toptal does not allow any Tom, Dick, and Harry to get into their platform as a freelancer. They have a very tight selection procedure to filter out the noise and select only the best professionals.
With Toptal, you can rest assured that your job will be completed with precision and within the set deadline.
They also have something called Toptal Enterprise where they cherry-pick the freelancers creating a pool of only and only the best in businesses. Toptal Enterprise is an elite network of freelancers that you can use for building your high-performance team, or just fill up the missing talent in your existing team.
#6. Fiverr
Fiverr is not like the usual freelancing platforms where you will publish your job requirements and wait for freelancers to bid on your project. Rather, it is the exact opposite.
Freelancers of Fiverr post their exact offering with a price quote. You browse through the listings and hire the one you like the most.
On Fiverr, freelancers will post gigs like “I will design your logo with 5 iterations,” “I will give a voiceover to your video,” etc.
You can find freelancers from different niches include things like designing, video and animation, digital marketing, programming and tech, lifestyle, data, music, writing and translation, dropshipping, etc.
If you decide to hire from Fiverr, make sure that you are asking the prospective freelancer to show work samples. Unlike Toptal, you will find freelancers of all skill levels. Some may be rookies with no bona fide experience, while others may be highly experienced.
You need to find the right person else; you will be disappointed. So, take your time!
The name Fiverr comes from the fact that gigs offered by freelancers start from $5. However, that does not mean that you cannot find freelancers charging thousands of dollars. It all depends on the complexity of the job they are offering.
Many business owners depend on Fiverr for their small tasks that they need within a brief time frame. Usually, Fiverr is perfect if you are looking for an inexpensive freelancer for a small project.
#7. Crowded (Now Acquired by Valilly)
Crowded has now been acquired by Valilly. So, the original Crowded platform no longer works. It gives you a direct link to Valilly Inc.
The platform is powered by AI that will sort and rank all applicants for the job based on factors like how much they charge, their skills, and their experience level.
The platform finds, flags, and removes those candidates that have possibly fraudulent or questionable backgrounds, leaving behind only the best of the candidates.
