What is a freelance marketplace?

How to Develop a Freelance Marketplace

The so-called “gig economy” is no longer just another buzzword. With 57.3 million freelancers in the US alone (which makes around 36% of the total country’s workforce), there is no denying the fact that it is now the reality we live in.
It is commonly known that some of the world’s largest and most successful companies, including Airbnb, Amazon, Walmart, Google, and Apple, work with freelancers. Following their example, more businesses worldwide refuse to limit themselves to the local pool of candidates and go looking for the required talent overseas.
It is especially true within the conditions of the COVID-19 outbreak that caused job cuts all around the world and forced workforce to look for new job opportunities online. That is why freelance websites like Upwork, offering a convenient, reliable, and easy way to access the global freelance talent, have become so popular.
Yet, despite a large number of the existing freelance online platforms, none of them are perfect. That represents an opportunity for a business to join in and develop a freelance marketplace that can close the existing gaps.
If you are considering developing a freelancing website, keep reading. In this article we explore the main features of freelance sites like Upwork and share our experience on how to build one from scratch.
