Call notes
The strengths:
- Quick contracting for various business needs jobs on demand that would be considered "short-term"
- Marketing support, graphic design, video production, coding, website design, writing, etc.
- As we grow the business, there will no doubt be things like this that come up, where under-resourced teams can get one-off project boosts
- Wide variety of services with visibility on individual contractor rates, reviews, and portfolios
- Upwork holds burden of employer responsibilities, not us
- Versatile and flexible for addressing any business needs or gaps that would be unreasonable to hire a dedicated employee for
- Offers access to low-cost, flexible, and fast services
- Could be a shared resource for all leaders in the company and get some long-standing/on-hold items dealt with quickly
The downsides:
- Requires knowledge of exact business needs before it would be worth establishing an agreement with Upwork
- You could treat it as a retainer service, but that may be a poor balance of cost and reward
- We'd need to have one or two projects in mind before approaching them for an agreement
- Technically just a freelancing hub service, so quality risks are always possible
