Upwork premiers new program Upwork Partners

Upwork announced Upwork Partners, a new program for companies to establish partnerships with Upwork that highlight skilled independent professionals on Upwork to serve their customers’ most pressing business needs, as well as connect freelancers with industry-leading tools that supercharge productivity and improve work quality. Initially, Upwork Partners encompasses three main partnership models: Upwork Partner Experts; Apps and Offers; Partner Offers. “Upwork can provide tremendous value to our partners’ customers via the skilled global freelancers on our marketplace, alongside the value we can provide to our own customers by offering direct, differentiated access to partners’ products on our platform,” said Adel Farahmand, VP of partnerships and business development, Upwork. “We’re excited about formalizing and accelerating that value delivery through Upwork Partners, and look forward to working with more current and prospective partners as well as new partnership models we will introduce in the near future.”
