Time Doctor is an easy way for you to manage all of the freelancers you hire on Upwork. You can get real time insight into what tasks they’re working on AND see how long it takes to complete each task.
It depends on what you are looking for. Upwork is the next evolution of what used to be known as E-lance. I was on that platform from 2006 until 2011. The rating system that carried over is actually worse than what was there before.
If you're looking for anything performance based, then you're going to want a site that actually proactively manages its freelancers versus just leaving it to whatever their client interaction is. Sites that focus on their freelancers as a team actively pick and pull their best from the crop and keep promoting them. This is usually evident where the site actively rates the performance themselves versus those that leave it to clients. The high producers get the best jobs and the low producers eventually get nudged out. For writing, WritersAccess is a good example of this (I am partial to them as I write for them - disclosure). I've worked for others and some have been a joke, delivering poor material for clients causing a lot of trial and error (Textbroker, Zerys, etc.). Fortunately, some of them have also collapsed and disappeared due to poor business practices, saving the rest of us from dealing with them (ContentDomain).
Interesting. Will keep an eye open for something like that.
I have software developers in mind as of now, but for the software to be reusable it needs a layer or two of text that makes the architecture accessible at a glance, allowing someone to narrow down to *where* things happen (not to mention how and why).

What I'm getting on freelance.com is often people who can't even write a phrase. I guess the ecosystem might be more fragmented, with different cultures on different sites, than I thought. TY
Yep, that's going to happen just throwing jobs to the tech sites. Lots of folks will say they can write, but only a few can really do it well. People look down on the skill like basket-weaving, but when you're in production and marketing it's essential for a finished platform. Definitely look to the site I mentioned and similar. You need a site that screens it's talent to confirm they actually deliver marketing content or technical writing versus garbage. -Tom

provided that upwork ratings are flawed, any site or system where ratings actually work?
