SEO Tutorial - oDesk is now Upwork
Odesk has been changed to Upwork by name. This announcement came on May 5 in 2015. Upwork has brought more innovation than older Odesk. As CEO of Upwork, Stephane Kasriel announced that-

Dear oDeskers,

Together we’ve redefined how people work. What you do every day on oDesk used to be called “the future of work,” but it’s rapidly becoming the norm. We know 90% of US businesses hire independent professionals and they are ready to find more talent online.

I’m thrilled to announce that we have relaunched oDesk as Upwork. Upwork is a new name, and also a new platform for connecting businesses with talented professionals, faster and more easily than ever before. And, in the coming months, we will focus on four areas of innovation:
  • Faster hiring. To accelerate hiring, we’re making it easier for freelancers to update their availability and for businesses to find, interview and select freelancers who are ready to work right away.
  • Better collaboration. We’re making work simpler and more productive. A new messaging experience will include chat and video, plug into your favorite services, and organize conversations into chat rooms. Plus, you’ll be able to communicate with your teams through native Android and iPhone apps.
  • Larger teams. Shared team workspaces will make it easier for multiple freelancers and clients to collaborate. Businesses can create and engage large freelance teams quickly, safely, and in compliance with Upwork Enterprise.
  • Professional growth. Upwork will be a platform where independent professionals can thrive. With access to work history stats, the ability to earn Top Rated status and information on high-demand skills, freelancers will have the tools to get more and better jobs.
oDesk is now Upwork. You can begin experiencing the new platform today by going to upwork.com. You’ll see familiar oDesk functionality and your existing profile, with a new mobile-friendly and simplified design. A new Upwork Messenger app is now also available for download on Android and iPhone. And, don’t miss the Hiring Headquarters, our new destination for ideas and inspiration to help you get more work done faster.

You may also be wondering about the new name. With an exciting and limitless future in mind, we chose Upwork to better convey our vision and represent our current and future community. It’s a name that inspires us and we hope it will inspire you as well.

We’ll continue to share our progress towards this vision, and look forward to creating more success for your business than ever before. I’m excited to step into the CEO position at Upwork, and I invite you to join in the conversation to find answers to your questions. If you have feedback for us or have questions about our new platform check out these FAQs or we’d love to hear from you at upwork-info@odesk.com.


Best,

Stephane Kasriel
CEO, Upwork
