Huh, congrats on the launch. But at the moment is really unclear to me: what is the difference between this and Upwork for instance?

@graver_ua Hi Pavlo! Thanks for your message. Actually we wrote a whole blog post about this - feel free to check it out and let us know your thoughts: https://youteam.co.uk/blog/upwor.... In short, we provide the same level of specialist transparency and flexibility Upwork does, but for a much-much more dedicated and professional work setup. All that with rates somewhat similar to those on Upwork ;) As you know, sometimes having a bunch of freelancers is not enough no matter how experienced they may be. Outsourcing is great when you need a more "professional" setup. Another organisation manages operational, financial and legal affairs of specialists, while client is enjoying a full-time dedicated access to them for a an agreed period of time. Finding such engineers and identifying reliable partners is a pain as is establishing a trusted relationship, and that's exactly where we can help.

I think it will be pretty hard to compete with others on the market. What is the selling point of your product?

@hr_ant99 the main difference lies in the source of talent, which in our case comes from within outsourcing companies. Generally this talent is not available anywhere else - most of the times you can't find it on any other platforms. This affects our positioning in the market. Having outsourcing companies as suppliers means that we cater to a market segment that demands a much more dedicated and long-term engagement than the supply that's formed from freelancers. At the same time such segment can now enjoy flexibility, transparency and safety not found in the direct engagement with a typical outsourcing company.

Hi everyone! Some time ago, in one of my previous startups I was tasked with scaling our development team by a couple of specialists. First, I childishly dreamt of an in-house hire as a perfect solution. As you can imagine, finding a permanent senior engineer for a small London-based startup on a budget is sort of mission impossible. So then I went on freelance platforms. After much trialling and testing I figured the whole "freelancer setup" won't work for a long term engagement I needed to form. So I turned to nearshore outsourcing. I was lucky enough to have some contacts in the market but even that didn't help much. Only after weeks and weeks of negotiation, waiting, delays, more negotiation and more waiting my team was finally formed and we could get down to work. Thankfully I had no further issues and they turned out to be great guys. We all have heard plenty of stories saying otherwise. Why does it have to be so hard with outsourcing? What if I just had access to hundreds of profiles of available specialists working in these agencies and ready to start work ASAP? What If I could simply book an interview, where I’d meet this specialist and the agency she works in - and make my decision in hours or days instead of months? What if I could then sign a direct contract but pay safely and securely with a money-back guarantee? I wish I had all of that, but I didn’t. That’s why me and my colleagues decided to build it :) Meet YouTeam - the simplest way to hire a software engineer. Welcome to the world of no-bullsh*t outsourcing. Please help us become better by sharing your feedback about the platform, the model or anything else. We are here to answer all of your questions!

Differences between YouTeam & UpWork.

YouTeam has been designed to provide you the opportunity to rent talented engineers who work full-time within remote companies.

UpWork on the other hand has been optimised as a freelancer portal. Whilst companies do appear on the site through an option called ‘Agency Freelancing’, the hiring processes don’t really suit hiring from agencies. But why is that?

The next three points will explain how YouTeam is different from Upwork and demonstrate features which optimise the process of renting talent from within remote companies.

Pre-vetting

YouTeam thoroughly pre-vets companies before admitting them to the platform,

Upwork doesn’t run through this process, instead the onus is you to do your own due-diligence

The Hiring / Renting Process is different between the two platforms, in a nutshell:

YouTeam uses the booking paradigm (similar to Booking.com or Airbnb)

Whereas, UpWork has a process similar to Social Networks where you can reach out to everyone

Which leads us to the fourth main difference which is engagement model:

Upwork uses the Standard freelancing model - which means freelancers hired through UpWork tend to be working across multiple projects.

YouTeam on the other hand usually assigns full-time dedicated resources. In this way engineers aren't constantly switching between different projects.

Pros:

Very straightforward hiring process, access to pre-vetted engineers and overall flexibility and speed of engagement

Cons:

None so far
