Why People Choose Worca over Upwork.

Customer Support

Worca offers the best in class customer support. Our 24/7 in-app live support makes sure we address your issues quickly.

Easy to Use

Worca's self-service portal makes it easy for contractors and employers to track, manage, and generate invoices and reports. Our distributed HR platform guides users through tasks and documentation from start to finish.

Global Expertise

Worca has local legal, HR, and tax experts in every country. You'll receive market insights on salary, benefits, and regulations to help you make the best decisions for your company. Upwork does not provide any country-specific expertise.

Local Benefits

Worca lets companies provide employees and contractors benefits. Through local partnerships, Worca can offer highly competitive advantages such as health, vision, and dental insurance plans. Upwork does not provide any of these benefits to your hires.

Hiring Flexibility

Worca's pre-screens every candidate to ensure you only receive the most qualified and talented applicants. When recruiting using Upwork, you'll need to spend time vetting through many unqualified freelancers.

Pre-Screened Candidates

Top Talent

Worca has a proprietary database of prescreened top global talent. Our talents are all college graduates, and all have high English proficiency. Upwork allows anyone to become a freelancer and charges freelancers a high fee, which drives away some of the best talents.

Recruiting Expert

Worca assigns a senior recruiter that will understand your hiring needs and help you recruit the perfect candidate. With Upwork, you'll need to identify and hire workers independently.
