About Odesk

Odesk (www.odesk.com) is a leading global outsourcing/freelancing platform established in 2003. Odesk helps business owners save money by outsourcing work, typically to workers of lower cost regions who may be equally skilled as local contractors yet charge less then hiring locally. Odesk's platform allows for the employer to easily hire, interview, manage and pay contractors. Employers can pay by the hour or on a per task/project basis, as negotiated with the contractors, of which Odesk keeps 10%. The main challenge employers face using Odesk and other outsourcing platforms is finding dependable, well skilled, and fluent English communicators as many freelance contractors may not be as skilled as they advertise or may struggle with English, which can make it difficult to communicate your needs. However once a productive outsourcing relationship is established the rewards and money saved can be substantial.
