I used to use Upwork to hire freelancers but it became ever more difficult to find good candidates for my VA roles. The trouble is Fiverr and Upwork have no screening methods leaving me to feel like a recruiter rather than a business owner. For the same price Octotasker screened the candidates for me and provided exactly what I wanted.
I hired x3 and they are still with me now. One has gone full time and the other two are still freelancing.
