Isla vs Upwork and Freelancer Marketplaces | Compared
Managed offshore staffing compared with hiring through Upwork or other freelancer marketplaces: vetting, dedication, payroll, replacement and real cost.
What is the difference between Isla and a freelancer marketplace?
A freelancer marketplace connects you with independent workers and leaves the rest to you: vetting, managing, paying and replacing them. Isla recruits, employs and manages a professional who works only for you, with payroll, HR, IT, an account manager and replacement at no additional recruitment cost included in one hourly rate.
Is Isla more expensive than a freelancer?
The hourly figure can be similar. The difference is what is included: recruitment, payroll, HR, IT support, an account manager and replacement cover, which you would otherwise handle yourself.
Can I choose the person?
Yes. You interview the shortlist and choose who joins your team.
