Upwork is a dumpster-fire. I have used it (to hire specifically-skilled software professionals) several times in the past six years and these are the problems: 1) too many people bid on your project even if they clearly do not have the desired experience. 2) "firms" that bid on your projects, again, without the experience. 3) vendors "having trouble with upwork...can we just switch to paypal?" 4) Upwork suddenly stopping vendors "for violating our terms of service" (almost certainly due to #3).

I hope to never use Upwork again to hire. The last three times i clearly put in the job posting: "Once you begin work: all work and payment will and must contine with the original upwork account! We will not switch accounts, we will not switch to paypal."

There MUST be better services!
