Expanding opportunities with Talent Scout™!
We are in awe of how the Upwork community leverages the work marketplace to advance their careers. And we want to help you go even further! That's why we've expanded your opportunities with Talent Scout, a service we launched to a small subset of clients last year, that matches pre-vetted remote talent to some of the leading clients on our platform.
For Independent Talent:
If you are a freelancer who specializes in web, mobile or software development, marketing, or design and creative, Talent Scout is an opportunity to work with dedicated Upwork recruiters who will bring opportunities to you.
You must provide a submission to Talent Scout to be considered for inclusion in the service. It is a multi-step process that is designed to ensure that you are matched with clients looking for your unique blend of hard and soft skills.
Freelancers accepted to Talent Scout will be paired with specialized recruiters who understand your industry and will match you with top clients ranging from well-funded startups to Fortune 500 companies in exciting opportunities for deep, meaningful work.
No Connects are needed to provide a submission for Talent Scout or to be considered for these opportunities.
How is this different from other programs? You may have previously worked with a Talent Specialist or an Enterprise Talent Manager in our Expert-Vetted program. Those opportunities are invite-only. Talent Scout is open for all freelancers specializing in technology, marketing, or design and creative to submit a proposal. It’s a way to find more opportunities on Upwork and ultimately gain more control and freedom over your independent career.

For Clients:
As a client, you can easily start the Talent Scout process by providing some information about what you need. From there a specialized recruiter will identify talent that has the right hard and soft skills and provide you with a shortlist of independent professionals who meet your needs. Interview the talent that excite you, make your selection, and your team can get right to work. You’ll save time and money while we find the right fit.

Can you tell we’re excited to bring Talent Scout to you? We are, because we believe this is a huge opportunity for our community. We're eager to hear your feedback, and our door is always open if you have thoughts or questions.
