Latest news about Upwork
2016. JIRA gets Upwork integration
The project management service JIRA is introducing a new functionality that enables users to seamlessly convert JIRA tickets into job postings on the Upwork freelance marketplace. This integration allows JIRA users to simply click a button and access a pre-filled form to submit directly to Upwork's marketplace. This feature is particularly beneficial for small businesses that frequently face a backlog of feature requests and unresolved bug fixes. It is worth noting that this collaboration between Atlassian and Upwork is not the first time they have partnered in relation to JIRA. Upwork clients already have the ability to link their JIRA tickets to their Upwork account, enabling freelancers to track their time. Furthermore, clients can utilize Upwork's messaging feature to receive updates when a freelancer commits code to Bitbucket or updates a JIRA ticket, for instance.
2015. Elance-oDesk rebrands as Upwork
More than a year following the merger of Elance and oDesk, the combined freelancer powerhouse is undergoing a rebranding and will now be known as Upwork. The rebranding accompanies the launch of a new platform, which includes a mobile app, enhanced search algorithms, faster processing, and a real-time chat service. This chat service, described by Upwork's new CEO Stephane Kasriel as a "Slack killer," is completely free and open to anyone, not limited to those posting jobs or seeking work on the platform. Upwork plans to introduce additional features, such as integrations with GitHub, Google Drive, Jira, and video functionality, later this year, aiming to expand its collaboration capabilities. While the online job search market is highly competitive, with players like Indeed.com, Monster, CareerBuilder, LinkedIn, and others, Upwork is poised to assert its presence in the space, particularly for freelance opportunities.
