As it is era of computer,
everyone finding easy to use and effective ways in every fields of life, trend
of working online is more approachable and efficient. Many of websites proving
themselves as a source of finding work online but Elance and Odesk are
largest online planets, giving opportunity to market placers meet the rightly
required work force and vice versa. Both are performing their role in a right
way, although there is specific kind of difference between their strength n weaknesses
because of the difference of motive and management.
Basic operating systems:
When difference in both sites is
concerned, Odesk is very widely
spread and easily accessible but there is no process for keeping the money
safe. Sometimes when clients pay early contractor seems to disappear and
sometimes when quality work is done clients are lost without paying the worker.
Because they do not use Escrow systems like Elance. Odesk is very workers friendly because it is free of cost to bid (in
specific quantity) in any category whereas by using Elance for free one can get only access to basic users and can bid
to some of the categories. To place your bids for more jobs there is fee.
Job opportunities:
By using Odesk job opportunities rely on profile completion and feedback
given by previous company and a bit on self test taking about skills one
possess. On Elance, monthly bid is maximum 15 with the completion of basic
information about applicant.
Meeting needs:
One will easily know this by
using Odesk, clients (company) can
get thousands of contractors (freelancers) for very low cost from all around
the world. Odesk aims to provide jobs
on very small bids. But here the main issue arises, once a project is posted,
company will get number of applicants there so it is hard to refine the list
and pick up deserving and required. This site some times overview the quality
of work. So it is most possible that one might not get quality work here. But
work completion is assured.
On Elance due to shortage of bid company may get specific list of
workers which makes it possible to choose the right one.
Facilitation provided to users:
Another main difference between
both is their tracking system. Odesk
have a reliable tracking system with screen shots of work. Although Elance also facilitate you with tracking
time and work but it is with out screen shots and not much reliable as Odesk.
