Upwork Enterprise is now Lifted, an Upwork Company™!
Aug 19, 2025
Contingent talent is the backbone of enterprise success – fueling growth, innovation, and competitive advantage.
Yet, the way this talent is utilized is often fragmented and outdated, built on models that predate AI and modern technology. Enterprises need transparency, flexibility, and a seamless experience to unlock the full potential of their contingent workforce.
We’re excited to introduce Lifted, an Upwork Company™ – one solution built for enterprises to source, contract, and pay contingent talent. Lifted combines a best-in-class technology platform, access to one of the world’s largest talent pools, and global compliance solutions – supported by a dedicated program team.
What’s staying the same
In the short term, nothing will change for your program. You’ll continue to access your current account through upwork.com to source and hire talent, and your Program Team will support you as they do today – aside from the small change of our new email addresses. There will be no changes to your contract or pricing.
In the months ahead, we’ll share details on new capabilities and how we will support you in your transition to Lifted at no additional cost. Highlights include:
An enhanced Classification offering
Direct Employer of Record (EOR) capabilities – without relying on third parties
Full Staff Augmentation services, offering a modern, platform-based staffing model
We’re excited to take this next step with you and can’t wait to share more soon.
