As a co-founder of FreeeUp, Nathan Hirsch started FreeeUp out of frustration hiring freelancers from other marketplaces. He and his partner spent years hiring hundreds of freelancers while running their first eCommerce business, and found themselves spending hours every day recruiting and interviewing instead of focusing on growth. They faced turnover, disappearing freelancers, and poor communication. They decided that they wanted to create a BETTER solution to hiring freelancers online. In 2015, the duo founded the FreeeUp Marketplace with the goal of pre-vetting all freelancers and providing a hands-on experience for business owners, which has grown to a multi-million dollar business in just a few short years. You can register for Nathan’s free live training coming up on Thursday, February 21st, 2019 at http://www.naturalborncoaches.com/freeeup!
