Elance University

Elance delivers an immediate, cost-effective and flexible way to hire, manage and pay independent professionals and contractors online.

Businesses who tap into Elance's skilled talent pool to distribute their work, love Elance for:

• Flexibility. Staff up when you need it, scale back when you don’t.
• Results Orientation. Emphasis is on actual results received (output) versus billable hours (input).
• Control. Release payment through Escrow only when requirements results are delivered and work is approved.

The Elance Work System (Elance's features, tools and processes that facilitates online work ) puts you in control, keeps you safe, and makes sure that you get great results.

The Elance Work System facilitates structured communication, brings clarity on what needs to be done and when, provides tracking, updates and regular reviews of the work in progress, solicits feedback throughout the process and releases payments only when work is delivered and approved.
