“I would say that with Get Friday, it’s more of the continuity and actually having a team because the problem is, with an Upwork especially since their IPO and the changeovers, it’s more of like a staffing solution with contractors.

With Get Friday, I think it’s like I’m looking more for a staff member, but I’m not looking to hire in India. So, I almost look at it as if I’m going to work with somebody in India you know. GetFriday takes away a lot of the risk of hiring, but I’m looking to work with somebody more full time and on more of a continual basis, who at least has a team behind them. Whereas I really view, you know, Upwork is I’m just hiring a freelancer. And it’s just an independent contractor.”

 

GetFriday (earlier YMII or YourManInIndia) is a service that was featured and used in the NYTimes best-selling productivity and lifestyle design book ‘The 4-Hour-Workweek’ by Timothy Ferris.
