Freelancer.com vs. SAP Fieldglass

Freelancer is the best when it comes to running a small agency and getting as many jobs as you can, and gathering international experience and reviews. It is also quite good for earning small, extra money on the side when you have additional free time for doing smaller time-scoped projects.

The good thing is that SAP Fieldglass has an automated function, so we can easily manage the hiring process, check that all workers comply with labor laws, and manage the onboarding process. SAP Fieldglass is a very expansive VMS for small organizations, and the user interface is very difficult to understand for new users.

• Freelancer.com gives you a way to hire freelancers within minutes.
• It offers you secure payments using their milestone payments, which make you safe as a freelancer or employer.
• Their support service is great, easy to use and simple to use! Your problems can get solved in seconds.

Incentivized

• Contingent labor process, starting from the job posting to final candidate onboarding
• Supplier and Customer collaboration options in the system
• Configuration options for customers
• Management of service delivery and service contract setups
• Option to establish a true end-to-end process (from source2contract to final payment)

• Complex interface: tracking your freelancer's work status is harder than it should be. Tracking sometimes does not work as it should.
• Mobile app is laggy and sometimes glitchy so personally I prefer to use the web-based platform (inconvenient for someone who is traveling on business trips a lot).
• It is hard to find quality talent for simple tasks (translation). It is easy to find talent for technical tasks though (iOS app developers for example).

• Server issues, any time there is a server overload, our instance of Fieldglass completely shuts down, sometimes for hours, sometimes for days.
• The mobile app isn't very functional for hiring managers.
• There is a lot of difficulty integrating Fieldglass with other non SAP products.

Again, Fieldglass is a strong contender but Fieldglass can be difficult at times to work with and not as supportive as I'd like. As so, I'd be willing to try Beeline or other top competitors

Of the freelance hubs I am listed on, more than a few, I haven't been as successful on Freelancer.com. Freelancer.com, I think, could use some more development and better customer service. It does separate itself with its competency tests, but I'm not sure this is enough. Still, I check out the project lists from time to time and keep my profile up to date, just in case

Also evaluated Vndly- which was subsequently purchased by Workday. SAP Fieldglass is more effective and easier to use in my estimation. Most notably if you are an SAP shop and have Ariba and SAP ECC/S4. That full business and data integration is excellent.

Incentivized

• Saving money by working with cheaper freelancers than others.
• Not having full-time employees because sometimes I have less work to provide.
• Find skilled freelancers easily without wasting time.

• I would have to say Fieldglass has made a positive impact, only in that having access to it has opened up some client relationships we didn't have before. I am a vendor to clients using Fieldglass, so I can't really report on the financial successes they may have had by implementing it.
• The negative side to Fieldglass, or any VMS, really, from an agency perspective is that it cuts out manager contact. That has a negative impact, both to the agency and the hiring manager. No longer can the managers really explain what they need, and no longer can an agency understand the req deeply. We have to work off of a scrubbed job description which is generally pretty vanilla.
