We understand your challenges

Acquiring clients is hard

It's increasingly difficult to close and retain new customers in a crowded industry.

Teams must stay busy

Every hour your people are not engaged on a project is a lost opportunity.

Clients take long to pay

Late payments reduce the ability to scale and, in some cases, can kill a business.

Acquire projects for free

As a curated Tech Talent Platform we provide you with top remote projects for your tech talent. You have full control over your people and decide who to assign (if anyone).

Zero bench, zero costs

Eliminate bench time when you don't have a project by easily assigning people on UPPER projects.

Scale without risk

We pay you monthly without delay, so you don't have to wait for clients and run into cashflow problems.

Your people, your rules

Your talent doesn't have access to sensitive info such as rates. And we guarantee that neither us nor our clients can hire them directly (or you get €100K).

"UPPER supports us with quick action and great collaboration. They helped us find top engineers almost on the spot – an ability that is invaluable for us as a company in hyper-growth. UPPER is definitely a partner we are counting on."

Frequently Asked Questions

What is UPPER?

UPPER is a platform that connects top tech freelancers from Europe with companies in need of talent. Our goal is to match the right tech people with the right roles and projects, and we support dozens of companies across various industries to scale their teams and build their products.

What information is visible to my team?

Only project information and what you decide to share with them. Your candidates have no direct access to rates, contractual terms or other similar sensitive information.

Which kind of talent are you looking for?

We (ie. our clients) look for mid-senior developers (including QA, DevOps etc), designers and product managers, either as individuals to extend teams or complete teams to build products.

What kind of jobs are available on the platform?

The jobs on our platform are typically mid to long-term projects from top startups and enterprise clients from all over Europe.

How can I be sure that my teams will not switch to the client?

Our agreements prevent our clients (and us) from hiring your talent directly and this is guaranteed by a hefty penalty.

Which are the most in-demand skills on the platform?

We cover a wide range of tech stacks and skills, from web to mobile to embedded. Skill/stack popularity is in close step with industry demand.
