About Lifted
What is Lifted?
Lifted (officially Lifted, an Upwork Company™) is the first talent, country, and contract-agnostic contingent workforce management solution — giving enterprises a unified way to source, contract, manage, and pay any type of contingent talent, anywhere in the world. The pitch is direct: "One solution. Globally. Compliantly. Seamlessly."
Today, "contingent work runs through fragmented systems and providers, creating inefficiency, compliance risks, and limited visibility. We're here to change that. By combining technology and global services into one seamless solution, we help enterprises hire faster, operate with confidence, and gain live visibility across all external talent." The platform supports five engagement models: Independent Contractor, Staff Augmentation, Employer of Record, Agent of Record, and Outsourcing.
The customer roster underscores the enterprise-grade fit: Hitachi Energy (synchronized global rebrand), Jumio (4-day average time-to-hire across 10 countries), Pipedrive (3× productivity increase), Automattic (9 languages supported for WordPress, Woo, Jetpack), and Mobileum (25 operations systems consolidated). Lifted is used by 25,000 hiring managers globally and holds SOC 2 Type 1, ISO 27001:2022, GDPR, and CCPA certifications.
