Can LinkedIn ProFinder Challenge UpWork?

[Lex DeVille]

Got an email this morning to notify me of LinkedIn's Profinder service. A freelance matching service that looks like it could be direct competition for UpWork. I just gave it a quick glance, but it looks like they match freelancers with local gigs.

Also looks like freelancers have to be on a LinkedIn premium business plan for $47/mo after the first 10 proposals. Still, that $47 gets you all of linkedin's business level benefits plus proposals and you don't have to pay 20% fees when the work's done. You could actually save a LOT of money over UpWork pretty easily while getting benefits and networking opportunities.

Here's their FAQ page:

LinkedIn ProFinder Frequently Asked Questions

Besides, UpWork premium costs $10 on top of your service fees. That doesn't even help you get found by clients (I asked them).

What do you guys think?
