The pandemic has caused an increase in demand for freelance workers. For freelance workers the work has become increasingly more sophisticated as well. To meet this growing need, Citrix partnered with Upwork to allow clients to find, hire and deploy freelancers while also providing them access to enterprise technology. The partnership which started in 2019 with a product focused on onboarding and managing freelancers has expanded to allow employers to post freelance roles and review applicant submissions and profiles through the Citrix platform.
