Lifted

Lifted (an Upwork Company) is the premier, enterprise-grade talent orchestration platform and compliance engine engineered to serve as the definitive, country-agnostic contingent workforce management infrastructure layer for global enterprises. Operating as a mission-critical external workforce transformation suite within a publicly traded ecosystem, the platform completely eliminates the severe systemic friction of modern distributed labor scaling—where enterprise hiring managers face highly fragmented supplier networks, complex international misclassification risks, siloed Vendor Management Systems (VMS), and slow cross-border payment cycles—by deploying a unified, full-stack tech and services solution. Moving far beyond traditional, siloed Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) or transactional gig marketplaces, Lifted unifies global freelance sourcing, Employer of Record (EOR) operations, Agent of Record (AOR) compliance vetting, Statement of Work (SOW) milestone workflows, and automated cross-currency payroll disbursement into a single high-performance workspace. The platform empowers massive global corporations like Automattic, Pipedrive, and Jumio to seamlessly source, contract, manage, and pay any classification of contingent talent across dozens of international jurisdictions with elite, audit-ready precision and total program visibility. Under the hood, its sophisticated cloud-native infrastructure natively orchestrates localized legal contract automation, bi-directional enterprise HR integrations, real-time workforce spend telemetry, and automated tax reporting compliance tracks. What sets Lifted apart is its uncompromising dedication to replacing administrative friction with global operational momentum; by bridging the gap between heavy enterprise-level vendor management rules and intuitive, fast-moving onboarding flows, the company enables scaling modern enterprises to radically maximize team agility, eliminate international hiring bottlenecks, and build an unassailable foundation for continuous workforce scalability worldwide.
