Nice chart and narrative on the big employment intermediaries by Christopher Null @Christophernull, PCWorld, July 23, 2013. Reviews Elance, Freelancer.com, oDesk, Staff.com, TaskRabbit for Business, Toptal, Ziptask. If you need a job done quickly, and cost is your greatest concern, one of the big e-ployment services like Elance, Freelancer, and oDesk are all good bets. If you're looking for a longer-term relationship with a worker, but aren't ready to hire someone full time, one of the smaller firms, like Staff.com or Toptal, may be more compelling. Finally, TaskRabbit's heavy background checking make it an ideal pick when you need someone on-site at your place of business, and you want to be sure they're going to show up come Monday.
