How Odetta is Different From Other Freelancing Platforms

Odetta Inc Logo

Odetta is powered primarily by women in the Middle East and South Asia. In 2018, Katharine Wolf, our CEO and Founder, started Odetta Inc. with the mission of redesigning the virtual workplace. Odetta is a growing global platform that provides data & sales services for top US-based companies.  Odetta is able to attract such high-quality talent to its platform by offering a unique, remote work environment centered around flexibility, community, and career growth.

 
I started Odetta with two simple goals in mind: to build a better work platform for ambitious women in the MESA region and to build an iconic technology company that solves for the technical talent shortage for global firms.
— Katharine Wolf, Founder & CEO

For me, Odetta brings the charm of team working. It’s not easy to work alone. With Odetta, one doesn’t have to go through the bidding process. One gets selected as per their skills and the previous work. Odetta is truly a peace of mind for me!
— Shumaila Ali, Quality Control-in-Training, Pakistan
I really appreciate Odetta, I have more freedom and work-life balance
— Ayshe Abdulhafeth, Data Statistician, Palestine
I observed how the monotonous work and rigid roles in company dulled my enthusiasm and creativity. Odetta has given me the flexibility of timings, varying nature of work, uplifting environment and a multicultural community. It has dissolved the term ‘corporate slave’ for me, and that’s saying a lot!
— Minha Noor, Lead Gen, Pakistan
 

Career

Odetta allows for internal growth by giving new freelancers a chance to prove themselves and become team leads and quality controllers.

 
When I first joined Odetta, I could never imagine that few months down the line I’d be a team lead in training. I’ve previously worked with another freelance startup but Odetta gives better compensation, learning opportunities and environment.
— Aimen Tahir, Team Lead, Pakistan
 

It also saves freelancers from long, unsuccessful bidding processes with clients and promt payments.While most freelancing platforms allow freelancers to bid directly for projects and clients, Odetta obtains projects from clients which are then distributed to freelancers based on their proven skill set and experience.

 
I had my experience with the most well-known freelancer platform where they were not accepting new profiles. It was very hard to get any work being unproven as everyone out there was looking for experienced professionals
— Ekta Saraogi, Data Analyst, India
There is no consistent work on large freelancing platforms. You need to keep applying for every job and the client picks the candidates as per their preference. At Odetta, we don’t have to explain our skills and qualifications for every job.
— Tahshina Mohsin, Data Analyst, Pakistan

I am very happy with Odetta’s data team and found them to be very client-focused. The work they did has helped us really move forward on understanding the underlying data we’ve been working with and beginning the process of improving our services
— Douglas Coulter, Data Lead, Fluxx
 

Odetta’s unique model for freelancing is the future of online work. With a single ‘one stop solution’ for all the client’s needs, it will be interesting to see where conventional freelancing platforms end up with the current demand for fast high-quality work.
