????最近,，美國(guó)的大型公司計(jì)劃招聘200位自由撰稿人時(shí)往往會(huì)求助于提供在線招聘服務(wù)的oDesk公司。oDesk公司將招聘廣告刊登在網(wǎng)站上,。一經(jīng)聘用,，撰稿人可登陸oDesk平臺(tái)開始工作。oDesk公司記錄他們的工作時(shí)長(zhǎng),，對(duì)他們的初稿進(jìn)行截屏,，從而使招聘經(jīng)理確信，他們獲得了物有所值的稿件,。最后,，oDesk公司還代理所有的付款和報(bào)稅，可獲得每筆薪水10%作為傭金,。從全球來看,，oDesk公司的發(fā)展迅速。該公司表示,，它現(xiàn)有150萬獨(dú)立簽約員工和25萬家用人公司,，其中大部分都是小公司。職位涉及軟件開發(fā),、翻譯,、電話營(yíng)銷、統(tǒng)計(jì)分析等各行各業(yè),。該公司目前面臨的挑戰(zhàn)是：尋找足夠數(shù)量的熟練員工,，并使他們樂于通過在線工作，獲得合理薪水的,。但是,，CEO蓋理?斯瓦特（上）對(duì)此并不擔(dān)憂，他說：“我覺得我們目前已經(jīng)達(dá)到了上市公司的規(guī)模,?！?/p>

Headquarters: Menlo Park, Calif.

????Recently, when a big U.S. corporation set out to hire 200 freelance copywriters, it turned to oDesk, which facilitates online staffing. oDesk posted the job ads on its site. Once hired, the writers log into an oDesk platform to do their work. oDesk tracks their hours and records screen shots of their drafts so that managers can be sure they are getting the work that they pay for. Finally, oDesk handles all payments and tax reporting in exchange for a 10% commission on every paycheck. Globally, the fast-growing company says it has 1.5 million independent contractors in its network and some 250,000 employers, mostly small companies. Job descriptions range from software development to translation, telemarketing, and statistical analysis. The challenge ahead is finding enough skilled workers willing to work online for modest wages. That doesn't worry CEO Gary Swart (above): "We think this is big enough to be a publicly traded company."
