John Jonas explains why Onlinejobs.ph charges $69 to upgrade: it stops people from falsely marking workers as hired and leaving fake reviews without actually paying or hiring anyone. The platform requires at least one upgrade before an account can mark someone as hired.
Now, $69 might seem like a lot to have someone employed through us, considering that upwork is free, but upwork is not really free. So that $69 is one time you need to pay to upgrade your account one time so that you can mark people as hired. In our system, we don't allow people who have never upgraded to mark someone as hired, because how would you have hired someone if you haven't upgraded before? And we were finding abuse of the system of people marking workers as hired and then leaving a review for that worker because they marked him as hired and then un. Hiring them even though they had never. Yeah, it was a big. It was a big scammy mess. And we cleaned it all up and we found a solution to it. So you have to have upgraded your account at least one time in order to mark someone as hired to bring them to our platform from upwork.
