Virtual companies allow hiring experts globally through platforms like oDesk. oDesk provides tools to find, manage, and review contractors anywhere in the world. Employers can filter jobs by rating, location, experience and other criteria. The platform syncs communications and provides invoicing to streamline hiring and payments. This flexible model removes constraints of physical offices while maintaining oversight of work through features like time tracking and screen recording.
