Freelancer.sg Launches in Singapore; Local Businesses to Achieve Big Results for Less
Singapore's 160,000 SMEs set to benefit from being able to tap into an online workforce.
SINGAPORE, Feb. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Freelancer.com, the world's largest outsourcing and crowdsourcing marketplace today launched its newest country site, Freelancer Singapore, www.freelancer.sg).
Chief Executive Matt Barrie, visiting Singapore for the launch, said "We launched Freelancer.sg so local entrepreneurs and SMEs could replicate Singapore's success on a global scale; achieve amazing results irrespective of size. This country has a knack for overachievement."
Barrie believes Singapore's strength in information and communication technology (ICT) will see local businesses succeed despite economic crises in the region and growth forecasts of 1% to 3% for the island state.
"Local businesses here can achieve results far greater than the sum of their parts. Log on to Freelancer.sg and you can hire over 3 million skilled professionals ready to help you with any aspect of your business, at a fraction of the cost," he said.
While early days, almost 15,000 SMEs and individuals have spent over US$1 million through the site, a figure Barrie predicts will rapidly increase now a dedicated site has been launched supporting the local currency.
