Upplft vs WorkMarket

Upplft is a web-based platform for coordinating contingent workers from hiring and onboarding through pay and compliance. It standardises requests, approvals, onboarding, and pay across teams and regions, while keeping worker profiles, engagements, suppliers, approvals, compliance status, and costs in a shared record. Hiring tools include candidate pipelines, talent pools, interview panels, assessments, and scheduling; lifecycle capabilities also include timesheets, invoicing, payments, payroll, and compliance checks. Approval workflows, rate controls, and policy requirements are built into the process. Reporting provides visibility into spend, supplier performance, compliance exposure, and workforce mix. The platform supports right-to-work checks, background screening, health and safety, and policy approvals. Named integrations include Oncore, Xemplo, Idibu, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and Zoom; Upplft also connects with existing ATS, VMS, and payroll systems and works with industry MSPs. It is designed for phased implementation alongside existing systems, not as a replacement. Upplft lists ISO 27001 information security management and GDPR compliance. Pricing is available on request.
