What's Been Happening at Etcetera

We celebrated 7 birthdays!

And we're super excited to welcome back some familiar faces. Two awesome specialists rejoined our team, and we truly appreciate it when you choose us and come back for more.

Our Sales Funnel results aren't as strong as last season, but we're already steering towards improving all our metrics. As always, all the numbers are in the pic.

Right now, we’re on the lookout for new team members. Next week, we’ll be posting about the latest vacancies. But if you can’t wait, check out our website here.​

Spring plans are pretty straightforward for us.

Upwork halted the REST API, which impacted our entire automation, and unfortunately, the new GraphQL API doesn't provide the necessary features yet because it's still incomplete . So, we're adapting and exploring new avenues for efficient operations, while also awaiting the updates we need.

We're still on the hunt for our perfect Head of Sales Department and gearing up to improve our conversion rates in the next season
