Will Upwork shift towards being more of a staffing agency vs. a tech company, due to their focus on enterprise sales?

The starting points are so different. Upwork is completely reimagining the value delivery using technology, versus a traditional agency starting from a recruiter doing all the work as a way of operating. I don't see it as converging, like meeting each other, I just see a movement towards more hand-holding on the Upwork side, using their technology foundation. There's a long way to go before these two sides are going to have a similar cost structure, if ever.
