Do clients see your username on UpWork?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 9:10 pm

The short answer is that clients can see your username, but it’s not always visible. The long answer is that username visibility is controlled by your profile settings.

Your username is visible to clients when you’re actively looking for work. When you’re not actively looking for work, your username is hidden and only shown to people who you’ve explicitly invited to see it.

PRO TIP: Client’s should never see your username on Upwork. It is possible for them to find out your real name and contact information if they are diligent, which could lead to unwanted contact outside of Upwork.

Clients can also see your username if you’ve shared it with them. If you’ve shared your username with someone, they can see it even if you’re not actively looking for work.

The bottom line is that your username is visible to some clients and not visible to others, depending on your profile settings.
