First and foremost, while Upwork does offer some protection in terms of payment and disputes, it is ultimately up to you to vet the freelancer and make sure they are a good fit for your project.
Additionally, be aware that once you invite a freelancer to work on your project, they will have access to all the project files and information. Make sure you trust them before sending them any sensitive information.
When you invite a freelancer to work on your project, you’re extending an offer of employment. The freelancer can either accept or decline your offer. If the freelancer accepts your offer, they’re hired!
It’s super easy to invite a freelancer to work on your project. Just follow these simple steps:
1. Log in to your UpWork account and go to the My Jobs tab. 2. Click the name of the project you’d like to invite a freelancer to work on. 3. Click the Invite button on the right side of the page, just above the job description.
4. In the “Invite Freelancers” modal window that appears, start typing the name or email address of the freelancer you’d like to invite in the “To:” field. As you type, a list of matching results will appear below the field. Select the correct result from the list and click Continue. 5. In the next modal window, select an invitation message template or write a custom message in the text box provided, then click Send Invites.
Now that you know how to invite a freelancer to work on your project, go ahead and take that first step towards hiring great talent!
