When you’re ready to start working with a freelancer, you’ll need to “hire” them. Hiring someone on UpWork is easy:

1. Find the freelancer you want to work with by viewing their profile and reading reviews from other clients.

2. When you’re ready to contact the freelancer, click the “Hire” button on their profile.

3. Select the type of contract you’d like to use.

If you’re not sure, we recommend starting with an hourly contract. You can always switch to a fixed-price contract later if you’d like.

4. Enter the details of your project, including a project name and description, and then click “Continue.”

5. On the next page, review your contract details and then click “Submit Proposal.”

The freelancer will have 7 days to accept or decline your proposal. If they don’t respond within that time, the proposal will automatically expire.
