Can I invite a specific freelancer to my job?
Yes! Once you post a job, if you already have particular freelancers in mind, you can invite them to submit a proposal. You can also search for and invite freelancers.
How do I invite a freelancer or agency to submit a proposal for my job?
Once you find a freelancer you'd like to invite:
- Select Invite from within their profile or, if available, choose Invite to Job* right from the search results list
- Write a brief message and select a relevant job post
- Choose Send Invitation
*If it's your first job post, you won't see this option, but you can still invite up to 30 freelancers total.
If you reach your limit of invitations, you can send more by upgrading to a Featured Job.
How do I check my invitations?
- Go to Hire talent > Your open job posts
- Find the contract and select View Proposals > Invited Freelancers. You'll be able to see if they've replied to your invite there.
How many invites can I send to freelancers?
- You get 30 free invites with a standard job post
- A Featured Job allows you to send more invites (70 a day) per Featured Job post
How long does it take for the invite to be delivered?
Typically, invites are delivered instantly. There are instances when messages can be delayed up to an hour due to system updates.
Why do you limit the number of people I can invite to a job?
We limit the number of invitations you can send to help you connect with the right freelancers — not just more of them. This improves response rates because it helps ensure freelancers are receiving relevant opportunities. If you need help finding the right fit within your invite limit, try refining your search filters or job post details — or let freelancers come to you by submitting a proposal directly to your job post.
