"User has active job applications" error during Agency Freelancer Invite

Not fully understanding this error

 

"User has active job applications".

 

New agency that is a collaboration between two Upwork professionals.  I am building the agency within my own account and inviting my partner in as an agency member.  It appears that the process requires that my partner cancel all of her efforts to land projects for herself in order to join the agency.  Is this correct?  

 

We both want to act as non-exclusive members so it is a little suprising that this is required of invited Upwork members.

I have same problem when try leave a team, it says I have active applications, but I can't find them

Hi Vladimir,

 

I can see that you have several submitted proposals, which is why you are unable to leave the Agency. If you go to the Proposals page, you will be able to see them under "Submitted Proposals." You will need to withdraw your proposals before you can leave the Agency.

Hi Bojan!

I'm also facing the same issue. Can you help me sort this out?

 

Hi Zafar,

 

I can see that you are the owner of the agency and an exclusive member of your agency. If you would like to apply to jobs as an individual freelancer, please update your exclusivity, by logging into your Upwork Agency account and looking under Settings > Members and Permission.

Hello Joanne I'm facing the same problem, I can't be invited to an agency although I have no active contracts.

Error "User has active job applications"

Hi Khaled,

 

I can see that you do not have an ongoing contract but you do have an active job application. Looks like you have an invitation to interview, which you can see by going to Find Work > Proposals.

Hi, I have the same problem. Can you helpme please?

Hi Eugene,

 

If you're looking to invite a freelancer as an exclusive member of the Agency, they need to ensure all activity is clear before you're able to invite them. This includes pending, active, and open activity: closing all contracts, withdrawing all proposals, and ensuring all payments have been received and withdrawn. 

 

If you've confirmed this and are still seeing this error, even when trying to invite them as non-exclusive, please let us know.

Thank you for providing this information. I have been trying to add my business partner to my Upwork agency but because we both work for other agencies on Upwork, I was unable to add her as an "exclusive" member. After marking her as "non-exclusive" I was able to give her access. Thank you, again, for the information, Andrea!

Hello, I have the same problem. Someone wants to add me as a member but this problem happen.

 

Hi Muhammad,

 

I checked your account and you have 1 active proposal and 7 pending proposals. You would have to withdraw them first in order for the agency to add you as an exclusive agency member.

 

To withdraw your proposal, kindly go to the proposals page, click a job post, then click on "Withdraw Proposal."

 

Please let us know if further assistance is needed. Thanks!

Hello, I have the same problem. I want to add someone as team member and getting this error.

"User has active job applications".

Hi Ali,

 

It sounds like you are trying to invite the freelancer as an exclusive member. If that's the case, the freelancer will need to withdraw their active candidacies so that you can invite them to your agency.

I've same problem Bojan, She already end all her active contracts but still I've see this issue "User has active job applications".

Can you please help me?

Hi Hamza,

 

Thank you for reaching out. The active job applications should refer to her active proposals. She would have to withdraw them in order to join your agency. Or you can add her as a non-exclusive agency member in order for her to not have to do this anymore.

Hi Neville,

 

If you're inviting members to your Agency as Exclusive Agency Members they are not able to have contracts that are not under the Agency. If they won't be closing these contracts then you can still invite them as a Non-Exclusive Member.
