Can a freelancer also be a client

[tsmithninsights]

I am set up as a freelancer on Upwork but I may also want to post a job to hire a freelancer for a project for my own business. Can I do that without setting up another account? I would like freelancers to be able to see my freelancer stats when they apply for my project since it shows I have a good business reputation in the Upwork community. If I have to get another account to be a client, I would have no reputation as a new client.

Hi Tracey,

You can be both a freelancer and a client using the same account. Here is how. However, there is no such thing as "client's profile" and all information is visible in the job post itself. I don't think that people can see your freelancer profile when they apply for your jobs.

Hope that helps!

Was there a link you meant to insert after "here is how?"

I guess something went wrong and the hyperlink doesn't work. See the help article here: https://support.upwork.com/hc/en-us/articles/211067558-Can-I-be-both-a-freelancer-doing-work-and-a-c...

Yes, I have seen a freelancer's account who also has a client and an agency associated within the same account (3 in 1).
