How Do I Hire a Freelancer

[johnmill]

It's been a while since I have used UpWork so I am not sure how much has changed. But I am trying to hire a freelancer but not seeing any way to contact the person in their profile. Help!

Thanks!

Thank you for the reply. Actually there was a little more to it than that. For some reason, my "worker" profile side was unable to hire anyone. Until I set my profile as a client, I was then able to see the buttons you mention.
