How can I message candidates who have applied for my job post

Hi Nicole,

Thank you for your message. Once you have found a potential freelancer for your project on Upwork, you'll use our messaging tools to discuss the work, terms, deadline, etc. To begin an interview message thread:

1. Go to Jobs › My Jobs and open the job post
2. From Review Proposals click the Send Message button to contact the freelancer or agency

You may want to check this help article to learn more. Let us know if you're still having difficulties and we'll look further into that for you.

Hi, thank you for the quick response. I was doing that yesterday and it didn't work. But it's working now!

"From Review Proposals click the Send Message button to contact the freelancer or agency"

There *is* no god damned "Send Message" button!

I'm amazed that anyone can use this pathetic excuse for a platform.

Hello Michael,

Sorry if that caused any confusion. I see that you don't currently have any open job posts. You won't be able to message any freelancers who've sent you proposals if your job post is already closed; by design, the option is only available on currently open posts. You may visit this page for more information.

Hello Heba,

Thank you for getting back to us. I am stepping in for Arjay. I am sorry to hear that you are unable to send a message to your potential freelancer. I checked your account and could not replicate the issue. Here is a screenshot for your reference. Could you please let us know if you tried using a different browser or incognito mode? If not, could you please try and let us know if the issue persists?
