Hi,
She set up a profile at: **Edited for community guidelines**
But the invite button is not active. She is new to upwork and created the profile last week.
I have work for her now and the project is getting delayed. What can we do?
Solved! Go to Solution.

re: "My friend created a profile and I wan't to hire her but Invite button on active"
David:
It is not Upwork's intention that you hire your friend.
Upwork is used by clients to find, hire and pay freelancers in remote locations.
Upwork does not want you to use Upwork to try to get your friend's freelancer profile on Upwork kickstarted.
Maybe you could get away with something like that.
Or maybe Upwork will terminate your account AND your friend's account.

Muhammad Zeeshan is correct.
Upwork will be HAPPY to have you hire your friend.
But you don't need Upwork for that.
You didn't meet her through Upwork. You are not required to hire her through Upwork. In fact, hiring people to build up their profiles is an express violation of Upwork ToS, and it is something that Upwork has many undisclosed algorithms and techniques in use to look for.

I like using Upwork for tax complaince purposes. I am the director of a corporation and Upwork helps manage legal and taxation issues - that is worth the 10% fee. Unless you are a lawyer too, please don't bring up TOS compliance.
