"This freelancer is not available for job invitations"

I'm trying to hire a freelancer for one of my jobs, but their profile says, "This freelancer is not available for job invitations."  I was instructed to contact support to get the profile approved for hiring.  Please advise.

I have the same problem.

Hi Christian Kyle,

 

I checked your account and it looks like it is still under review. The profile review process may take at least 24 hours to complete. Once it's completed, you will receive an email and a notification to your Upwork account to update you of the status of your profile approval. Once approved, you can start submitting proposals.

Good day! I am new to upwork and my profile got rejected but the employer of my cousin wants to hire me but he can't invite me for a job. Can you please help me?

Hi Justine, 

I checked your profile and can see that it was recently accepted. The client should be able to hire you through your Upwork profile.

Hi, It seems that I cant send a proposal in behalf of my agency freelancer **Edited for community guidelines**. My agency client also can't invite her. please check. 

Hi Gian,

 

Looks like their account wasn't accepted into our marketplace. Unfortunately, their profile needs to be approved first before they can join your agency as an active member. Thank you.

I had members who doesnt have approved accounts but I can still send
proposals for them as an agency member

Hi Gian,

 

You can invite a freelancer to work exclusively for your agency. Please refer to this help article for more information on exclusive and non-exclusive statuses of agency freelancers.

Hi Arline,

 

I just checked this for you and you should be able to click on the "Invite" button on the freelancer's profile and invite them to your project. 

 

Feel free to reach back to us if you still need any assistance.

Hello! I am having the same problem, someone wants to invite me to a job but it says "This freelancer is not available for job invitations." I hope you can help me with this problem. Not sure what went wrong.

Hi Ruth, 

I was unable to identify the client who wants to hire you. Did the client contact you through Upwork? 


~ Avery
Upwork

Yes, I am not sure why she said that she can't send an invitation.

Hi Ruth, 

I checked, and the only proposal you sent out was for the contract that was recently closed. Is it the same client who wants to hire you? Is the client trying to hire you as an agency freelancer? 


~ Avery

Issue fixed - it appears that withdrawing a previous proposal caused a block in the system

 

Hi I'm a freelancer messaging with a client right now who's trying to hire me and we are experiencing this issue. Please help!

Hello, I contacted a freelancer through another working community, and I would like to hire him through Upwork. He passed me the link to his profile but it says "This freelancer is not available for job invitations." Is there a way I can hire him anyways?

 

Thank you.

Hello, I would like to hire a freelancer through Upwork. He passed me the link to his profile but it says "This freelancer is not available for job invitations." What can I do? Thanks!

Chams: you can create a public job posting. It is free for you to do so.

 

Then send the link to that posting to the freelancer you are in conversation with. He can apply to your job posting regardless of his privacy or availability setting.


Alternatively, you need to get him to set his available status to available. Then you will be able to send him a private invite.

 

Makr sure you are logged in to Upwork and using your client aspect/profile.

Thanks for your answer Preston.

 

I did what you ask me to do but the freelancer still cannot apply because his profile is not approved..

Then you may want to hire a different freelancer.

You could also request for him to be allowed to work with you (and you only, no other client at all)

 

Would this possibly be connected with your friend's profile not being approved?

Just in case it is, "hiring" your friends to get them on the platform or boost their profile can get you both suspended...

Got the same message. Please, help! 🙂 I can't hire a very professional translator with whom I've been working with.

Hi Andrei,


Could you please reach out to me via PM (click on my name) and share the freelancer profile URL with me so that I can investigate this further? Thank you.
