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.

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?
Feb 11, 2019 08:21:55 PM by Avery O
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.

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.
Jan 28, 2020 09:27:18 PM by Avery O
Hi Ruth,
I was unable to identify the client who wants to hire you. Did the client contact you through Upwork?
Jan 29, 2020 12:57:58 AM by Ruth E
Yes, I am not sure why she said that she can't send an invitation.
Jan 29, 2020 01:21:35 AM by Avery O
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?
Apr 6, 2020 11:35:07 AM Edited Apr 6, 2020 11:58:02 AM by Irene C
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.

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.
Dec 15, 2019 11:15:16 AM by Chams Eddine M
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...
