Can you hire someone as a freelancer without creating a client profile?

Hello! Thanks in advance for everyone's help 🙂 I have worked on Upwork for a long time, and now that I am finally ready to get serious about creating a website where I can showcase some of my work, I would love to pay it forward and hire someone on Upwork to help me create and polish my existing Wordpress site!

 

Is there any way to post a job and hire someone from my freelancer profile? Or do I have to create a separate client profile before posting a job?

Hi Hallee,

 

You need to have a client account in order to post a job and hire a freelancer for your Job. You can be a Client and a Freelancer using the same account. You’ll use the same account to log in to Upwork, but the two parts of your account will be kept entirely separate. You’ll be able to easily switch between the two as needed. To create a Client account on your existing account, please follow up instructions in this help article.

 

Thank you!

Hi Gul E,

 

Thank you for your message. You can also add your name under the company name if you do not have any company.

I put my company I work for and it has my account on hold because they want all this tax income statments and stuff not needed. I then changed it to the word individual and still on hold. The lack of phone number for this is really not good I cannot call customer svc. and the person I want to hire is sitting on standby all this time. I am in limbo here.
