Curious Why I get these Referrals by Upwork Talent Scouts and ZERO Communication after?

They never go anywhere? Anything I can do different I would appreciate a heads up?

The talent specialists merely invite you to interview, ulitimately the client determines if there are any next steps based on your proposal.

The general consensus on the forum seems to be the talent specialists are not very effective at their job of connecting talent & jobs. That is to say, they stink at it.

Hi Keith,

We will be unable to confirm the client's activities, and why they don't respond after they have been connected with talented freelancers. I would suspect that the holidays may affect client response times, but that is just based on what has been shared here in the Community. In the past years, freelancers in the Community have shared that the last quarter of the year seems a bit slow for them because the holidays are coming up. 

Hopefully, your potential clients reach out to you soon.
