Hi all,

 

We are no longer awarding free Connects for every interview won or disclosing the number of Connects rewarded in these cases. Unfortunately, we learned from our community that some dishonest customers were gaming the system to get free Connects they didn’t deserve. We occasionally may still give out different amounts of Connects based on factors like the number of jobs available in the marketplace. 

 

For more information, please see this Product Update. You can check your Connects History here.

I was hired but did not get 10 connect yet

You don't get 10 free connects for responding to invitations; only when you send proposals (without being invited first). 

I was not invited.

Looking forward to getting answer fro a moderator

Didnt get connects for my last interview 

Hi Duncan,

 

I have checked your account and it looks like you received a direct offer from a client. Please note that responding to direct offers and invitations to apply to jobs from clients does not qualify for free Connects. You may check this help article for more details.

Okay the client didn’t  interview, was selected and immediate offer was made but i had applied for the task.

Hi Duncan, 

I would like to reconfirm Arjay's response. Since you were immediately offered a contract, and no interview transpired, this doesn't qualify you to win interview Connects. To win Connects, the following must happen: 

  1. Submit a proposal for a job.
  2. Win an interview with a client.
  3. Respond and win a bonus!

You may read more about it here.

Hello, I hope you're doing well. I interviewed three times in the previous two days. But I didn't get free interview connects. Why?

But in my case, I received interviews after submitting proposals and with other candidates too. But I also didn't receive connects. Why?

I have not received my connects on responding to interviews. Do I have to raise a Ticket? 

Hi Maaz,

 

If the interview is eligible please allow 48 hours for the Connects to show on your account. If more time has passed, please let us know which job post/proposal you're referring to so we could check.

Hi Maaz,

 

As per the help article I shared with you above, direct offers are not eligible for free Connects. This means that when the client sends you an offer right away without messaging you first, it does not count as an interview.

Oh. All right. I did not know that.

Hey I have gotten interviews and responded for this jobs but I still didn't get the connect rewards.

Can you check it please?

Hi Elyas,

 

Thank you for reaching out to us. I checked this for you and it looks like the two are not qualified to receive free Connects as you already received 50 Connects seven days prior. Please know that you can only earn up to 50 Connects every seven days.

 

Kindly check this article for more information.

Two days ago, I'd interviewed for 2 jobs. But, I didn't received the 20 connects for these jobs.

Hi Prathamesh,

 

Thank you for your message. Please allow 24-48 hours for the Connects to be credited to your Upwork account. 

 

Thank you,

Hello Pradeep, I still haven't received the connects to my upwork account. Kindly look into this issue and update.

 

Thanks,

Prathamesh C.

I'm not getting connects after job interviews at all. Currently, I'd interviewed for 2 jobs but still, I haven't received the connects for those jobs. How will I apply to new jobs then? I'm out of connects now. I even had to purchase some connects because of this. Kindly look into this issue carefully.

 

Upwork changed their policy so they are no longer giving free connects for all interviews, so yes, you will need to buy connects. 

That is a good update I think this should help in descreasing the number of fake posts. I am glad people who have been tricking the system won't be able to do that anymore.
