New Upwork Job Opportunities Email

There are notification settings for:

  • Desktop
  • Mobile
  • Email
  • Recruiting
  • Freelancer and Agency Proposals
  • Contracts
  • Groups & Invitations
  • Membership
  • Miscellaneous
  • Project Recommendations For Our Top Talent (unsubscribed)
  • Communications from Upwork (unsubscribed)

There is no "Job Recommendations" section on my notification settings as referenced in this email.

 

How do I stop this SPAM please?

Hi Steven,

 

I've escalated your concern to the team. One of our agents will reach out and assist you directly via a support ticket.

FYI: for other freelancers so interested, Upwork tech support removed me as an individual from this mailing list since the notification setting claimed in the email message doesn't exist.

 

Apparently, the only option is to contact support to opt out on an individual basis.

Please remove me as well from this spam list. It’s annoying and useless. Thank you

Maybe count me in as well.

Job recommendations I get are totally irrelevant to my profile and therefore spam.

Otherwise I would love to see updates based on my profile or searches.

Someone from our team will reach out to you via support ticket in order to assist you further.

Hello, can you please remove me from this list as well? Why can I not see the option to unsubscribe in my settings? These "5 new opportunities" are useless and taking up my inbox.

How do I turn off this email for new opportunities? The link goes to the Notification page but not sure which option turns it off. By the time I get it, the jobs are several days old so it is not useful. I appreciate the effort though.

 

Thanks!

Hi Andrea,

 

I'd like to unsubscribe from the recommended job emails as well.

There is no option to stop getting them in the notifications settings.

Hi Alexander,

 

I'll have one of our team members reach out to you directly via a support ticket with further assistance. You can access your ticket and communicate with the team on this page.

Hi Mario,
 
Thank you for reaching out to us. If you like, you can choose not to receive these emails notifications by updating your Notification Settings.
