Connects

[arsalanhabib13]

Hello everyone! 

I'm a bit confused about the connects system, If I submit a proposal to a project and don't get hired do I get my connects back? 

To elaborate, if the job owner hires 1 person from 10 proposals, do the other 9 get their connects back?

You don't get back any connect back if you don't get hired. 

If the client hires only one freelancer then all others would lose their connect.

Well, you only get connects back if the client discards/cancels the job.

This is also my concern. I hope that Upwork will return our Connects if they didn't hire us in a month.

This is also my question, What if client does not hire anyone for a month ? or what If someone just posting job but does not have really Intention to hire anyone.

Great question! Hope someone answers. Upwork should limit the total no of proposals so that connects are not getting wasted for every proposal being submitted.

Hi, I want to transfer available connects from freelancer plus to agency plus. Could you assist me? Thanks, Subbu

Hi Subbu,

I would like to clarify that Connects can't be transferred from your freelancer profile to your agency profile or vise versa. 

I would also like to clarify that your freelancer profile name, needs to be your full legal name. Thank you.
