Messaging a Candidate from a Closed Job

[f4fcfc7c]

Hello - My organization had a job post up a few months ago that is now closed. We would like to reach out to a candidate that submitted a proposal, however the only option that I see is "Hire" button. Is there a way to message the candidate to discuss scope, timeline, and budget prior to hiring?

You can message directly...but require some criteria to full fill like,

All clients who meet eligibility requirements can message talent directly. Here’s how to qualify:

• Have a current verified billing method
• Have an Upwork account in good standing (not on hold)
  
  And either:
• Spent a total of $1,000 or more in the past 12 months OR
• Made a payment more than 90 days ago

You can make up to 5 new connections via direct message per day.

you can refer upwork article for direct message too 😌

and required any help for web development, illustration or graphics I will be happy to help 

Best regards,
