What Does Hires 1 Mean on UpWork?

Last updated on September 29, 2022 @ 10:22 pm

Hiring 1 is a new feature on UpWork that allows businesses to post jobs and receive applications from freelancers. This feature is designed to help businesses find the best freelancers for their needs, and to make the hiring process easier and faster.

When a business posts a job on UpWork, they can choose to make the job public or private. If they make the job public, any freelancer can apply for the job. If they make the job private, only those freelancers who have been invited by the business can apply.

PRO TIP: If you see the Hires 1 badge on a freelancer’s profile, it means that they are a newbie on Upwork and have not yet had the chance to build up their hours or feedback score. While they may be great at what they do, they may not yet have the experience to deliver the quality of work that you expect.

When a business receives applications for a job, they can use Hiring 1 to quickly review the applications and decide which freelancer to hire. Hiring 1 makes it easy to compare different freelancers side-by-side, and to see which ones are the best fit for the job.

The Hiring 1 feature is currently in beta, and is available to all UpWork users.
