Receive bids from workers

     Every time a worker makes a bid or comment on your project, you'll be notified by email:
Post project

A notification also shows up in your "To Do List" (located under your "employer" tab):

To do list
(click here for full size)



To view the bid or comment, just click on the link from either location to see the full information. To examine the worker themselves, just click on their name and you can view their past work history, resume, certifications and read what previous employers had to say about them.

You can correspond back and forth with workers on your 'short list' using the site. Just click on the 'reply' link:

Reply link

If the worker is online, you can also instant message them to communicate back and forth in real-time.

(Click here for more information on instant messaging.)


And on projects > $500, additional worker info such as phone number, instant message id, etc. are available.
 
Note: This information ONLY appears if the bidder has authorized it's release.
If they have not, then the above link will not be shown.
