Review proposals and hire

Read each proposal, shortlist the ones you like, talk them through in Messages, and hire when you're ready.

For clients

See your proposals

On your project's page, choose View all to open Proposals. Filter by All, New, Viewed or Shortlisted, and sort by newest or oldest.

Each proposal shows the professional's approach, up to three projects like yours, when they could start and their fee: to discuss, a range or a quotation.

  • Shortlist keeps a proposal at hand.
  • View proposal opens it in full, with View profile and your own Private client notes.
  • From the ⋯ menu you can send a Message, or choose Not moving forward.

Talk it through

On a proposal, choose Reply. The conversation opens in Messages, where the professional can also send their quote, their fee and terms, and what's covered, as cards in the chat.

  • Ask anything about the proposal: the style, the options, the dates and the price.
  • Send photos, drawings and files in the chat.
  • Talking to more than one professional? Each has their own chat, and they don't see each other's.

When you're ready to hire

  1. Press Hire on the proposal or at the top of the chat, and confirm. Your conversations with the other professionals on this project close.
  2. The professional sends the Agreement in the chat: the scope, what you'll receive, the pricing and the terms.
  3. Read it, then approve it, or reply in the chat to ask for changes.

Your project's Timeline opens as soon as you hire.
