Available now filter in freelancer search results;
Recorded Zoom meetings in messages (for 7 days);
Redesigned client dashboard;
Recruiter services for clients;
Link GitHub & Stack Overflow accounts to Upwork profile;
Hourly dispute process update;
Profile viewer on Post a job invite page;
Proposal views.

Check out our earlier posts to read more about those updates!

Other Etcetera news

We congratulated 7 people who had birthdays last winter.
Discussed how new AI tools improved out internal processes. It ChatGPT now helping us with analysis for sales team, and also adds a bit of fun to everybody with everyday communication. We hope to further discover new ways how to use AI in the future with Bing’s Cydney. Can’t wait 😍
Announced promotion of our dearest Olena Skorik to PM Head. Olena has been doing much more than her old job position included. We believe effort should always be rewarded, so congratulations Olena on the new role (and new responsibilities 😀).

We finished the meeting with our open positions. If you or your friends are looking for new opportunities now - check out open vacancies here!
