The My Jobs home experience has been updated to better service our business clients and to position Upwork as a business partner for companies (rather than individuals).
The space is meant to encourage and enable teams to collaborate on a centralized dashboard. Important info is now up front and the page provides the social proof and knowledge sharing that can accelerate their use of, and success on, Upwork. Each hiring manager on the account also has a personalized view of their company activity through this view.
Individuals without coworkers will be able to use the dashboard to get started faster thanks to an updated How It Works section that provides the steps to get started. Individuals will also be able to post a job faster and get inspiration for their job posts by using modifiable job templates.
The dashboard includes new features that will launch in 3 phases and has 4 main states.
- You haven’t posted a job and you have no coworkers
Company & Coworkers
Clients will see their company name at the top of the page with a + next to it. Admins can click on the + to add coworkers to the shared company account.
My Jobs
If you haven’t posted a job yet, My Jobs will be empty and prompt you to post a job or check out job posts that other companies have posted (and in phase 2, prompt you to use a job template.)
New How It Works (HIW)
At the bottom of the page, we have updated our HIW to clearly explain how to use Upwork, with links to helpful resources. This section will disappear after the first contract is complete.
Job Post Templates
The right sidebar links to modifiable templates in all L1 categories. Each category contains 3 different templates that clients can edit and add onto to quickly and easily create a new job post. ( Latest prototype so you can see where they click to)
- You’ve posted a job, but you don’t have coworkers yet (or you have coworkers who have not posted a job yet)
Company & Coworkers
Clients will see their company name at the top of the page with a + next to it. Admins can click on the + to add coworkers to the shared company account.
My Jobs
This is where clients come to find all the information about their own jobs. The My Jobs section will expand to include the following subsections, similar to Jobs Home today: My Postings, My Drafts, My Pending Contracts, and My Contracts.
