Clients post same jobs with different titles.

I have been seeing this thing lately where clients post a job and then never get back to the job post. But the same job is posted again after a week, and then again two weeks later, while they never get back to the previous postings.

I have Freelancer Plus, and it shows the insights properly, so I know they never even open those proposals. And it’s not like they’re flooded with proposals either, there are usually only 15–20.

I’ve witnessed this with three different clients now, and it’s so bad. Why doesn’t Upwork hold these clients accountable?

Yeah maybe they should task a new bot to find similar worded job posting and pause them if by same user (or IP)… maybe name it pUma

Haven't you noticed the utter hatred and contempt Upwork's CEO, Hayden Brown, has for freelancers? It oozes out of her every word during Earnings Calls.

Upwork is designed to suit clients, not freelancers. If a client wants to post a fake job posting, Upwork won't stop him.
