Why Your Upwork Job Post Is Repelling Top Talent (and What to Do Instead)

Most clients sabotage their own Upwork projects before they even start — by writing job posts that instantly turn off the best freelancers and agencies. In this episode, Vic Dorfman (founder of MemberFix) breaks down why “fixed price” postings, vague requirements, and phrases like “should be an easy job” send red flags to serious professionals. Learn how to structure your job posts and project discussions to attract top-tier experts, avoid hostage projects, and build honest, productive partnerships — the same approach Vic uses after spending hundreds of thousands hiring on Upwork himself.
