嗨Upworkers。我已经在Upwork工作了5年多，我对这个平台非常满意。在过去的几年里，我注意到工作招标在过去一年左右发生了巨大的变化。这样的场景已经重复了好几次。所以我知道这不是“一次性”的事情。我在浏览工作，看到一个对我来说有趣和特定的工作(3D动画，寻找单个创作者，不一定是一个团队)，我注意到它是在不到一个小时前发布的。太棒了!时机正合适。我会得到我的出价和求职信很快就会被注意到。不到5分钟后，我准备发布，但我注意到一些东西....在雇主发布广告后不到一个小时，就有50多个投标提交! And the 'connect' bids are from 20 to 50 to get top notice. This is an unreal pace of bidding. Is this just a numbers thing? When in the past there were 100s of freelancers in my field and now there are 1000s, or tens of 1000s? It's hard to know what's going on here. I'm curious to know if there are active recruiters or job-agents that spend their whole work day matching jobs. It seems like this is the new bidding game. If so, it seems unfair. I'm guessing here, but I'm wondering if there are large studios that hire multiple full-time agents, and load them with 1000s of 'Connects' to get noticed. Is this the new normal? It seems unfair. How can single freelancers, or small teams compete with this type of large scale organization? I would like to hire a job hunter, recruiter or whatever agent, but I think this is against the Upwork terms of service. Any thoughts on this fellow Upworkers? I'd love to have some more insight into what's happening in the current Upwork job pitch scene. Thanks so much! 更多的

我想知道为什么我被提示购买连接竞标一个我被邀请的项目。连接周围的条件表明，在响应投标邀请时不需要连接。然而，我被鼓励购买更多的连接……当我检查我的使用情况时，我可以看到没有连接被从我的余额中扣除。但实际上，作为竞标的一部分，我被要求多买一些……尽管我并不需要它们。看起来有点厚脸皮。 更多的
