Two problems every Upwork freelancer knows
Relevant jobs never make it into your feed, so you miss good opportunities completely. And by the time you find one, 30 people have already applied. We built Upwork Alerts to solve both — tell it what you do in plain English, and it emails you the right jobs the moment they're posted.

The problems we set out to fix
These aren't edge cases. They're the two reasons most Upwork freelancers feel like they're always fighting an uphill battle.
Relevant jobs never reach your feed
Upwork's built-in search buries the best jobs under irrelevant noise. Great opportunities disappear before you ever see them.
Upwork Alerts monitors every new posting and filters by what actually matches your skills — in plain English, not awkward keywords.
By the time you find one, 30 people have applied
On Upwork, early proposals win. Clients shortlist fast. If you're browsing the job board at the end of your day, you're already too late.
We deliver alerts within seconds of posting — before the inbox floods — so you can be among the first three proposals, not the thirtieth.
How Upwork Alerts works
No complicated setup. No keyword gymnastics.
- 1
Describe what you do in plain English
Write a short description of your skills and the type of clients you want to work with. Upwork Alerts uses AI to understand what makes a job relevant to you — not just keyword matches.
- 2
We watch Upwork around the clock
Our system monitors every new job posted on Upwork 24/7. The moment something that matches your description goes live, we catch it.
- 3
You get notified before the rush
Within seconds of posting, the matched job lands in your inbox or Slack. You apply while the proposal count is still in single digits.
