I received a project offer from an Employer, but didn't bid on their project. How did this happen?
You can now get hired without bidding on a project! From October 2011, Employers are able to hire you directly using Hire Me or from the Find Freelancers directory.
To confirm your offer: Log in to your Freelancer account and look for the offer in your Dashboard. You can Accept or Decline but act fast so you don't miss out!
