Stop wasting expensive Connects on ghost jobs and low-hire clients. Connects Saver is a lightweight, non-intrusive intelligence HUD built for Upwork freelancers. It automatically evaluates client metrics and surfaces critical hiring data directly on your Upwork job feed and detail drawer. KEY FEATURES ✓ Real-Time Client Metrics Instantly view client star ratings (★), verified payment status, total platform spend, and proposal volume without clicking through multiple pages. ⚠ Ghost Job Detection Flags clients with low historical hire rates (< 30%) with high-visibility warning badges before you spend Connects on jobs that rarely convert to a hire. ✓ Client First Name Extractor Automatically analyzes past freelancer reviews and feedback to surface the client's real first name. Personalize your proposal greeting ("Hi David, ...") to stand out from generic, copy-pasted proposals. ⚠ Competition & Saturation Alerts Detects saturated listings (> 20 proposals) and highlights fresh opportunities (< 5 proposals) so you can prioritize your bids effectively. ✓ Recruiter & Enterprise Detection Identifies staffing agencies, Upwork Enterprise clients, and jobs partnered with Upwork Talent Specialists. ✓ Auto-Hide Unverified Jobs Clean up your feed with a one-click toggle in the extension popup to collapse posts from clients with unverified payment methods.
