Unable to Hire provider for two different jobs

I have posted two different jobs on Odesk.  I am trying to hire the same provider and I keep receiving a message that I have already hired this provider.  Is there a way to hire the same provider for two different jobs?

 

Thanks

You absolutely can hire the same provider for 2 different jobs

Please make sure that you have the correct job selected. If you have multiple openings, there should be a drop-down at the top of the page. Make sure you are hiring into the right job! If that still does not work, please file a help ticket.

I believe the problem is

I believe the problem is that you can't hire the same provider twice - to the same team. In order to hire a single provider multiple times, your company must have multiple teams, and the jobs need to be in different teams.

You'll need to create a second team (if you don't already have more than one). Then post the second job in the second team. At this time, I don't think you can actually move the job from one team to another (although that feature is in development).

Please post back if you have any more questions.
