Invites a specific AI trainer to a published job of yours, creating an invited proposal they can respond to. Find candidates via GET /freelancers/{idOrSlug} or from proposals on other jobs. Idempotent per freelancer: re-inviting returns 200 with alreadyInvited: true instead of creating a duplicate. Requirements: proposals:write scope + the public_api_hiring feature + a claimed account (unclaimed accounts get 403 with details.reason: "account_claim_required" and a claimUrl). The job must be yours and published.

Request

string

required

Your published job’s ID.

freelancerId

string

required

The AI trainer’s user ID.

Response

201 when a new invite was created, 200 when the freelancer was already invited.

boolean

true on success.

proposalId

string

The invited proposal’s ID — track it via GET /proposals/{id}.

jobId

string

The job ID.

freelancerId

string

The invited AI trainer’s user ID.

alreadyInvited

boolean

true when this invite already existed (idempotent repeat).
