Anyone can see and review your job on the eSession Job Board, but someone must be logged in to bid for it.

If someone is interested in bidding, they will click on the “$” icon on your Job Posting. This button takes the user to the eSession Negotiation page.

15

Bidding on a Job

The bidding member is taken to this Negotiation Page. The Job is found under Client Projects. The bidding member reviews the job’s details, makes any changes necessary and then clicks on Make Offer.

NOTE: Even though the Job has specified a budget and deadline, all details of this transaction can be renegotiated.

Receiving an OfferIf someone makes an offer for a Job, the posting member receives an email and notification that they have received an offer.

This email has a link that says “Go to Negotiation”.

17

How to get to the Negotiations Page

There are 2 ways to get to the Negotiation Page

1. A link in the email you receive alerting you to a pending Negotiation

OR

2. From the eSession Dashboard in My eSession

18

Responding to an Offer

When you receive an offer, you may continue to Re-negotiate, or choose to Cancel or Accept the offer.

19

Accepting an Offer

Should you choose to Accept the Offer, you will be required to pay 50% of the agreed upon fee.

The balance is due when you approve the tracks or mixes the member provides for you.

You will receive rough mixes of the talent member’s work, but you will be unable to download the full-resolution files until the balance is paid in full.

Time to Collaborate!

You may collaborate in real-time with our Virtual Glass™ Plug-in
