Open Vs Closed Bids


It is important to consider the different advantages and benefits between an Open and Closed project status. An "Open" status allows all professionals including Premium, Elite and Elite Plus members, to bid on a given project. A "Closed" status restricts the bidding to just Elite and Elite Plus Professionals. Here are the key benefits for each status:


Open Status



Competitively priced bids, since professionals are able to view each other bids.


Project will be viewed by a larger pool of professionals likely resulting in more bids.

Closed Status



Receive project bids from Elite and Elite Plus members, who have undergone a complete pre-screening process by the ESalesGuru Evaluation Team prior to acceptance.


These members are top-quality professionals and firms that have received the stamp of approval from our team of recruitment specialists.


Employers will likely receive a higher quality base of comprehensive bids from Elite and Elite Plus professionals.







If you are undecided as to what status to choose, we recommend testing both in order to evaluate the type of bids you receive under each status.
