Contractors have their own AWEbase accounts, separate from your account, which they can use to maintain their portfolios and contact information.
You may invite a contractor to connect with your organization, regardless of whether or not that contractor already has an AWEbase account.
If you try try to send a Solicitation or Job to a contractor without an account, the system will invite the contractor to both join AWEbase and connect with your organization. (Note that the contractor may join AWEbase without connecting to your organization.)
Once a contractor connects with your organization, you can send that contractor work solicitations, and can see the contractor’s portfolio and contact information. A contractor may be connected to any number of organizations.
