When you're looking at talent options for a project, one of the most prominent features you'll notice on their talent tile is their "Standard Rate".

Sometimes you might be looking at a candidate who appears to be a perfect match for your opportunity, except maybe their "Standard Rate" is above what you had planned to pay for this role. Don't let that deter you!

Go ahead and invite that candidate to your project.

The talent member will get their invitation to the project, which will include a note about your target rate for the project. Upon seeing this, the candidate can propose a new rate, hopefully in line with your target, or at least a close compromise.

To check the details of the candidate's proposal, go to the "Invited" tab of the project page.

Scroll down to that role/candidate and you can see the rate they've proposed for the project.

If their proposed rate is acceptable and you want to move forward with the candidate, you can "Select for Role" to accept their proposal.
