How it Works for Project Owners

Okay, I've got a job and I need it done, what do I do?

Click on the Submit Your Job link and post your project. For verification purposes we'll send you an email containing a link which needs to be visited.

Is this really a free service?

Yes. Of course you'll need to pay the worker should you accept them to complete your job. All we ask in return is that if you rate the worker so other customers in future may have a better understanding of their performance. To rate a worker you will need to accept that particular worker's bid online.

Once I start receiving quotes, am I under any obligation to accept one of them?

No, if you aren't happy with the bids or the workers aren't exactly what you are looking for you are under no obligation at all to accept the bids.

I have found a worker on your site which I am going to accept to do a job, is there anything I should be aware of?

You should always ask your worker for a few client references and make sure you follow these references up.

If it's building work for instance then check to see whether the worker has the correct qualifications, certificates etc and that they have previous experience doing that particular type of job.
Ask them who will be doing the job, will it be them or a sub contractor?
If they can't do the job straight away then make sure that the amount they bid for will not rise. Remember to get them to break down the price so you know what you are paying for.
Get a contract written up, stating when the job is due to be completed, when work starts etc. Also don't pay too much money up front - be aware that disputes can happen between a worker and project owner.
