Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to search for professionals?
Searching, browsing, and viewing profiles is completely free. You only pay when you engage a professional through our White Glove service (with employer-of-record support) or directly for Standard contracts.
How do I know if a professional is really available?
Professionals are responsible for keeping their availability status current. Look for the "Available Now" badge and check their "Available From" date. You can also message them to confirm before making a formal request.
Can I search for professionals in multiple locations?
Yes! Use multiple searches or expand your radius filter. Many professionals are willing to travel or relocate - check their travel/relocation preferences on their profile.
What's the difference between Request and Connect?
Request is for active engagement - you want to hire them for a specific project. Connect is for networking - you want to stay in touch for future opportunities. Request is more formal and typically leads to a contract.
How do I evaluate professionals without reviews?
For newer profiles without reviews, focus on: work experience (companies and duration), skills and certifications, profile completeness, and responsiveness when you message them. Consider starting with a shorter contract to evaluate fit.
