Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can I hire a contractor?
Your posting appears in matching professionals' feeds as soon as it is published, and their applications arrive in your dashboard. On a White Glove contract you still choose who works; Automate America is your one supplier and pays them.
What types of contractors are available?
Every trade and technical field: PLC programmers, robotics engineers, controls engineers, vision specialists, electricians, maintenance technicians and more, for industrial, commercial and residential work.
How does pricing work?
You set the hourly rate you want to pay, and that is what you pay, no more: no hidden fees, no memberships, no subscriptions. Posting is free and Standard contracts carry no Automate America fee when you hire. On White Glove, we take a small variable percentage of the rate you posted before we show the contract to the community. This option costs you nothing, and professionals are paid 100% of the rate they see when they apply. There is no placement fee and no conversion fee. Optional boosts give a posting extra reach.
What does Automate America give my company?
On-demand access to any professional, when and where you need them, for as long as needed. Every professional gets free and fair access to every opportunity they qualify for, and there is no bidding, so you pick the best professional, not the cheapest.
Can I try before committing?
Yes. Requesting and posting carry no commitment: nothing is committed until you click Hire. Start with one professional and grow when you're ready.
What are Connection Stories?
Connection Stories are short accounts two people write about real work they did together on Automate America — the project, how they met on the job, what it was like. The other person confirms it, adds their side, or declines it privately. A story both people confirm is Verified. A Verified story shows on both people's profiles, where anyone can read it. Names in stories are first names only.
