From job posting to getting hired
See how contracts appear, how subcontractors bid for work, what employers see when you apply — and how a strong portfolio keeps you in work.
This is how a job looks
Every contract shows the trade, company, location, rate and duration — so you know instantly whether it suits you. Open a job to apply or place a bid.
How you bid for work
Bidding is gated so employers only see serious, verified subcontractors. Three steps stand between you and the job.
1. Get approved
Register your account and become an approved subcontractor in your trade.
2. Screen your certifications
Upload your certifications so we can verify them before you bid.
3. Place your bid
Set your rate and duration, add a short message, and submit your bid.

How employers see your account
When you bid, employers open your profile — verified, transparent and built to answer their questions before they even ask.
