How posting a gig works
Four short steps from idea to the first person on the job.
-
1
Describe the job
Write one clear line, like "Edit 6 short product videos" or "Two bartenders for a Friday party". Add skills if you know them.
-
2
Set place and budget
Pick remote or a city with a radius. Choose a fixed price or an hourly rate. GigList shows the typical range next to your number.
-
3
Publish and get matched
Matching starts the moment you publish. You see a ranked shortlist of people with the right skills who are free on your dates.
-
4
Pick, message and hire
Read short summaries of each applicant, ask your screening questions, message the best ones and mark the gig as filled.
What to include in your gig post
Good posts get better people faster. Use this list before you publish.
- A title that names the task and the result, not just the role
- The date, the deadline or the shift times
- Remote, hybrid or on site, with the city and how far people can travel
- A budget range, fixed or hourly, so people know it is worth their time
- The skills or tools that are a must, and the ones that are nice to have
- What "done" looks like, for example 6 videos under 30 seconds each
- Two or three screening questions that only a good fit can answer
Screening questions that save you time
Add up to five questions to any gig. Each applicant answers before you talk.
- Q1 Which similar job did you finish last, and what was the result?
- Q2 Are you free on the date and for the full shift?
- Q3 Which tools or equipment do you bring?
- Q4 What would you need from us on day one?
