For job owners

Posting a job: what to include

A clear listing gets better applicants. Here is what to put in yours, and what the platform takes care of on your behalf.

Posting a job: what to include

Verify first

Before you can post anything, you complete identity verification through our payment partner. It takes a few minutes and it is the reason parents are willing to let their teens apply to your listing.

Write the listing properly

The teens applying are between 13 and 17, and a parent will read your listing before approving the application. Write it for both of them.

  • What the task actually involves, in plain terms
  • Roughly how long you expect it to take
  • Where it happens, and whether anyone will be home
  • Anything they need to bring, or that you will provide

Set a fair rate

You decide what to offer. Be realistic about the effort involved, and remember a parent is weighing it up alongside the time it takes. Clear, fair listings get more applicants.

What the platform handles

Your listing is scanned automatically before it goes live. Applications only reach you once a parent has approved them, so everyone applying already has permission. Payment is held securely and released after the job is done, and a service fee is added on top of the amount you offer.

Choosing someone

You can see each applicant profile, their completed jobs and their reviews. Once you accept, messaging opens for that job, and the teen parent can see the conversation. Keep everything in the app.

Afterwards

Mark the job complete and leave an honest review. Reviews are how a teen builds a record worth having, so a specific, fair review is genuinely useful to them.
