How it works
Five kinds of work, each with its own flow
A remote Gig isn't a local task, a tradesperson isn't a freelancer, and a job isn't a project. Here's how each one goes from posting to sign-off on Gigvora.
Projects
Client and freelancer or agency · remoteA brief with milestones, fixed-price or hourly. Projects are freelance work — not employment.
- Post
Client posts a project
Scope, budget and milestones, published to the Explorer.
- Respond
Freelancers send proposals
Each proposal sets out approach, timeline and price.
- Agree
Client accepts a proposal
That opens a project workspace with the agreed milestones.
- Deliver
Work is submitted
Deliverables are submitted per milestone; hourly work logs time.
- Sign off
Client approves
Each milestone is approved or sent back for revision, then the project is completed.
Gigs
Buyer and seller · remoteA packaged, fixed-scope remote service the seller defines up front.
- Post
Seller publishes a Gig
Packages, delivery time and included revisions.
- Respond
Buyer chooses a package
Buyers message the seller today; ordering opens with live payments.
- Agree
Requirements are shared
The order starts once the seller has what they need.
- Deliver
Seller delivers
The result is delivered in the order's workspace.
- Sign off
Buyer accepts
Or requests a revision within the package's terms.
Tasks
Poster and local helper · in personA small, one-off job at a place and time — not a remote Gig.
- Post
Someone posts a task
What, roughly where and when. Only an approximate area is public.
- Respond
Local people make offers
Helpers nearby offer to do it and can ask questions.
- Agree
Poster accepts an offer
The task is assigned and a workspace opens.
- Deliver
Helper completes it
They mark the task done when the work is finished.
- Sign off
Poster confirms
Or sends it back if something still needs doing.
Local services
Customer and service provider or tradesperson · in personAn ongoing in-person service with a coverage area. Tradespeople are listed by trade, separately from freelancers.
- Post
Provider lists a service
What's included, pricing approach and the areas covered.
- Respond
Customer requests a quote
Describing the job, place and timing.
- Agree
Customer accepts the quote
It becomes a confirmed booking.
- Deliver
Provider does the job
The booking moves to in progress and then completed.
- Sign off
Record kept
The booking and its history stay in both workspaces.
Jobs
Organisation and candidate · employmentEmployment roles posted by organisations. Jobs end in a hire, not a delivery workspace.
- Post
Organisation posts a job
Role, work mode, location and requirements.
- Respond
Candidates apply
With a cover note and answers to the employer's questions.
- Agree
Screening and interviews
The hiring team moves applicants through stages and records evaluations.
- Deliver
Offer
The employer makes an offer to the chosen candidate.
- Sign off
Hired
The application closes as hired; employment continues outside Gigvora.
Across every flow
What stays the same
One inbox
Questions, proposals and updates for every kind of work arrive in the same Gigvora inbox.
A shared record
Each status change is recorded in the activity history, visible to both sides.
Checks you can read
Badges appear only once a check is completed — never because something was uploaded.
Payments
Payments through Gigvora are being introduced. Checkout is still in testing and no real money moves through Gigvora yet — every fee will be shown before you confirm.
