Terms, privacy, and work responsibilities
Read our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy at any time from the account menu or public footer. We ask you to confirm updated policies after sign-in and keep a dated acceptance record. Profile publication and optional email preferences remain separate choices. For construction and residential repairs, review the Pennsylvania work requirements before agreeing to work. A booking record does not replace a required home-improvement contract.
Start with what you can do
Build your work profile before creating an account. Choose your skills, tap the counties you serve, and add a few photos of your work. Preview your profile, then enter your name and email to save it. Photos and work history are optional. A résumé can suggest skills and experience for you to review and edit.
Your draft stays on this device for up to seven days. Read the verification email on any device, then enter its code on the screen holding your draft. Review your saved profile, choose whether to publish it, and copy its link for customers. You can keep it private and add more photos or work history later.
A portfolio you can share
Introduce yourself, add examples of what you can do, and preview your page from Your profile. Photos, credentials, and Gigit reviews are optional. Profile setup progress is guidance, not a reputation score. Choose “Publish portfolio” when you are ready for people without an account to see and share your page. Sharing with signed-in members is a separate choice.
Requesting a particular worker
Choose “Request work” on a worker’s portfolio and describe what you need. You can leave the budget or timing undecided. Verify your account to send the private request. It goes to that worker; it does not reserve their time, take payment, or create an open listing. If you already know the scope, dates and price, choose “I’m ready to set the terms” and review a complete booking request. The worker can accept it directly or suggest a change. Either person can ask questions or propose terms. Sending a proposal approves those terms on your side; the other person’s agreement confirms the work. A revised proposal replaces the earlier proposal and needs the other person’s agreement.
Find incoming requests in Work and sent requests in Hiring. You can decline or withdraw an inquiry. Unagreed requests expire after 30 days, and proposals have their own response deadlines. After agreement, use the work record for messages, changes, completion, payment reports, and feedback. The original request link follows the confirmed job, where you can still read the earlier discussion and proposal history.
Describe work in your own words
Start at Post work before or after signing in. AI assistance turns your description into a posting preview. Click a detail to change it or answer a missing detail in your own words. A rough timeframe, estimated budget, or uncertain crew size is fine for a listing; agree exact terms before booking. You review the posting before publishing. If assistance is unavailable, your words stay in the draft and you can continue editing. Browser drafts last up to seven days where browser storage is available; they do not move automatically to another device.
AI assistance sends your briefing text and draft context to OpenAI. Keep private contact details out of the description; use the separate private worksite fields when offered. See Privacy Policy for how briefing data is handled.
From a brief to a working relationship
A business or individual posts the scope, location, and any known timing, budget, and requirements. A worker can express interest without a cover letter. The hiring party sends a specific offer, and the worker decides whether to accept. Only acceptance confirms work.
Pending offers reserve positions until their stated deadline. Each worker has a separate engagement, even on a job with several positions. Messages, terms, completion, payments, and reviews stay together in its workspace.
Your agreement
Review the exact scope, time commitment, price, payment timing, cancellation terms, hiring party, and requirements before accepting. A proposed change does not replace the agreement until the other party accepts it. Rehiring creates a new engagement with fresh dates and acceptance.
Either party can mark work started and submit completion. The other party confirms or reports a problem. Completion does not mean payment has been received.
Payments during the pilot
Pay directly using the method agreed between you. The hiring party can record the amount it reports sending; the worker separately records the amount received. Record each partial payment separately. Payment issues can be reported at any time. Gigit does not hold money, verify bank settlement, provide payroll or insurance, or guarantee payment.
Eligible work arrangements
The pilot begins with bounded local work for contractors and small businesses. Describe an independently delivered subcontract scope or identify employment through the hiring business. The accountable hiring party must establish the appropriate classification and process for the actual work; choosing a label here does not establish it.
Employment arrangements require the hiring business’s hiring, pay, tax, safety, and insurance processes. Regulated work requires current credentials for the jurisdiction and task. An arrangement is available for live booking only after the pilot operator enables its operating process. Ask support before posting work outside the supported scope.
Reputation with context
Self-reported projects and external references are labeled. Checked credentials show the source and date of the check; documents stay private. A completed Gigit engagement creates a private work example the worker may choose to publish with permission.
Eligible participants review the worker or hiring business. Reviews remain blind until both parties submit, or 14 days after feedback eligibility. Payment disputes do not remove feedback eligibility. Repeated engagements show their number of distinct counterparties so repeat work does not appear to be unrelated endorsements. Original feedback, responses, and moderation history are preserved.
Problems and support
Use “Report a problem” in the workspace for scope, payment, safety, cancellation, completion, or no-show disagreements. Include dates and concrete evidence. Reports preserve the existing record; an allegation is not an established outcome.
After 24 hours, unresolved completion receives reminders. After three days, it appears in the support queue. The pilot operator reviews the available record and contacts the parties. An evidence-based participation decision can allow feedback without asserting successful completion or payment. Silence never becomes a verified positive outcome.
Email andrew.valish@gmail.com with the workspace link or report reference for help, correction requests, or an appeal of a moderation decision. This service is not an emergency response channel; contact local emergency services for immediate danger.
Sharing and privacy
Worker profiles are private until the worker opts in. Web portfolios require a separate publication choice and can be opened without an account. Shared profiles may show selected projects, references, credential claims, availability, rates, and published feedback. Exact worksites, contact details, messages, private evidence, and roster notes are restricted to their authorized users. A business cannot publish a contact’s profile on their behalf.
Uploading a work photo requires permission to share it and its customer context. Image location metadata is removed. Credential documents are available only to their owner and reviewers. Files are served through an authorization check, not permanent public storage links.
Turn off profile publication to hide the public profile and portfolio. Revoking roster consent removes that sharing permission; existing work records remain available to their participants. Blocking prevents new unsolicited contact while retaining records and support access for existing work.
Export your profile from Profile. Contact support for account deletion or corrections; records required to resolve work, protect counterparties, or meet applicable obligations may need to be retained. See our Privacy Policy for how records and deletion requests are handled.
Emails and notifications
Manage work emails in Profile → Email preferences. You can receive updates about applications, offers, confirmed work, completion, and other activity on your gigs. Nearby-gig alerts and a daily summary are optional; choose your skills, area, and delivery time, or pause them whenever you need.
Unsubscribe links are included in work emails. Your work and messages stay available when emails are turned off. Open Updates from the bell in the application header to read your account updates, report receipts, and support decisions. Opening Updates does not mark anything read or accept work; use “Mark all updates read” when you are ready. Secure sign-in emails are sent separately when you request access to your account.
