Steps
- 1
Sign up with the worker link
It sets onboarding up for workers; pick “i want to get hired” on the first step. Use whichever sign-up option the page offers; email sign-ups verify the address before continuing.
- 2
Review what onboarding publishes
Add the skills, languages, work type and location you actually have. Finishing onboarding makes your profile available for work, so read each public field first.
- 3
Pick a bounty you can finish
Read the whole bounty: what counts as done, the deadlines and the proof it asks for. The price shown is the price you apply at.
- 4
Write a short, specific message
Two or three sentences on why you fit this task, plus any links or answers the bounty asks for.
- 5
Clear the checks it asks for
If the apply screen asks you to verify your phone or ID or set up payouts, do that, then apply again.
Illustrative only — written for an imagined bounty, not a live one.
- Too vague: “I am hardworking and reliable. Please pick me.”
- Specific: “I’ve assembled four flat-pack wardrobes this year and own a drill. I can start Saturday morning and will send a photo of each finished piece.”
What is true today
- The sign-up page asks you to tick “I agree to the Terms of Service” and “I agree to the Privacy Policy” and to pass a security check. It offers Google, and email when email sign-up is switched on.
- The worker sign-up link records that you signed up to work, so onboarding is set up for the worker path; you still pick “i want to get hired” on its first step. When onboarding is finished it opens your notification settings.
- Finishing worker onboarding saves your profile with “Accepting work” on, so it can appear in search. Turning “Accepting work” off later hides it from search without deleting it.
- Before an application goes through you may be asked to “Verify your phone or ID to apply.” and to set up payouts, so the platform can pay you if you are accepted.
- New service bookings are paused. Work comes from applying to bounties, not from being booked straight off your profile.
- You apply at the price shown on the bounty. Custom application prices are not accepted. Source
- An application message can be up to 2,000 characters. Some bounties also ask screening questions or require links to your work.

What this doesn’t promise
- A complete profile does not guarantee you are selected or that bounties are posted near you.
- Checks differ by bounty and country; the bounty page and the apply screen are the final word.
