Question 1

Do I need a CV?

Accepted Answer

No. You fill in your name and field — that's enough to get going. A photo isn't required.

Question 2

Does an account cost anything?

Accepted Answer

No. Creating a profile and browsing assignments is free; there's no subscription for professionals.

Question 3

Do I need to be registered as a business?

Accepted Answer

Not for the platform itself. Whether registration or your own bookkeeping is needed in your situation is up to you — Jobberd doesn't advise on that.

Question 4

How do I stand out to companies?

Accepted Answer

Answer the screening questions seriously and finish assignments properly. Reviews from earlier assignments show on your profile.

Question 5

How many assignments can I do at once?

Accepted Answer

Up to 3 active assignments. Finish one and you can start a new one right away.

Question 6

What's the difference between a paid and an open challenge?

Accepted Answer

A paid challenge has a budget and rewards the best submissions. On an open challenge you submit for free, in exchange for experience and a review on your profile.

Question 7

How much time does an assignment take?

Accepted Answer

It varies. Most assignments take 4 to 8 hours, and the deadline is always stated before you apply.

Question 8

What if I miss a deadline?

Accepted Answer

It's recorded on your profile and companies can see it. So flag it in time if you're not going to make it — communication counts.

Question 9

When do I get paid?

Accepted Answer

After the company confirms completion. Until then the amount sits in escrow at Stripe.

Question 10

What do I need to set up to receive money?

Accepted Answer

You connect a payout account through Stripe once. Without that connection a payout can't be processed.

Question 11

How soon is the money in my account?

Accepted Answer

Once the company approves the delivery, the payout is set in motion. After that it usually takes a few business days.

Question 12

What if the company goes quiet or disagrees?

Accepted Answer

File a dispute from your dashboard. Jobberd reviews the assignment and the delivered work and mediates. Your payment stays in escrow while the dispute runs.
