Find answers to the most common questions about our platform
Getting Started
Hiring talent is easy and direct: search for workers using keywords and filters, view their profiles with skills and contact information, and reach out to them directly using their preferred contact methods. No account needed to browse and contact workers!
Yes, creating an account, browsing talent profiles, and connecting with workers is completely free. There are 0% platform fees on direct hires - we don't take a cut from your transactions. GiveGigs is supported by optional donations and premium services.
GiveGigs is a unique global work collective with three key differences: 1) 0% platform fees - workers keep 100% of their earnings, 2) Direct worker contact with no account needed, and 3) Our Low Rate vs. Rush Rate system that clearly differentiates between standard and urgent work.
Hiring Process
Worker profiles include detailed information about their skills, experience, portfolio, and rates. You can review this information to assess their qualifications. We also encourage direct communication before hiring to ensure they're the right fit for your project.
Our unique pricing approach offers two clear options: Low Rate for easy, simple, low-stress work completed at a comfortable pace, and Rush Rate for urgent, high-priority work requiring immediate attention and faster delivery. This helps set clear expectations for both parties.
No! One of our core features is allowing you to browse worker profiles and access their public contact information instantly without needing an account. You can connect directly via their preferred contact methods right away.
GiveGigs Ecosystem
Our ecosystem includes: Worker Pages (individual freelancers), Agency Pages (firms with multiple workers), Job Pages (long-term opportunities), Task Pages (short-term projects), Service Pages (pre-defined services with set pricing), Client Pages (for hiring companies), Favor Offer Pages (pro-bono work offerings), and Favor Ask Pages (requests for free/low-budget help).
Unlike traditional platforms, GiveGigs doesn't process payments. You pay workers directly using your preferred payment method, which means no platform fees. This direct approach gives both parties more flexibility and keeps costs down.
We prioritize transparency while facilitating direct connections. We provide resources to help you avoid common online scams through our Scam Warnings page. We recommend clear communication about project details, deliverables, and payment terms before starting work.
