How to Write a Job Post Providers Can Respond To

Start with a plain title

Say what the job is in a few words: “Replace bathroom tap and check under-sink leak” beats “Need plumber urgently”. A specific title helps the right providers notice your post.

Describe the job, the space and the goal

Explain what is wrong or what you want built, then describe the space: the room, the size, the access and anything unusual. Mention the result you are after so providers can suggest the right approach.

• What needs doing, in a sentence or two.
• Where it is: indoors or outdoors, which floor, how to reach it.
• Any materials you already have, or any you want the provider to supply.
• The date you would like it finished, if it matters.

Add photos

A few clear photos save a lot of words. Show the whole area first, then close-ups of the problem. Good light and a steady phone are all you need.

Give a realistic budget

A budget range tells providers whether the job is a fit for them and keeps proposals close to what you can spend. If you are unsure, say so and ask providers to explain what is included in their price.

Set your location and be reachable

TaskZing helps you find nearby providers, so set your location accurately. Reply to proposals promptly so providers know whether you would like to discuss the job.
