Bidding On a GIG  
 
   
   
 
 
   
 
 

This is your opportunity to sell yourself to the employer and get yourself a gig. It’s a pretty straightforward process and fairly self-explanatory but we’ll explain a few things anyway. First of all, this is an auction-style process. There will be a number of bidders and the employer will choose the winner among them. However, unlike eBay, it isn’t necessarily the lowest or most recent bidder who wins. The employer is sole judge of to whom they will award the gig.

 
 
 
 
  Getting Paid  
  We currently no infrastructure for escrowing and releasing payments to the professional. We hope to add that soon. Meanwhile, it is up to you and your employer to make your own arrangements. In some cases the two of you will actually meet and payment can be made then. In other cases we recommend www.escrow.com as a secure and safe method for holding payments from the employer and releasing them to the professional at an agreed-upon schedule.
