How do I request and receive work from an independent contractor?

Whether you hired an independent contractor for a fixed-price project or you have an hourly contract, you should always communicate using our messaging system.

You can access the messaging system by clicking the envelope icon at the top right or "Chats" at the bottom right:

You can maintain constant communication with your independent contractors by texting, calling, or video calling them whenever you want. They can keep you updated regarding the job progress and attach files if needed.


Keeping the conversations within the platform guarantees that you are protected.
The conversations can also be used as evidence in case of a dispute.
