Skilld.

How it works

A client picks a person, sends one request, and sees the total first. Creators do not bid.

No bidding. No proposals. Just direct connections.

For clients

  • Browse by category, neighbourhood, price and a date.
  • Pick an open time, a place and a short brief, then pay a 30% deposit or the full amount.
  • Pay the creator their full rate. Skilld adds a 5% service charge for you, the client.

For creators

  • Set one hourly rate in Canadian dollars.
  • Accept or decline each request. Message on that booking.
  • The Verified tag appears only after a booking is completed and marked paid.

The 5% service charge

If your rate is $40 and the job is 3 hours, you receive $120. The client pays $126. The extra $6 is the service charge. They can hold 30% now or pay the whole total. With Stripe test keys, that happens on Stripe Checkout. Without keys, a demo button records the same status and charges nothing. A founder can still record the rest by hand.

Verified

You cannot turn Verified on yourself. It appears after at least one booking is completed and marked paid. Rising Talent is a note you add, such as your program at Concordia.
