Congratulations! We are excited that you have decided to make your first offer. Go ahead and select the job from the home screen that you’d like to make an offer and select “Make Offer”.

Only make offers on jobs that you can complete with high quality.

When you arrive to the job location, the app will automatically update the status of the job to “Arrived”.

Q: How do I notify the app that I have completed the job?

Once you finish the job, you’ll have the option within your app to “Complete” the job and then you’ll receive an acknowledgement screen in order to have the client sign for the job completion where they will acknowledge that the job has been completed to their specifications. 

Q: Why do I rate my client?

At LinkIO we believe that holding everyone accountable for their time on the app is instrumental to maintaining a strong network of clients and providers. We ask providers to rate the clients as well in an attempt to keep quality fair and standard across the app.

Q: Why am I receiving offers from 3 different provider levels?

LinkIO shows you the best offer within each provider level (Basic, Plus, and Pro). There may be a circled number on each provider level, which means more than one offer has been submitted within that provider level.

Q: What do the different Provider levels mean?

LinkIO has three different provider levels: Basic, Plus and Pro. Basic providers have ratings that are < 4.0 and have to submit offers that are at least 20% less than Pro providers. Plus providers have their ratings between 4.0 and 4.5 and have to submit offers that are 10% less than Pro providers. Pro providers have ratings that are > 4.5 and can submit offers of any value. ***All providers start at the Plus provider level until they have successfully completed 5 jobs. At this point the value of the ratings will determine their provider level. ***
