Chat with workers without sharing your mobile number

Updated

Every conversation with a worker lives in the app, next to their profile and the job. Send photos of the task, a location pin for the gate, a voice note from the cab, or a quick reply, and translate messages when English is not the worker’s first language.

How it works

  1. Start a chat

    Open a chat from an applicant, a worker profile or the directory.

  2. Send what the job needs

    Text, photos, your location, voice notes or one of your saved quick messages.

  3. Translate in one tap

    Translate a message when you and the worker do not share a first language.

  4. Hire from the conversation

    Ready to book them? Hire straight from the chat.

Message the whole crew at once

Use Broadcast Message to send one message to every worker on your crew, or only to those on site right now. Handy for weather calls, start-time changes and site access updates.

Workers also get an email when a new message arrives, so a note does not sit unread just because the app is closed.

Keep the record with the job

Keeping messages next to the job and the profile beats a dozen group chats. If there is ever a question about what was agreed, the conversation is in one place. For the pay side, see how to pay labourers.
