Is the quick job post really free?
Yes. Quick posts are free. Only full job posts after your first one carry a fee.
For employers
A free quick job post for when you just need a hand
Updated
Not every job needs a full listing. A quick post is a short message, up to 650 characters, with an optional photo and your city. It appears in the feed workers scroll in the Yakka Labour app, and it costs nothing.
How it works
-
Choose “Quick job post”
From “How do you want to hire?”, pick the quick option instead of the full job form.
-
Write what you need
Describe the job in up to 650 characters: what, where, when and the rate if you have one.
-
Add a photo and your city
A photo of the site or the task helps workers judge the job. Pick the city so workers know where it is.
-
Post and reply
The post appears in the workers’ feed. Workers can contact you, and you can chat with them in the app.
Quick post or full job post?
Use a quick post for one-off help, a short task or to test interest. Use a full job post when you want structured applications, a set rate, schedule and required tickets, and push notifications to workers with that skill.
For a one-day job, read how to hire a labourer for a day first so you know what to offer.
Keep it current
You can edit a quick post, archive it once the job is filled, or delete it. Keeping old posts off the feed means workers only contact you about work that is still available.
FAQ
How long can a quick post be?
Up to 650 characters, plus one optional photo and your city.
Can I edit or remove a quick post?
Yes. You can edit it, archive it when the job is filled, or delete it.
