Trust & verification
Better hiring decisions start with better signals.

Payment trust
Payment is handled through Yagankar. The employer pays securely, the talent is paid through a supported payout method, and the reference, receipt, and confirmation are recorded on the engagement — so both sides have a clear record.
Hiring for a posted opportunity
Feel confident before you hire
Receiving a proposal is the start of the conversation. Take time to check the candidate’s fit and agree on the work before paying.
How can I check whether a candidate can deliver?
Review relevant work samples, experience, and reviews where available. Message the candidate to ask how they would approach your assignment and clarify their availability. Profile badges and past work help you assess fit; they do not guarantee the result of your assignment.
What should we agree on before payment?
Confirm the deliverables, deadline, price, included revisions, and acceptance criteria — what the finished work must include. Keep this agreement, progress updates, and delivered files in Yagankar messages and the workspace so there is a shared record.
Is my payment held until I approve the work?
Check the payment terms on your hire screen. A project explicitly marked Protected project uses an accepted work agreement and holds funds until the delivery/release rules are met. Direct opportunity payments credit the talent’s wallet when paid; they are not held for approval. Services purchases have their own displayed protection terms. These flows do not claim legal escrow.
Can I start with a smaller piece of work?
You can agree on a smaller paid assignment and post it separately before committing to a larger project. Each fixed project is paid as a single payment; it does not have staged milestone payments. Agree on the smaller scope and price with the candidate first.
What if the work does not meet our agreement?
Explain the gap in the workspace and ask the talent to address it. If you need help, contact support with the opportunity link, agreed scope, relevant messages, and delivered work. Use Report an issue in the workspace or work agreement to request support review, including after leaving a review. Protected funds remain held during an issue raised before release. A dispute does not automatically refund a payment, and a refund is not guaranteed.
Safety & privacy
Candidate information is shared based on visibility settings, application status, and shortlist status. Sensitive opportunities can be invite-only or visible to verified talent only. This matters especially for Afghan talent, and for women-focused hiring.
