Creating a new order (web version)

Note! If you use the WorkPilots app, see the instructions Creating a new order (in the app)

Before you start creating a new order

Please make sure that you have a payment method set in the service, i.e. add your payment card on the "Payments & reports" page or buy PilotPoints with billing. (With the exception of platforms with no fees).

Get to know the Payment methods

1.Start creating a new order

Press the button "New order" on the front page. The first time, the service offers the option to view tips for creating an order, which you can also skip if you want. 

2. Enter the mandatory information for the order

It is always mandatory to enter a short description for the order, which serves as the title of the order and which will be displayed e.g. in the worker’s work certificate. In addition, you must select a category for the order, which also determines the price of the work. 

In addition, different platforms may have other mandatory fields that appear in this same section on the order form. 

3. Enter additional information for the order

We always recommend writing a more detailed description of what the work is about in the additional information field of the order. In the field, you can write in more detail e.g. about tasks, equipment, or if the task requires an adult. In the additional information, you can also mention the schedule for selecting the worker.

Different platforms may also have other voluntary additional fields, which appear in this same section on the order form.

4. Target the order if necessary

By default, orders are visible to all workers in the surrounding area who are interested in that particular task category. If you don't want to change the targeting of the order, you can skip this step completely.

However, if you want to change the target group of the order, you can assign the order to an individual worker or a group or choose remote work. See detailed instructions Targeting order. 

5. Specify the location for the order

The default location of the order is the same as the saved location of the user's profile. If you don't want to change the location, you can skip this step completely. 

You can also specify the location separately for each order. When the order is published, only the postal code and city are visible to the workers / applicants. The exact address will only be visible to the selected worker.

6. Specify the timing for the order

You can set the timing for the order either by choosing the exact days and times (the minimum requirement is to choose a start date) or by writing the desired timing freely in the adjacent text field. 

In addition, you must always enter the duration for the order in hours/days/months/units, depending on the category of the task. Note! Always enter the workload of one worker in the order duration, even if you are choosing more than one worker. 

7. Choose a payment method

The payment page shows the user's selectable payment methods. Choose a payment method and go to the next page. 

If you don't have any payment method visible, you can add a payment card by pressing "Add payment card". 

8. Publish the order

Check on the Summary page that all order information is displayed correctly. Then press "Publish" and confirm that you want to publish the order. The order is ready, great!

After publishing the order, wait until you receive applicants and then choose the most suitable one/s for the position.
