Creating a new order (in the app)

Note! If you use the web version of the service, see the instructions Creating a new order (web version)

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 "Payment methods" 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 "New order" button on the bottom right of the home page.

2. Select a service

Choose a suitable service from the list, in which you will also see the pricing.

3. Specify the timing for the order

You can set the timing for the order either by selecting the exact days and times (the minimum requirement is to select a start date) or by writing the desired timing freely in the 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 for the order duration, even if you are choosing more than one worker. 

4. 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 become visible only to the selected worker.

If the work can be done remotely, select the item "Remote work (visible to workers in all areas)". 

2. Enter a description and additional 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 will be displayed e.g. in the worker’s work certificate.

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 worker. In the additional information, you can also mention the schedule for selecting the worker. 

In addition, different platforms may have other mandatory or optional 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 (unless you previously chose remote work). If you don't want to change the order's default targeting, you can skip this step completely.

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

7. Choose a payment method

The payment methods page shows the user's selectable payment methods. Choose a payment method or 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 that all order information is displayed correctly. Then press "Publish" and confirm that you want to publish the order by entering your own PIN code or use biometric authentication. The order is now ready, great!

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