The quickest way to get great results on SkillScoop
The quickest way to get great results on SkillScoop is by writing a clear, helpful job post. When you explain exactly what you need, specialists can instantly tell if they’re the right fit — and send quotes that match your expectations.
Here’s how to make your job stand out and attract the right people:
✅ Start with a clear, specific title
The job title is the first thing specialists see, so make it count. A vague title like “Help needed” won’t get much attention. Instead, go with something specific, like:
- “Logo design for a local food truck”
- “Lawn mowing and edging for small backyard”
Think of it as your job’s headline — make it clear, not clever.
✏️ Be clear about what you need
Give specialists enough detail to understand the job. Start with:
- What needs to be done?
- What kind of skills or experience are you looking for?
- Are there specific tools, platforms, or materials involved?
You don’t need to over explain — just aim to be specific.
Instead of: Need help with a website
Try: Looking for someone to redesign my small business website. It’s built on WordPress, and I’d like a modern, mobile-friendly design with 4–5 pages.
📌 Include any must-haves
If there’s anything non-negotiable, be upfront about it. That could include:
- A specific deadline
- A particular qualification or certification
- Experience with certain tools or platforms
The more upfront you are, the better your matches will be.
💰 Set a fair budget
Every job post needs a budget — and it should be a fair number. Even if it’s just your best guess, it helps specialists know what you’re expecting.
Aim for a fair, realistic amount based on:
- The time and effort involved
- The skills and experience required
- Any tools or materials they’ll need to provide
Not sure what’s fair? Do your best to estimate. You’re not locked in, but your budget gives specialists a solid starting point. A fair price shows you’re serious — and helps attract serious professionals.
The takeaway?
A strong job post gets strong results. Be clear, be specific, and always include a fair budget. You’ll save time, attract the right people, and get quotes that actually make sense.
