When you post a job on SkillScoop, you might wonder: should I sit back and wait for quotes, or reach out to a specialist directly? Both approaches have their perks — here’s how to choose what works best for your project.
Option 1: Wait for quotes
Posting a job means you tell us what you need done — a quick task, a big project, or anything in between. Once your job is live, specialists can see it and send you quotes.
Waiting for quotes is best when you:
- Want to hear from a range of specialists.
- Open to comparing skill sets, experience, and prices
- Prefer to see multiple options before making a decision
Think of it like casting a wide net — you might discover someone perfect you didn’t know about.
Option 2: Request a quote
After your job is posted, you can head over to the Find a Specialist page and browse through our list of experts. See someone who looks like the perfect fit? You can request a quote — which means inviting that specialist to send you a tailored quote just for your job.
Requesting a quote works best when you:
- Found someone with the right skills and experience.
- Want to speed things up by reaching out directly.
- Have worked with them before or trust their expertise.
Important: You always need to post your job first. Once it’s live, you can request quotes from any specialists you like.
