How it works

From posted to paid in four steps

Built to feel effortless for the person hiring and fair for the person working.

  1. 1
    Post your job
    Describe the work, add photos and plans, set your price or ask for quotes.
  2. 2
    Get matched
    Nearby skilled workers apply. Compare their ratings, past work, and reliability.
  3. 3
    Track the work
    Follow along as the skilled worker checks in and documents the job with photos.
  4. 4
    Approve & pay
    Review the finished work and approve it — then e-Manual Labor handles payment and pays your skilled worker.
The e-Manual Labor job record: job posted, then each job photo with who added it and when, then the messages between customer and skilled worker.
The shared job record — every photo, message, and status change, in order.
For both sides

The e-Manual Labor message thread with a Spanish to English translation control above the conversation.
English & Spanish

Two languages, one conversation

A customer who speaks English and a skilled worker who speaks Spanish can run a whole job together — messages translate in the thread, and the entire app works in either language.

  • ✓ Translate any message, or turn on auto-translate for the thread
  • ✓ The whole app — posting, applying, documenting — in English or Spanish
  • ✓ No more losing a good worker to a language barrier
