How do you ensure your task gets picked up quickly?

Daily household tasks are posted on Helprr. From an easy task like hanging a lamp to a technical task like repairing a leak in a jacuzzi. It's of course logical that an easy task gets picked up faster than a difficult one. In this blog, we give you some tips so your task gets picked up faster by handymen in your neighborhood.

Fill in your account as completely as possible

The first tip is to make sure as a user that you share a lot of relevant information on your account to make it as complete as possible. Think of adding a clear profile photo, handy skills, or other useful information. This way, other users immediately get a complete picture of you as a person and handyman. This helps both with picking up a task by you or getting a task picked up by you!

Note: Your last name and your specific address are not part of the account information that's shown on the platform. Our payment provider needs this information so you can use all features.

Describe your task and situation clearly

Before a handy handyman in your neighborhood can come solve a task, this handyman must first understand well what the situation and status of the task exactly is. You can easily add this in the task description. Add here, for example, what the task involves, what budget you're using, and what you think the problem is.

If you don't exactly know what price you should use for your task? Then put this in the description, so you can negotiate with the handyman who picks up your task via the chat about a fair price.

Upload clear photos

An old Dutch saying goes that a picture says more than a thousand words and this certainly applies to tasks on Helprr. By uploading a photo with your task, a handy neighbor can immediately assess how the situation is and thereby better assess and pick up a task. We also notice that tasks with photos are solved faster than tasks without photos.

Note: Make sure the photo you upload is sharp and clear, so other users get a clear picture of your task.

Provide a realistic budget

As described earlier, you can give each task you post on Helprr its own budget. However, we see that some tasks are posted for unrealistic prices. This can cause that task to be picked up less quickly than other tasks. To ensure your task doesn't stay on the list for too long, you can take your budget a bit more generously, after which you can always negotiate in the chat about the final price.
