Difference between a gig and a job

Difference between a gig and a job

A gig is a pre-defined task that has a specific agreed outcome.

On the gigexchange, it if free to list a gig. You can either set a fixed price, which is agreed to by the gig worker. Or allow the gig to be negotiated. In this case both parties negotiate (through our real-time chat portal) then update and agree to the scope of works and price. The money is then released by the gig lister and held independently through our leading global Payment provider Stripe escrow account. Once the work is complete, you (the gig lister) authorise the release of the money to the gig worker.

A job is a simple paid advertisement listing the general requirements and skills expected of a job hunter ie permanent or fix-term contract on an hourly rate. On the gigexchange, the job lister pays a small upfront fee to list the job advert (in the jobs section). We allow job listers to then review job applicants CVs and profiles to determine which candidate is most suitable for the role.
