When you need help with a task which you may be unskilled in or unqualified for, the chances are, you will look for someone who is. Examples of such skilled individuals may include electricians, carpenters and so on. But what if you couldn’t find a tradesman or tradeswoman to complete your specific task? Or perhaps, you want the task to be completed sooner rather than later. For instance, you want to repaint a spare bedroom before your extended family comes to stay. You call a few painting companies and they are booked out for the foreseeable future. So now, what do you do?
Instead of having to make the time to paint it yourself or leaving it unfinished until a later date, you might want to consider hiring a home task helper from taskm8. Why hire a home task helper you may ask? Here are 5 benefits of hiring a home task helper.
1) Versatile
Whether you are looking to have a spare bedroom painted or have your whole garden weeding, a home task helper is quite versatile, covering a broad range of challenging tasks. From general home tasks including cleaning, assembling flat pack furniture and dog walking to companionship needs including meal preparation, grocery shopping and charity support, which includes door-to-door fundraising, bucket collections, event planning and shop assistance. These are only a few examples of what taskm8 can help with.
2) Reliable
When hiring someone for a task, you will want them to be reliable and complete the task thoroughly and effectively. Hiring someone who seems untrustworthy or sketchy can mean your task could be carried out as a ‘quick fix’ and this can lead to problems further down the line. With taskm8, people offering their skills are known as mates or m8’s. All m8’s must have the necessary skills and physical ability to complete the task in an acceptable manner. When posting a task, taskers can request a DNS registered m8 if necessary. Once you select a m8, arrangements can be made and a task contract is created between you and your specialist m8.
3) Convenient
When hiring a tradesman or tradeswoman, you usually have to work around the dates and times when they are available to call to your home, this is not convenient for those with a busy lifestyle. As a result, home projects are often left on the back burner or even forgotten. With taskm8, we understand life can be busy and hectic at times, and outsourced tasks should be completed at a time that is convenient to you. Simply, post your task and select an expiry date of your choice for your selected m8 to complete the task by. Outsourcing your home tasks has never been so easy!
4) Easy-To-Use
Speaking of making things easier, our online platform is also easy to use from the comfort of your home. When posting a task, you will need to give it a title, a brief description on what needs to be completed, add the location, attach a photograph of the task and suggest an expiry date. Next, you will choose a reasonable price that you are willing to pay for the completion of the task, then the task is ready to post.
You will be able to review a list of m8’s who are interested in completing your task. You can view their profiles, location and rating as well as reviews and comments from previous users to help you choose the right m8. Once you have selected a m8, contact details will be exchanged to arrange further arrangements. We designed our online platform to make it simple for outsourcing tasks, you will also have access to a clear and easy-to-navigate dashboard, here you will be able to review your posted tasks as well as the status of the task’s completion. For posting and reviewing tasks on the go, the taskm8 mobile app is available through the App Store or Google Play.
5) Cost-Effective
Once the task is posted, the task fee is transferred from the tasker’s bank account to a secure e-wallet. Funds are held in the tasker’s e-wallet until their m8 has completed the task and the tasker has given us approval to release the payment.
It’s important to note, taskm8 is not a bidding platform. The task must be completed at the posted amount and this price is non-negotiable. This ensures that the task is completed within the tasker’s budget. It is up to the m8 whether they accept the offer or not, and it is up to the tasker to increase the price if necessary. Additional costs or expenses agreed outside of the task contract, should be treated as a separate transaction and settled independently.
Additionally, the price of hiring a tradesman or tradeswoman can be expensive. Instead, taskm8 is a budget-friendly and cost-effective option as the price is agreed by both the tasker and the m8. For more information on our task fees, please read our service fees page.
