Start with one simple choice.
You can look around first, post a local help request, or join the worker lane. RapidHireMe shows the next step, keeps private details protected, and keeps money movement locked until approved payment activation.
Users who feel unsure should choose Browse first. That path shows examples and rules without creating an account, submitting a request, or starting payment.
Look around without creating an account.
Guest browse mode is the showroom. Visitors can see how requests, fees, examples, worker access, and safety rules work before they choose a role.
What guests can and cannot do
Guests can: browse public Marketplace structure, view safe listing summaries, explore example requests, review PayPal/Venmo fee estimates, and learn the worker/job-poster path.
Guests cannot: respond to work, message users, see private contact details, view exact addresses, post a live request, start payment, or claim worker availability.
A simple path first, then the full local-work system.
RapidHireMe should feel easy at the top and powerful underneath. Visitors choose one plain path, then see how matching, review, safe contact, payment preview, and follow-through work together.
Browse a curated local-work board before you submit.
Start broad, then drill down. The Marketplace should feel polished, simple, and useful even before a visitor signs up.
Create one clear request so workers can price it correctly.
The builder asks what, where, when, and what payment should cover. It helps visitors understand the service before they submit anything.
Live approved requests will appear after RapidHireMe review.
This section becomes powerful once approved requests exist. Until then, the curated example board above keeps guests oriented without making the portal feel empty.
No approved public Marketplace requests are posted yet.
RapidHireMe reviews requests before making them publicly visible. Guests should only see safe summaries: work category, general city/area, schedule window, payout range, and role-unlock buttons. Exact addresses, phone numbers, emails, direct messages, applications, and payment actions stay locked until sign-in, role selection, and approved workflow gates.
Example: warehouse cleanup help. Hidden until role unlock: exact address, direct contact, messaging, response action, payment setup, and worker assignment.
Job poster pays the worker payout plus RapidHireMe fees.
For Marketplace jobs handled through RapidHireMe payment review, the job poster pays the agreed worker payout plus a 10% RapidHireMe Marketplace escrow handling fee. Posting/review and estimated PayPal/Venmo processor costs are shown separately as estimate line items.

Requests and worker profiles are open now.
Marketplace portal is open for requests and worker signups. Job posters and workers can use the Marketplace portal now. PayPal/Venmo checkout, escrow funding, payout release, disputes, refunds, EIN verification automation, worker verification badges, and posting-fee collection remain production-controlled until payment approval is activated. Workers should not pay to apply.
