How it works
Ilandgigs was developed to help persons and companies find the best talent in the Caribbean entertainment industry, quickly and easily. Here's what you can do on the platform:
- Post gigs for service providers to bid on
- Search service providers to find well-rated providers in the region
- Manage your event or entertainment project
- Ensuring safe payments for completed work
Getting started - For Persons Hiring Talent
- If looking for a service provider, when signing up to the Ilandgigs platform, you must select "I want to hire".
- You would then select a subscription and post the gig you need done.
- The gig will be approved by our team and you will then receive bids or quotations for the gig.
- You can then review the submissions received and select the one that best meets your requirements and budget.
Getting started - For Service Providers
- If you are a provider, when signing up to the Ilandgigs platform, you must select "I want to work".
Note: You must set up two accounts if you want to be both a provider and hire persons for gigs - Select a subscription and search posted gigs to find opportunities that match your skills and experience.
- For best results, complete your profile to leverage our skill matching AI, and be sure to add your portfolio.
- If interested in a gig, submit a quotation or bid for the gig.
- The hiring person or company will then review all bids and choose the best match for their gig.
Managing projects
Our platform allows users to create milestones for each gig or project. The milestone represents a stage of the project or timeframe that is agreed upon by the project owner and professional.
When a hirer accepts a bid, the service provider is informed and the both parties will agree on a method of payment and the required milestones for the gig. These milestones allow providers to be paid at agreed upon stages of the gig in a timely fashion while providing some security to hiring persons that the work paid for will be delivered.
We advise that gigs be managed using the platform in order for our team to provide support in any payment disputes.
