FAQ
Office temp questions
-
Is this permanent placement?
No. JobZapp is for on-demand shifts and short cover, not recruitment agency placements.
-
Can I book the same temp for a full week?
Yes. Post the days you need covered and confirm the same worker across the run so there is no re-briefing.

Can I book on WhatsApp?
Yes. You can set up your job, browse local workers and receive applications directly in WhatsApp. Once you select a worker, simply use the secure JobZapp link in your chat to authorize the card hold and finalize your booking.

How far ahead should I book?
Lead time is at least 6 hours by day, or 12 hours at night. You must Book a pending job at least 3 hours before start, or it auto-cancels with no charge.

You will see a clear upfront estimate covering the worker's rate, booking fee, and travel. We only place a temporary hold on your card when you book, and you are charged after the job is completed.

Are workers vetted?
Yes. Every worker must complete a vetting process, including document verification, an interview, and reference checks before receiving regular job invites. Each skill is individually reviewed, so workers are only matched with jobs they are fully approved for.
