  • In-app chat

    Day-to-day messages stay in JobZapp job chat with a written record. Exact address and phone unlock only at the right booking stage.

  • Emergency button

Follow My Job

Trusted contacts see start and stop

On each booking you can share the job with up to two trusted contacts. They get notified with job details when work starts and stops: check-ins, check-outs and the context of the shift, so someone you trust can follow along even if you are not home.

In-app chat

Day-to-day talk stays on the record

Access notes, ETAs and ordinary messages stay in JobZapp job chat, so both sides have a written trail. Exact address unlocks once you select the worker. Phone number unlocks shortly before the job. That staged privacy is the point: chat first, personal details only when the booking needs them.

GPS, vetting and paid ratings

The safety stack sits on top of checks and a clear paper trail from estimate to pay.

  • GPS-verified clock-in

    Workers clock in within about 1 km of your address. Restart after a break needs the same on-site check.

  • Vetting before regular invites

    Workers complete Your vetting steps (Docs Review, Interview, Briefing, Briefing quiz, References, and Vetting Ready) before regular invites. You still choose who to Book.

  • Ratings from real jobs

    Ratings only come from completed, paid bookings. Late cancels and no-shows earn cards.

FAQ

Trust questions

  • Can someone I trust follow the job?

    Yes. On each booking you can share the job with up to two trusted contacts. They get notified when work starts and stops, which is useful if you are not home when someone arrives, or if a worker wants someone following their shift.

  • Where do day-to-day messages go?

    In JobZapp job chat. Exact address unlocks once you have selected the worker. Phone number unlocks shortly before the job. Personal details are staged on purpose.

  • What happens in an emergency?

    From a live job, Emergency sends a WhatsApp and SMS to your trusted contacts with your message and location. Security notifies your contacts and JobZapp Support so the platform can act on the record.

  • How do you ensure workers are trustworthy?

    Every worker completes an identity check, credentials scan, interview, and reference verification before taking jobs. Only fully verified workers receive booking invites, earning client ratings with every completed task.

  • Is JobZapp AI-powered?

    Yes. JobZapp is an AI-powered job booking, matching and payment tool. Browse workers on WhatsApp and JobZapp: set job type, where and when, see a shortlist and post. Invited workers apply, you Book, a hold goes on your card, and you only pay after the work is done. JobBot answers common questions on this site, in the app and on WhatsApp. We also use AI for background work such as scanning credentials during Docs Review and matching approved skills. Interview and Briefing stay part of worker vetting.
