FAQs
-
Can I post permanent or long term jobs?AUKAZI is meant to help you find quick help when you need it the most. Jobs that have the highest fill rate on the platform are short-term and day jobs. Workers may commit to longer term jobs once they have had the chance to try your environment! We suggest you always start with short-term jobs (ideally daily) and if you like a worker, you can approach them for a longer-term job. You can push a job to them directly (and only them) through the platform! The short-term daily jobs allows both sides to try before committing. Need help with other full-time jobs? Reach out to us for more information.
