GOOD QUESTIONS. STRAIGHT ANSWERS.
Before you get started.
What it costs, who can join and how work happens through Open Crew.
What is Open Crew?+
Open Crew is the FREE trades labor network inside PickYourPro.ai. It connects individual tradespeople, companies and complete crews around skills, location and availability. Workers can look for paid opportunities, while companies can find help or share openings in their own crew’s schedule.
Is Open Crew really free for workers and companies?+
Yes. Open Crew is completely FREE for workers and companies to use. There is no Open Crew subscription or fee to connect. Workers and companies agree on compensation for the work itself. The separate PickYourPro client-project marketplace has its own provider unlock fee; that fee does not apply to Open Crew labor connections.
How do I find local trade jobs or extra construction work?+
Create a worker account, add your trade skills and experience, and set your location and availability. In your Open Crew dashboard, review work that fits your preferences, discuss the details and respond to opportunities. Local results depend on participating companies and current openings; creating a profile does not guarantee a job.
Can I join without owning a company?+
Yes. You can join as an individual worker. You do not need a business to create a worker profile, share your skills or look for work. Choose the worker signup option to get started.
Can contractors find a whole crew instead of one worker?+
Yes. Companies can look for individual tradespeople or available company crews. Crew profiles can describe the team’s trades, equipment and availability. Hiring an individual and subcontracting with a company are separate arrangements, so confirm the scope, dates and compensation before accepting.
Can I look for short-term work and longer-term opportunities?+
Yes. Open Crew supports availability for short assignments, project work and longer-term opportunities. Share the days you can work and the type of work you want. Companies describe their needs and proposed compensation so both sides can decide whether an opportunity fits.
How does payment for the work happen?+
The worker or crew and the hiring company agree on pay and work terms. Open Crew helps with connections and assignments; it does not currently process payroll or hold wages in escrow. Confirm the rate, payment timing, travel costs and any other expenses with the hiring company before starting.
Are skills and credentials verified?+
Profiles can include skills, credentials, work photos and feedback. Self-reported experience is different from a reviewed credential or feedback on completed work. Check the evidence and its status, and confirm any required licenses, qualifications and site requirements directly before hiring.
Can I use Open Crew for a project I won on PickYourPro?+
Yes. Providers can start a labor request from an awarded PickYourPro project and review the information they choose to share. Private client contact details stay separate from the public labor request. You can also use Open Crew for work that did not originate on PickYourPro.
