What is the difference between a job post and a job request?

On Nannuka, sending a request and posting a job ad are two distinct ways to reach care professionals, each suited to different approaches in finding the right match.

Sending a Request

When you send a job request, you are reaching out directly to a specific professional whose profile you have reviewed and selected based on criteria that matter to you  such as verified profile, experience, availability, services offered, and more. This method gives you a targeted proposal for collaboration with someone you already know fits your needs.

Posting a Job Ad

A job ad works differently: it is a general announcement of your care need that is shared with many professionals who meet the specialization criteria (e.g., babysitter, house cleaner, caregiver). This gives you a wider set of responses from professionals who are interested in the position you posted.

Quick summary:

• A request is a personal, targeted message to one professional you’ve chosen.

• A job ad is a broad posting that allows multiple professionals to respond.

This gives you flexibility to either reach out to one ideal professional directly (request) or open up the opportunity to many suitable candidates (job ad).
