A few years ago, freelance exchanges in Ukraine were mainly focused on the market of the CIS countries. In recent years, resources have begun to emerge exclusively for "internal use". One of these is the first social platform for consumer freelancing “ChiqChaq”. We talked with a representative of the platform to find out what are the features of the service and whether it is possible to get real money with it.

- There are quite a few sites where employers and jobseekers can find each other. What is special about your exchange?

Yes, there are job search sites where companies advertise their vacancies and job seekers post resumes. There are platforms where works are posted - texts or design projects, and customers choose the right ones. Our main focus is on solving everyday issues - fixing the water supply system, repairing furniture, walking the dog ... We wanted to create a resource where people can easily and conveniently solve their problems - find contractors or customers who are ready to pay for the work. For Ukraine, this is a new freelance platform, but in Israel it has been working for a long time and brings results.

- I can't help but ask: why " ChiqChaq " ? What kind of word is that?

“Chick-chuck” is a slang word, it means “quickly, easily, at once”. It is often heard in Israel in a variety of situations, and now it is spreading beyond its borders. It seemed suitable to us, as it reflects the very idea of our platform - to find a job or a performer quickly and easily. A busy person gets extra time by entrusting his chores to others, and those who have free time can earn extra money.

- What categories of services can you order here?

As the name implies - “consumer freelance platform”, the main direction is consumer services. And in this sense, we are breaking stereotypes. After all, there was an opinion that freelancers are IT specialists. And we have an emphasis on freelancing to help people from various professional and social spheres solve everyday issues. Although there are IT specialists and copywriters on our exchange too. We are open to everyone. There are no restrictions. More than 200 types of services can be found on ChiqChaq, all of them are grouped into 12 categories. Here you can find construction work, repair of household appliances, and delivery; cleaning and care services. There are also event services, car maintenance, legal services, IT and media, coaching and tutoring, beauty, health and more.

“It turns out that everyone can become a ChiqChaq user. What do I need to do?

Among the applicants who responded, you choose the most suitable one, and he helps you in solving your problem.

If you want to be both a customer and a performer at the same time, then you do not need to register twice: there is a single profile for “Chik-chak” for both categories of users.

- What are the advantages of this exchange?

The main advantage of "ChiqChaq" is convenience and how much the resource makes life easier for users.

- And if the performer wants to receive more tasks and earn more money, can he somehow attract attention to himself? Does the platform provide such opportunities?

When freelancing at ChiqChaq becomes the main source of income for a person, he is looking for an opportunity to receive jobs as often as possible and earn more. In this case, it makes sense to become a paid subscriber - a Pro-performer, monthly replenish your account for a certain amount and enjoy a number of benefits from the service. This is an opportunity to receive assignments from customers directly, without a competition; recommendation of his services to customers from the service; you can post reviews of employers who are not listed on the exchange. A pro-performer will be able to take several tasks at the same time and pay 25% less for advertising on the exchange.
