Signing Up and Getting Started

Signing up for Contra is your first step towards accessing a diverse pool of contractors and streamlining your hiring process. Here's what you need to know to get started:

  1. Setting Up Your Profile: The process of setting up your profile is quick and straightforward. Simply fill in your basic company details, such as name, description, and location, and verify your email. Once completed, you're all set to start utilizing Contra's features.

  2. Initial Actions After Sign-Up: Once you've signed up, it's time to take action. Begin by filling in your profile details, then explore the platform's functionalities. You can post public or private jobs for free, browse through contractors to find the perfect talent for your project, and invite your teammates to collaborate seamlessly.

  3. Job Status: Keep an eye on your job posts; if they are pending, it means our team is reviewing them to ensure completeness. Our team will reach out via email if any edits are required before your job post goes live. If no action is required, we'll send you an email automatically to let you know your job is live.

  4. Adding a Payment Method: We require that you add a billing method so that you’ll be ready to work with contractors as soon as you’re ready to kick off a project. You won’t be charged to post a job—that’s free.
