How it works

From application to your first paid brief.

  1. Apply

    Share your portfolio, experience and craft.

  2. Skills tests

    Complete assessments for your craft.

  3. Real-world simulation

    Deliver a live-style brief, just like a real client project.

  4. Join the waitlist

    Successful applicants join our vetted talent waitlist.

  5. Get activated

    When there’s room in your craft, we activate your account.

  6. Opt in to briefs

    Receive briefs on your phone or computer and accept the ones you want.

  7. Deliver and get paid

    Deliver to the agreed turnaround, pass quality review, and earn Taskpoints paid out monthly.

Taskpoints: simple, transparent earnings.

  • Each brief is worth Taskpoints, based on its size.
  • Each Taskpoint is worth cash, for example GHS 10, paid monthly in your local currency.
  • Your level (junior, mid or senior) sets that value. Most start at mid-level.
  • Points count once our art director approves your work.

Talent FAQ.

  • Which countries do you hire from?

    Right now we hire creatives based in Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, South Africa, Zambia or Botswana. We pay through Paystack and Wise, so we hire wherever they can pay you in your local currency. As they reach more countries, so will we.

  • How long will I be on the waitlist?

    It depends on demand in your craft. We activate creatives as client demand grows.

  • How do I get paid, and when?

    Monthly, in your local currency. Every approved brief earns Taskpoints, and each Taskpoint has a cash value set by your level (for example GHS 10). At the end of the month, your total is paid out.

  • What if the client isn’t happy with my work?

    You’re paid on approval from our creative or art directors, not the client. They review your work against the brief before it goes out. On some briefs, their sign-off can depend on the client approving too.

  • Can I choose which briefs I take?

    Yes. You opt in to the briefs you want, one at a time.

  • What happens if my work needs revisions?

    You’ll revise until our art director signs it off. Fewer revisions keep your quality high and bring you more briefs.
