Workpost was founded with a simple goal in mind: connect people who need work done with people who can do the work!

Flipping through a directory and calling multiple contractors just to find the one or two that can actually do a job is an inefficient way to find help. Instead of that process, we hope that a simple post on Workpost.com will be able to accomplish more with less time spent searching and less aggravation. Make a post and let the contractors, freelancers and other potential work seekers contact you!

We don't believe going to a site and conducting a search should be the only way to be kept up to date on who is looking for work either. In 2008, there are many different ways people can connect. Future versions of Workpost should be less classifieds (in the traditional sense) and more... well, something better.

Launched in February, 2008, Workpost.com Version 1.0 is a clear demonstration of our core values: Keep it Free, Keep it Simple, Be Efficient, and Be Effective.

Keep it Free

We plan to keep our base functionality free for all users. In our own work lives, we find companies who charge high fees for leads, unreliable "prescreening" services, basic memberships or take percentages of bids and profits unnecessary and we don't use them. There are better ways to find work. We want to operate efficiently without skimming money from jobs or charging contractors and freelancers just because we passed a lead to them. As a business, we need to make money but we believe better business models exist that are still capable of turning a profit.

Keep it Simple

Let’s face it, not everyone is computer savvy. We want everyone who visits Workpost.com to have a good experience, including people who aren't computer experts. Far too often, users have to go through a complicated sign-up process and pages of confusing information to get something simple accomplished. At Workpost, all we ask is that our users sign up with a username and valid e-mail address. The process for posting work, searching and browsing should be easy for everyone, regardless of technical expertise.

Be Efficient

We've tried to make the site easy to navigate. There are many ways to accomplish the same thing as you search and browse through postings. Anywhere you see a search button, click and you’ll get results. We're also working to simplify our work categories to prevent overlap. We want users to be able to get information quickly and efficiently.

Be Effective

We hope that Workpost.com will help change the way people get things done for the better. As we develop the site, each change should improve the usefulness of the service.

Why Free Services?

Many visitors ask how we can offer a free service like Workpost. How can it make money? The short answer is that there are many ways to generate revenue and create value and the more people who are posting, searching and using Workpost, the more services we will be able to add in the future. For free.

If you like what you see, please help spread the word about us. Our company is new and we don’t have loads of marketing dollars to get noticed. If we do our job well, we hopefully won't need them. We’re trying to create something that will make everyone’s lives easier and we hope you find Workpost.com useful!
