Dual approval, start to finish
BridgeLink is not Fiverr, Upwork, Angi, HomeAdvisor or Thumbtack. There is no open bidding, no proposal flooding, and no unsolicited contact.
- 1
You create a request
Create a job posting by providing a title, describing your need, outlining your desired outcome, and selecting whether you need local or remote assistance. Optional details such as budget, timeline, and attachments can be added to help experts better understand your project.
- 2
BridgeLink finds the right specialties
Your wording is mapped to specialty tags — you never have to know the tags exist — and qualified experts are identified.
- 3
Matched experts are notified
Each matched expert sees the opportunity in their inbox and answers Interested or Not Interested. Nothing is broadcast publicly.
- 4
You see only interested experts
Profile, experience, verification level, availability, portfolio highlights and response rate — for the people who actually raised a hand.
- 5
You confirm the specialist you want
Choose the one specialist you want to work with and confirm the connection.
- 6
Messaging unlocks
Both sides have now said yes — the specialist accepted, you confirmed — so a private conversation opens. Mutual approval is enforced by the platform, not by etiquette.
