Frequently asked questions
Does nearOus take commission for worker bookings today?
No. The current phase is positioned as a 0% commission environment where the agreed task price goes directly between the poster and the worker.
What changes when someone switches to worker mode?
The person is prompted to complete a more professional setup with skills, title, locality, and pricing details before being surfaced in discovery.
How is chat routing handled between users and workers?
Worker-facing conversations can be prioritized so opportunities reach them quickly, while regular community connections can stay more moderated.
Why keep community, work, and expert discovery in one product?
Because real neighborhood trust often starts with local visibility. The product becomes more useful when people can talk, hire, and earn without jumping across separate apps.
