Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about BidForHire.
How long does my listing stay up?
Forever. You pay once and your profile stays on the leaderboard indefinitely.
What happens if someone outbids me?
Your profile drops in rank but stays active. You're never removed — only re-ordered.
Can I update my profile after listing?
Not yet — profile editing isn't available. Submit again with updated info to create a new listing.
Is my email or phone visible to everyone?
No. Your contact info is hidden from all public pages and API responses. Only a recruiter who pays $5 can see it.
What emails count as "work emails" for recruiters?
Any email domain that isn't a free personal provider (Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook, Hotmail, iCloud, etc.). Your company domain is fine.
What does the recruiter's $5 unlock give them?
Your email and phone number (if provided). They get permanent access to this info in their dashboard.
Is there a subscription or monthly fee?
No. Candidates pay once to list. Recruiters pay per unlock. No recurring fees.
Can I get a refund?
All sales are final since listings go live instantly. Contact us if you experience a technical error.
What categories are available?
Engineering, Design, Marketing, Sales, and Ops.
