Yes, I have hired a Thumbtack pro. It was an awesome experience. I now have a new picket fence around my front property with a working gate. The pro was very timely, efficient, and the price was very fair. I did not haggle him to death for next to nothing like customers looking to hire me do. I respected his position a pro here to sell his business and I got a perfect product. Have had cold feet to get back on Thumbtack myself since it was always a lose-lose for me.

I agree. I expect 50% from my clients to cement a commitment. If the poster is serious enough to pay a small fee I dont think we would get so many flaky responses.   DWGA ... View more

As a service provider,  I rarely get any responses from the projects I bid on. And when I do I get haggled to death so my time and skill = $0. Making a living is not a hobby. I do like providing graphic needs to those who would never need agency time or rates by any stretch but I cannot support myself going probono and on top of it payout the TT fee. Its a lose lose. These job source sights have been evolving rapidly but not in our favor.  I have made some long term client relationships but for the most part its a money losing effort. As a consumer on this site I have found some great vendors and I do respect the numbers they ask for. I do not know how much of that they had to pay TT but  hope they made money because each instance was a total success for me. This shouldn't be complicated and unpredictable way to hire or make a living from. DWGA   ... View more
