How Guru Works

At Guru, we aim to provide a secure, flexible and transparent platform for Employers and the Freelancers to connect, collaborate and get work done.

Sign Up

Create your Employer account to start getting work done.

1. Join Guru – Sign up and verify your details in a single step.
2. Post a Job – Share details of the job you need to get done and get Quotes from Freelancers within hours.
3. Search and Invite Freelancers – Find skilled Freelancers and invite them to send a Quote for your job.

Note:

• You can upgrade your job post to a Featured Job to attract more Quotes from top quality Freelancers and get up to 50% more Quotes.
• On Guru, signing up, posting a job, and searching for Freelancers is free. However, for every invoice you pay, we charge a nominal handling fee of 2.9%. We recommend you use eCheck or wire transfer to make payments to get a 3% cashback – effectively reducing your handling fee to zero.
