TaskRabbit and it currently operates in more than 70 cities in six different countries, connecting users who don't want to assemble furniture or do other DIY tasks with qualified professionals (called "Taskers" in the app) who do it for them.
It is an application that independent contractors who have passed identity checks use as a means of providing their services
Founded in 2008 in the United States, the company was acquired in 2017 by IKEA. Already present in Great Britain and Canada, the platform was established in France in June 2019. It has since continued its expansion on the European market with Germany in November 2019 and Spain since January 2020.
A pioneer in the economy of "odd jobs", TaskRabbit is a platform for connecting individuals and professionals who provide home services. The latter are paid by the hour, with the exception of missions carried out thanks to the partnership concluded with IKEA which work on a flat-rate basis.
Originally, the services offered on the site concerned only the tasks of daily life such as small DIY, cleaning, moving assistance, etc. The start-up has grown today and now puts forward a little more original service. You can offer your services as a personal assistant, secretary or installer of decorations for Christmas or Halloween.
In addition to being easy to use, TaskRabbit allows you to:
All you need to do is complete an online form, accessible on the TaskRabbit website or their application.
You will need to fill in:
your contact details
your availability
your geographic area
the SIREN number of your micro-enterprise (this appears on the document sent to you by URSSAF)
an extract from your criminal record
At the same time, an online verification of your identity will be carried out. All you need to do is take a photo of your identity card or passport as well as a selfie that will confirm the correct correspondence between this official document and you. You will finally be asked to specify your prices.
Once your file has been sent, the TaskRabbit team will take care of validating your profile or not. If you meet all the conditions, you will receive a confirmation email within a few days
For more convenience in your use of the platform, we recommend that you download the TaskRabbit application directly to your smartphone. You will need to download it to your phone in order to accept assignments and converse with your clients. It will also allow you to add or modify your information (profile, prices and availability) more quickly.
Has your file been accepted? Congratulations! All you have to do is complete your profile describing your skills and experiences. Then you will have to wait for a customer to contact you.
Once the conversation has started, validate the content of the mission, perform the service and then send your invoice. In return, the customer has the opportunity to rate you (rating and comment). The higher your rating, the more people will trust your work.
The application is accessible to everyone, even to the most novices in new technologies. It offers a wide range of services (DIY, moving, electrical work, plumbing but also event staff and much more) and is active in developing new categories of service.
The partnership between TaskRabbit and IKEA also represents a real opportunity for taskers. Indeed, the Swedish giant now offers home assembly of furniture purchased in stores or online, through TaskRabbit. The mission potential is therefore greater and each task created through IKEA represents on average a remuneration of $100.
TaskRabbit gives you an exciting opportunity to grow your business quickly, without worrying about communication and prospecting. You are free to set your prices and organize your schedule as you wish. TaskRabbit allows you to stay in control of your business. Clearly, you can choose to work only evenings or weekends to build up additional income.
Finally, you will save time because the platform takes care of customer service, payments and can even support you in the management of possible disputes thanks to its dedicated teams. Hyperlink InfoSystem can assist you with an app similar to TaskRabbit. The development cost of such app is between $10,000 to $15,000.
