If your location, certifications and experience match the requirements of a job, you will be sent an invite via SMS text message for those jobs. Below is how you can accept those invites:
YellowBird provides Pros with job invites via SMS/TXT to the phone number listed in your Pro Dashboard. It is extremely important to make sure your phone number is up-to-date and able to receive messages.
Once you have received a job invite via text message, you will find a clickable link within the message. This will direct you to your YellowBird Dashboard. If you are not already signed in, you will have to do so prior to seeing the invitation.
The job invitation link includes a job description, payment information, necessary personal protective equipment (PPE) if required, location and other important details. You will also have the ability to select the start date that works for you for this job.
After reviewing the job invite, you can either Accept or Decline. Please be sure to thoroughly read all information provided in the job invite to assure you can meet all needs prior to accepting.
If you are unable to accept a job, you can decline the job and provide the YellowBird team with feedback to better help us understand why you are unable to accept the job. Being a YellowBird Pro, means that there is zero commitment required, so there is never any consequence in declining a job.
Standby List
With the Standby List, when a Pro receives a job invitation but isn’t the first to accept, they can opt-in to the Standby List. This new feature means more chances to land your ideal jobs and maximize your earning potential with YellowBird.
Here’s how it works:
- Open the Job Invite from the Job Invite Text.
- Review the Job details to ensure you are able to commit to this job (availability, specific certifications, experience level).
- If you are unable, please select Decline.
- If you are able and available to work this job, please select Accept.
If this job has been accepted by another YellowBird Pro while you were reviewing the information, you will see this pop-up text box:
Then, the page will update to show you the Job Invite again with the new ability to Join the Standby List. Fill out the details of the job as you would any job invite, and select Join Standby List.
With the Standby List, if the initial YellowBird Pro who accepted the job is unable to complete it, the Customer Success team will reach out to the next person on the Standby List to see if they are still available and interested to complete the job.
