 FAQs

General

  • Professionals (pros) are the job seekers.

  • Organizations (orgs) are the ones hiring – whether they represent an individual, a company, or a franchise. An organization as a company or franchise may encompass one or several fields within it, and typically identifies as being a part of an industry.

  • No worries, we got you covered. You can register as a pro and an org in the same app. All you need to do is create another profile by clicking the group of people button on the top right.

  • You can get gigs, contracts, and permanent jobs with AmbiMi. We have jobs in administration, accounting, customer service, hospitality, manufacturing, warehousing, restoration, construction, landscaping, and janitorial.

  • A job that is between 2 hours and 2 working days.

  • A job that is longer than 2 working days and within a 31-day period.

  • Just as it sounds, a perfect fit! A perfect match is a pro that matches all the requirements in a job posting.

  • Not everything in life is perfect, and sometimes a partial match is just as good. A partial match is a pro that matches some but not all the requirements in a job posting.

  • A pro gets a verified skill when they dedicate eight hours to performing the skill through jobs in AmbiMi. Verified skills lead to perfect matches.

  • A pro chooses an unverified skill if they used it outside of AmbiMi or want to develop that skill. Unverified skills lead to partial matches.

  • These are how we track your hours. They are used to identify when pros are on-site, so you don't need to worry about clocking in or clocking out.

  • It will turn green when the pro is on-site or red when they are off-site. If it's yellow, the pros are not sharing their location, or their location was lost. So, make sure location sharing is always on.

  • Hard work pays off! Organizations have the option to tip professionals after the job.

  • Organizations have the option to give a bonus to pros after the job.
