Guide for job seekers

From profile to hire — and why it's free for you.

How it works in 30 seconds

For job seekers, QBuild is free: you fill out a profile, apply to jobs, and optionally add a video resume and a paid trial task. Paid jobs (like a Trial) earn you 2% AEV cashback. No fee to unlock contacts.

  1. 1

    Fill out your profile

    Minimum: your job title, a short summary, and 2+ skills — that gets you into recommendations and employer search. Want more trust? Request the ✓ Verified badge in your profile (a link to LinkedIn/portfolio/certificates — we review within 1–2 business days). Your public profile is /build/u/….

  2. 2

    Find jobs

    The Jobs section has filters by city, skill, and salary. For job seekers, everything is free: no fee to apply, no premium paywall on contacts.

  3. 3

    Apply

    The “Quick apply” button lets you apply right from the list, or open the job for the full form with questions. If the employer added questions, answer thoughtfully: AI scores your answers on a 100-point scale, and a good score moves you up their list.
  4. 4

    Record a video resume (optional)

    A short video makes you stand out: the employer sees you "live" before the call. Especially helpful if your experience is hard to fit into text.
  5. 5

    Complete a trial task (Trial)

    After approving your application, the employer may offer a Trial — a small, paid task to see your skills in action. Complete it, get paid, and the employer gets proof of your skills without a lengthy interview.
  6. 6

    Chat and get hired

    Direct messages with the employer — no premium paywall on either side. Reach an agreement and you're hired. After the work is done, both sides leave reviews: your reputation grows and unlocks better jobs.

💡 Tip: Job Alerts

In your profile → “Job alerts,” set keywords and skills. When a matching job appears, you'll get an email and can be first to apply.
