FAQ

WHAT IS EQUIOPPORTUNITY?

EquiOpportunity is an innovative online platform dedicated to bridging the gap between freelance grooms and yards or horse owners in need of professional grooming services. The origins of EquiOpportunity lie in the growing demand for skilled freelance grooms and the need for a specialised platform that can streamline the process. Founded with the primary objective of connecting freelance grooms with job opportunities, EquiOpportunity aims to enhance job visibility for these professionals while providing reliable options for those needing their expertise.

The mission of EquiOpportunity is multifaceted. Firstly, it seeks to simplify the often complex process of locating and hiring dependable freelance grooms. By offering a centralized database, the platform allows yard owners and horse enthusiasts to easily find qualified professionals who meet their specific needs. This not only saves time but also ensures that the hiring process is both efficient and effective.

Secondly, EquiOpportunity is designed to significantly enhance job visibility for freelance grooms. Given the transient nature of freelance work, many grooms face challenges in consistently finding job opportunities. With an extensive network and user-friendly interface, EquiOpportunity provides these professionals with much-needed exposure, ensuring they have access to a broader range of potential employers.

A significant factor driving the creation of EquiOpportunity is the increasing demand for freelance grooming services. In the equestrian world, the need for specialised, skilled labor is ever-present. Yards and horse owners often require immediate access to experienced grooms who can manage diverse tasks ranging from day to day care to competition grooming. EquiOpportunity addresses this need by creating a reliable and accessible pool of talent that can be readily tapped into.

Overall, EquiOpportunity stands as a testament to the evolving landscape of the freelance grooming industry. By focusing on the dual objectives of streamlining the process and enhancing job opportunities, the platform is poised to become an indispensable resource for both freelance grooms and those seeking their services.

HOW MUCH DOES EQUIOPPORTUNITY COST TO USE?

Creating a profile on our platform is entirely free. Freelancers can also view and apply for job listings at no cost. However, employers who wish to view freelancer profiles need to purchase a subscription.

Subscription Packages

To ensure flexibility, we offer various subscription packages:

  • 2-week subscription: £20 – Provides 2 weeks of access to the freelancer database.
  • 4-week subscription: £40 – Includes 4 weeks of database access and one free 1-week job listing.
  • 8-week subscription: £70 – Offers 8 weeks of access and one free 2-week job listing.
  • 3-month subscription: £90 – Grants 3 months of access, one free 1-week job listing, and one free 2-week job listing.

While having an active job listing ensures that your advert will be live for freelancers to see, it does not grant access to the database. For database access, a subscription is necessary.
