It's way easier than constantly hustling for new jobs. Don't waste your time on Upwork—you'll make peanuts.

Just checked out the Gigster's onboarding form. The last 2 questions are about the applicant's gender and ethnicity. Is asking stuff like that legal?

And how is that even relevant, given that gigster is about remote work?

Depends on the country. I had an U.S. manager flip out when I mentioned my age during a remote interview, totally different to here (Uruguay) where it's a normal requirement in the C.V. (along with a photo). I've been told both are huge no-nos in the U.S.

Isn't it invite only?

You can apply online: https://www.onboardiq.com/gigster-e787c98b-90dc-41dc-a8e3-8c...

Where did you find that? Last time I looked at their website, I couldn't find anything remotely like that.

It's right there in the footer.

I don't know if that link wasn't there last time or if I was just blind. Cheers.

It didn't used to be. I'm not sure when they moved to invite only. I'm guessing they needed to compete with Toptal in a different way.
