Simple Process

How inerk Works

From posting a job to getting paid securely — everything happens in one platform with full escrow protection.

Step 01

Post & Negotiate

Employer posts a job with a budget. Workers apply. Both negotiate pay directly in real-time chat until they agree on a price.

Step 02

Work & OTP Verify

Funds are locked in escrow before work starts. When the job is done, the employer gets a 4-digit OTP code. The worker must enter the matching code to confirm completion.

Step 03

Get Paid via Escrow

Both employer and worker confirm completion. Funds are released from escrow to the worker's wallet. If the employer doesn't respond, funds auto-release after the review period.

Everything You Need

Built for Nigerian Freelance

Every feature is designed around how Nigerians actually work — negotiate, verify, and get paid safely.

Job Marketplace

Post jobs or find work across Nigeria. Browse by category, location, and budget. Employers and workers connect directly.

Browse Jobs

Real-time Negotiation

Chat directly with the other party to negotiate price, scope, and timeline. No middleman — agree on terms together in real time.

Escrow Payment System

Funds are locked before work starts. The payer is debited when the negotiation is accepted. The receiver is credited only after both confirm completion.

OTP Completion Code

Every job generates a unique 4-digit code. The employer sees it; the worker must enter the matching code to confirm the job is done. No more "I did the work" disputes.

Dual Confirmation

Both employer and worker must confirm job completion. If the employer doesn't respond within the review period, funds are automatically released to the worker.

Wallet System

Fund your wallet via Paystack. Pay for jobs from your wallet balance. Withdraw your earnings to your Nigerian bank account anytime.

Go to Wallet

Squads

Create squads to tackle larger projects as a team. Squad leaders manage members and distribute payments. Escrow holds funds for the whole squad.

Secure by Design

How Escrow Protects You

Your money never goes directly to anyone. It's held securely until the job is verified complete.

1

Funds Locked

When a negotiation is accepted, the employer's wallet is debited and the funds are locked in escrow. Work hasn't started yet — but the money is already secured.

2

Work Completed

The worker completes the job. The employer receives a unique 4-digit OTP code. The worker must enter this code to prove the job was done satisfactorily.

3

OTP Verified

The worker enters the correct OTP code. Both employer and worker confirm the job is complete. This dual confirmation ensures nobody gets shortchanged.

4

Funds Released

After both confirm, escrow releases funds to the worker's wallet (minus platform commission). If the employer doesn't respond, funds auto-release after the review period.

No More Scams

Money can't disappear. It's held until both parties agree the work is done.

Auto-Release

If the employer goes silent after work is done, funds auto-release after the review period.

OTP Proof

The 4-digit code proves the employer acknowledged the work. No code, no payment.

Transparent Fees

Commission & Pricing

Our commission scales with the job size — smaller jobs have a higher percentage, larger jobs cost less. Always transparent, always fair.

Platform Commission Tiers

Commission is split 50/50 between employer and worker

Teamwork Made Easy

Work Together with Squads

Some jobs are too big for one person. Create a squad, invite members, and tackle larger projects together. The squad leader manages the team and distributes payments — all protected by escrow.

Create & Manage Squads

Create a squad, set roles, and invite workers. The squad leader coordinates the team and handles payment distribution.

Squad Escrow

Funds are held for the whole squad in escrow. Each member gets their share automatically when the job is confirmed complete.

Fair Distribution

The squad leader allocates payment percentages. When the job pays out, each member receives their exact share directly to their wallet.
