Frequently Asked Questions

How does TCM work?

The heart of the website is the rating system which is setup with 6 tier levels. Employers rate their employees after the job has been completed and based on that rating the employees can move up, or down, depending on how well they are rated. Craftsmen at the higher tier levels will probably demand more money and customers looking to hire them will also have confidence that the person is the right candidate for the job the higher up in the tier levels they pick an employee from.

Why should I list my services on TCM?

TCM is designed to allow craftsmen to find work, set their own hours and decide how many jobs they want to do without having to work for a company. Craftsmen can also use TCM to find additional work on the side while they hold another job. The goal of TCM is to provide an avenue to connect potential employers with skilled craftsmen and be able to receive top pay if they make it to the top tiers on their own.
