Why some applications are promoted
Grafters can spend credits to promote their application to a job they're particularly interested in. A promoted application is pinned to the top of your applicant list so it's seen first.
There are up to 4 promoted slots per job, taken on a first-come-first-served basis.
Should I prefer promoted applicants?
Not necessarily. A promoted application means the grafter has invested in being seen — it shows they're keen and motivated to win your job. But it doesn't replace the things that really matter:
Their reviews from previous clients
Their experience and skills
Their availability and location
Their message and how they respond to you
We'd recommend reviewing all your applications carefully and choosing based on the best fit for your job, not just on whether someone has promoted themselves.
Does promotion cost me anything?
No. Grafters pay to promote themselves. It costs you nothing.
