How it works

Three steps. You see every price before you agree, and you only pay for an offer you accept.

  1. Step 1

    Describe it, free

    Say what you need in a sentence or two. Posting costs nothing.

  2. Step 2

    Get offers from people who’ve done it

    Taskers who have done this before send an offer with their own price. Ask questions, then pick one.

  3. Step 3

    Pay, and it’s held until done

    Accept an offer and pay. Taskly holds the payment until you say the work is done.

Good questions

The things people ask before they post in Dubai and the UAE.

  • 01

    What does career guidance and mentorship cost in Dubai and the UAE?

    Most of it falls between AED 100–700, depending on how much you need. Each Tasker names their own price in their offer, so you see the cost before you agree to anything.

  • 02

    Which corporate roles suit someone from hotel front office?

    Common moves include customer experience, client services in real estate or banking, airline and airport operations, and events. A coach helps you choose based on the parts of the work you enjoy and the salary you need.

  • 03

    What should I share with an engineering mentor?

    A design document or RFC you wrote, with company details removed, your company's level expectations if they are published, and feedback from your last review. That lets the mentor focus on the real gap.

  • 04

    How long should a CV be for UAE roles?

    Two pages is usual for experienced managers. Lead with a short profile, then recent roles with measurable results, and cut older roles down to a line or two each.

  • 05

    How does paying work?

    Posting is free. When you accept an offer you pay the agreed price. Your money is held by Taskly until you confirm the task is done. If you don’t, it’s released three days after your Tasker marks it finished — unless you report a problem.

  • 06

    Who are the Taskers?

    People who have done what you need: worked at the company, passed the exam, made the move. Every Tasker is reviewed and approved by a person before they work.

What do you need done?

Tell us in a sentence. People who’ve done it send offers.
