FAQs
Quick answers about using Nou So.
What is Nou So?+
Nou So connects you with trusted local people for any job — cleaning, repairs, hair, tutoring, events and more. Post what you need and nearby workers send you offers, or browse and hire directly.
How do I get a job done?+
Tap “Post a job”, say what you need (type or record a voice note, add photos or a video), and post it. Verified workers nearby send offers. You choose a worker, agree the price and pay them directly. Nouso does not process the payment.
How do I find work?+
Tap “Jobs” to see jobs posted near you. Send an offer with your price. If the client picks you, the agreed price and job stay in My jobs. Agree payment directly with the client.
Is it safe?+
Every user signs up with their South African ID, and workers get a verified badge after we check their ID. Reviews are linked to confirmed job records. Verification is not a guarantee of safety, work quality or payment.
How do payments work?+
Nouso records the agreed price only. The client and worker pay each other directly. Nouso does not hold, protect or verify payment.
What does it cost?+
Nouso records the agreement. The worker and client agree the price for the work and arrange payment privately.
How do I get paid as a worker?+
Agree how and when the client will pay you before work starts. They pay you directly, not through Nouso. Completed job values are not withdrawable balances.
How do I get verified?+
Go to your dashboard and open “Get verified”. Upload your SA ID and a selfie — once our team checks it, you get the verified badge and rank higher.
