Messaging

Chatting once an employer opens a conversation.

What it is

Messaging is a private in-app chat between one employer and one worker, tied to a specific job application. It opens as soon as the employer unlocks chat. Phone numbers and email addresses are never shared between users.

Where to find it

Workers: Messages tab → tap a conversation. Employers: tap an applicant → Message.

How it works

Before a chat is open, we quietly remove phone numbers, emails, and links to outside group chats from public spaces — so nothing leaks by accident. Once the employer pays to start the chat, the two of you can share whatever you need.

  1. Application sent
  2. Employer unlocks
  3. Chat opens
  4. Share contacts freely

  • Auto-translateEnglish ↔ Spanish.
  • Email mirrorNever miss a message.

What to expect

What the chat is like:

  • Text only — fast, focused, and easy on your data.
  • Automatic translation between English and Spanish, so each side reads in their own language.
  • All communication stays inside Job On The Block. Don't share phone numbers, emails, or WhatsApp/Telegram links — keep the conversation here so we can support you, log it, and back up the ratings & history that build your reputation.
  • Every new message also lands in the other person's email so nothing slips by.
