How it works

Five steps. The Upwork journey, your platform.

Everything a buyer and a contractor expect from a freelance marketplace — proposals, escrow, messages, kickoff video, weekly payment release — built in.

📝

Post a job

Title, skills, hourly budget, hours per week. Brief goes to 47K contractors on Kbot's cross-tenant feed.

📨

Review proposals

Contractor photos, Top Rated badges, job-success score, cover letter, match score. Sort by best match.

🔒

Hire & fund escrow

Stripe Checkout funds the escrow. Money sits in Kbot's platform balance — protected for both sides.

💬

Work & chat

Threads, attachments, two-way read state. Schedule a kickoff jitsi room straight from the message.

💸

Release payment

One click weekly via Stripe Connect. One click refund if anything goes wrong. 1099-NEC filed automatically.

Vs Upwork

Same hiring journey. Different ownership.

Upwork is a public marketplace — Upwork owns the customer relationship. Kbot Workforce is the same flow on your own subdomain — you own it.

FAQ

Quick answers.

How is the escrow protected?

Funds are collected by Stripe Checkout and sit in Kbot's platform balance until you release. A 14-day auto-release applies unless disputed. Refunds go back to the original card in 5–10 days.

Who hosts the workspace? My tenant or kasercorp.com?

Both. Every tenant gets a `/Workforce` route on their own subscriber subdomain. The cross-tenant proposal feed is shared (opt-in per job) so you reach 47K contractors without giving up the relationship.

How does the 1099-NEC filing work?

At year-end, Kbot aggregates every released payment per contractor. Anyone over $600 gets a 1099-NEC auto-prepared and filed with the IRS via TaxBandits. You can preview, edit, or submit manually.

Can contractors invoice me weekly?

Yes — toggle weekly auto-billing per contract. The worker collapses approved timesheets into a single invoice every ISO week. Optional Stripe Connect auto-pay closes the loop.

What about video calls?

Schedule any contract kickoff straight from the chat — Kbot generates a jitsi room (powered by kbot-meet), drops the join link into the thread, and logs the meeting on the contract timeline.
