Getting Started questions
What is White Collar Professional?
White Collar Professional is a marketplace connecting people and businesses who need professional services with verified chartered professionals. Service recipients raise an enquiry, registered professionals bid for it, and a Relationship Manager oversees the engagement from enquiry through to completion.
Who can create an account?
Anyone can register. A new account is a Registered User, which lets you raise service enquiries, follow professionals, read News-Updates and apply for jobs and assignments. Holding a professional membership additionally makes you a Professional User, who can also provide services.
Is White Collar Professional free to join?
Yes. Creating an account, building your profile, posting in Feeds, reading News & Judgements, applying for jobs and messaging other users are all free. You pay only when you engage a professional through a Service Enquiry, and recruiters pay only if they post more than the free monthly allowance of job listings.
What can I do on the platform?
You can raise a Service Enquiry to hire a verified professional, ask a Query or share an Insight in Feeds, follow professionals and build your WCP Network, read news-updates and court judgements, apply for jobs and work assignments, post your own listings, chat and schedule meetings with other users, and manage everything from your dashboard and profile.
What is the difference between a Registered User and a Professional User?
Every new account is a Registered User. A Registered User can raise service enquiries, use Feeds, follow professionals, read news and apply for jobs. A Professional User is a Registered User whose CA, CS, CMA or Advocate membership has been approved; they can do all of the above and can also register for services, bid on enquiries and provide services through the platform.
Is there a mobile app?
Yes. White Collar Professional is available on Android and iOS as well as on desktop, tablet and mobile browsers. Your account, wallet and conversations are the same on every device.
Where do I start after creating my account?
Start at your dashboard. Complete your membership details (if you hold one) and your Interest Area or Expertise, so your Feeds and News are tailored to you. Then complete your profile, follow a few professionals and explore Services, Feeds, News and Jobs from the dashboard.
