Using the Availability Calendar

The OPUS availability calendar is the core of how we match jobs, services, and professionals. It ensures you only see — and are seen by — people who are ready to work when you need them.

For Job Seekers & Service Providers

• Mark your availability:

  • Choose daily, weekly, or one-off slots.

  • Set recurring times (e.g., “Available every Monday 9 AM–5 PM”).

  • Add one-time availability for short gigs.

• Multiple skills or services:

  • Link availability to specific services (e.g., mornings for hairdressing, evenings for photography).

  • Avoid double-booking with automatic conflict checks.

For Employers & Clients

• Post availability for jobs:

  • Set dates and times for open shifts or project start dates.

  • Define job duration (hours, days, or weeks).

• Location-based matching:

  • Pin your job on the map so nearby professionals can find it.

  • Combine with remote options for a wider reach.
