_{Getting Started on TallyHO Temps}

Getting started is easy.

Profile Picture

A profile picture is important because:

Creates a Strong First Impression: Clients are more likely to engage with profiles that feel personal and professional. A clear, friendly photo shows you're real and serious about your work.
Builds Trust and Credibility: In the equine world, reliability and trust are key. A photo helps potential clients feel more confident that they’re hiring someone responsible and trustworthy.
Makes You Memorable: With multiple freelancers on the platform, a profile picture helps you stand out and be remembered more easily by potential clients.
Increases Engagement: Profiles with photos are more likely to be viewed and contacted, simply because people naturally respond to faces.
Reflects Professionalism: A well-chosen image signals that you take your freelancing role seriously and are ready to represent yourself well.

Bio

Filling in your Bio gives potential clients a clear, personal insight into who you are, what you do, and why you're the right person for the job.

Builds Trust and Rapport: A thoughtful bio helps clients feel they’re hiring a real, reliable person with relevant experience and passion.
Highlights Your Skills: It’s your chance to showcase what you’re good at—whether that’s mucking out stables, grooming ponies, handling admin in a tack shop, or customer service at an equine event.
Sets You Apart: A strong bio shows your personality and work ethic, helping you stand out from other freelancers who might do similar but have less compelling descriptions.
Helps You Get Matched to the Right Jobs: Clients are more likely to reach out when they can see at a glance that your skills and attitude are a good fit for their needs.
Shows You're Serious: An empty bio can give the impression you’re not fully committed. A filled-out profile signals professionalism and readiness to work.

Filling in all sections is also important for search:

Increases Visibility in Searches: When clients search for freelancers using terms like “groom,” “stable hand,” “event support,” or “horse care,” the platform looks for those keywords in profiles. If your bio or experience contains those words, you’re more likely to appear in the results.
Improves Discoverability Outside the Platform: If your profile is indexed by search engines, having the right keywords can help your name pop up on Google when someone’s looking for equine freelancers in your area.

You can add more to your profile from your dashboard by clicking account.

Here you can add your experience.

Experience

Filling in your experience shows clients exactly what you’ve done before and why they can trust you to do the job well.

Here’s why it makes a big difference:

Demonstrates Your Skills in Action: Listing your experience shows you’ve done it before and can do it again.
Builds Confidence with Employers: Clients are more likely to hire someone whose experience matches their needs. Even a short description of past roles can make a big impact.
Shows Your Reliability: Employers want someone dependable. By sharing where you’ve worked and what you did, you’re giving them confidence that you can be counted on.
Tells Your Professional Story: Your experience section helps paint a picture of your journey—whether you're just starting out or have years in the equine world.
