    Post a Gig, Apply for Work: The Yarnoo Jobs Board (and Merch)

    3 min readYarnoo

    Until now, Yarnoo worked in one direction. You looked for an artist, found them, contacted them. Useful, but it only serves the person who already knows they need a magician on the fourteenth.

    The other direction was missing. Sometimes the organizer is the one who should be findable.

    "I have a corporate night in three weeks and four slots to fill. I do not want to message forty people. I want the right people to come to me."

    The Jobs Board

    /jobs is a public board of open gigs posted by organizers. Artists browse it, filter it, and apply. Organizers post once and let applications come in.

    Posting a gig

    Head to /jobs/new, describe what you need, and publish. A good post is specific: the role, the event type, the date, the country, and anything that would make an artist self-select in or out.

    You need your account set up first, meaning a name and a profile photo, so artists can see who is hiring. If that is missing, Yarnoo sends you to finish it before you post. Nobody applies to a faceless listing.

    You do not need an artist profile to post a job. Organizers, venues, planners, schools, and companies can post without ever being an artist on the platform.

    Manage everything you have posted from your account, where you can edit a listing or close it once it is filled.

    Browsing and applying

    Artists can search the board by keyword, country, and category, and sort what comes back. Every listing has its own page with the full brief.

    To apply, you need at least one artist profile. Tap apply, and here is the part that matters:

    1. You choose which artist you are applying as. If you manage several, you pick deliberately.
    2. You can add a first message with your application.
    3. A direct chat thread opens automatically with the organizer.

    No application black hole. The moment you apply, there is a conversation, and it lives in /messages with everything else.

    Agencies can apply more than one artist to the same job, one application each, each with its own thread. If a client posts for a DJ and you represent three who fit, put all three forward.

    Why a board instead of more searching

    Search works when you know what you want. A board works when you know what you need but not who. It also surfaces work to artists who would never have appeared in a given organizer's search, which is exactly the discovery problem Yarnoo exists to fix, pointed the other way.

    Yarnoo Merch

    Separately, and much more simply: /merch is open.

    Tees, stickers, and temporary tattoos with Yarnoo artwork. Search, filter by type, and open any product to see the full design.

    ItemPrice
    Tees$30
    Stickers$1
    Temporary tattoos$1

    Ordering is deliberately low-tech: pick your product, pick your size if it is a tee, and tap Order on WhatsApp. Your order details come through pre-filled and a human takes it from there.

    There is no cart, no checkout, and no card form, because building a payment stack for a sticker would be an absurd use of everyone's time. It is on-demand, it is a conversation, and it works.

    Where to Start

    • Hiring? Post at /jobs/new.
    • Looking for work? Browse /jobs and apply as your artist profile.
    • Want the tee? /merch.
