Safety & trust

Your safety is built in

Every feature in BOB O JOB is designed with safety first — from the moment you post a job to final payment.

🪪

Interviewed, identity verified & DBS-checked

Every Jobber has been interviewed by our team, has their government-issued ID verified via Stripe, and has a Basic DBS (background) check before anyone goes live.

  • Interview with our team
  • Government ID verified via Stripe
  • Basic DBS (background) check before the first job
  • No automated approval — every Jobber is reviewed
  • Report a concern at any time — we can suspend an account immediately
🔒

Pay on completion

Your card is pre-authorised when you post a job but never charged until you confirm the work is done.

  • Pre-authorised at booking, not charged
  • Payment released only on your confirmation
  • Payment held while we review a dispute
  • Stripe-grade security
📍

Check-in code

When your Jobber arrives, they enter a unique 4-digit code shown on your app. This proves they're physically present before the job starts.

  • Prevents fraudulent early starts
  • Code refreshes each job
  • Randomly generated, checked server-side
  • Customer controls start time

  • Share a tracking link with someone you trust
  • Stop sharing at any time
