Do platforms like Angi and Thumbtack actually help, or are referrals still better?
I am a contractor and I wanted to ask both contractors and people who hire services something I have been thinking about lately. When you need work done or when you are looking for jobs, what platform or method are you actually using right now to find the right person or the right work?
For example, do you use platforms like Angi, Thumbtack, Facebook groups, Google search, or just rely on referrals and word of mouth?
From your experience, do these platforms really help in finding reliable people and good quality work, or do you still face problems like trust, pricing issues, or low quality leads?
I am just trying to understand what is actually working for people in real life right now and what is not.
