Your sectors
What this step does
Section titled “What this step does”It says which trades you work in. Property managers find you on Star by these sectors, and your Tayo clients see them in your Identity: a good selection brings you the right jobs.
What you do
Section titled “What you do”- Click the sectors field: the “Choose your sectors” panel opens.
- Search for a trade, or browse Categories or All, and tick the ones you work in. Selection shows what you have already chosen.
- Close the panel with Done, then click Next.
You need at least one sector to continue. This step is the same on Basic and on Plus.
Frequently asked questions
Section titled “Frequently asked questions”I can’t find my trade
Section titled “I can’t find my trade”Type the word you would use day to day, for example “plumber” or “electrician”: the search covers the sector names and, for the most common ones, the everyday terms for them, ignoring capitals and accents. If your trade really has no sector, choose the closest one in its category, and let us know: see Reporting a bug or suggesting an idea.
How many sectors should I choose?
Section titled “How many sectors should I choose?”At least one, with no maximum. Stay honest about your scope: ticking everything close to it gets you called for jobs you do not want. A precise profile brings fewer calls, but good ones.
Where do my sectors show?
Section titled “Where do my sectors show?”On your Star profile, where property managers look for a contractor, and in your Identity, shared with your Tayo clients.
Can I change them later?
Section titled “Can I change them later?”Yes, at any time under Identity, in the “Activity sectors” field. The change is passed on to your Tayo clients too.
