  • Services & Recruitment on SpigotMC



    The Spigot Forums are a place for the community to interact and help each other, it's also a place where you can everything you might need for your server. This isn't limited to the resources or help you can find here from other's in the community, there is a specific section of the forums were some people offer up their services to others in the community and people looking to hire someone for a certain project might do so.

    This is the Services & Recruitment section of the forums, this category can, in a broad sense be divided into two sub-categories, the hiring forums, and the offering forums. In each of these sub-categories you will find a Forum related to: Developers; Designers & Artists; System Administrators and finally Builders.
