For artisans
Get hired for the work you do best.
Find jobs near you, send quotes on your own terms and get paid securely — here's how to get started and stand out.
Getting started
- Create a free account and choose your main trade.
- Verify your identity so clients know who they're hiring (see below).
- Complete your profile — add your skills, service area and photos of past work.
- Browse jobs and quote — once you're approved, your job feed unlocks.
Verification
Verification has two steps, and both are needed before you can quote on jobs:
- NIN verification — confirms your identity against your National Identification Number.
- ID & admin approval — upload a valid ID and our team reviews it, usually within a few working days.
You'll see your verification status on your dashboard at every step.
Winning jobs
- Quote promptly — clients often hire one of the first few artisans to respond.
- Be clear about what's included, and agree the materials cost with the client before work starts.
- Keep all conversations in HandyHire chat so there's a record if questions come up later.
- Finish strong — good reviews move you up and bring repeat clients.
Getting paid
The client pays your workmanship fee into escrow before work starts, so you know the money is there. It's released to your HandyHire wallet once the job is confirmed complete, and you can withdraw it to your bank account from the Earnings page.
