HireMe is a universal marketplace for human help — from small errands to in-home assistance to skilled and digital work. Built around trust, safety, and reciprocity, it lets anyone both give and receive help inside the same protected network. Not just a gig app — a civic layer for coordinating human capability.
The operating system for human help.
Millions of people have usable skills and time but lack access to opportunity. Meanwhile, getting help is slow, costly, or unsafe — and trust between strangers has eroded.
Hiring everyday help is expensive, unreliable, and full of friction.
People have skills and time — but no easy, dignified path to earn from them.
Work happens off the books, without protection, reputation, or continuity.
Strangers have no shared, portable way to prove reliability and safety.
Today you hire. Tomorrow you work.Reciprocity — the philosophy at the core of HireMe
There are no permanent clients and no permanent workers — only people who sometimes need help and sometimes provide it. Every participant builds one reputation that compounds over time, creating a shared economic fabric instead of an extractive one.
Platform work has gone mainstream, but there's still no universal, trusted layer that spans every kind of help. Rising costs, urban living, and instant secure payments make now the moment.
One trusted network spans categories with very different economics — and each new category deepens the same reputation graph and payment rails. We launch where trust matters most and expand outward.
Grocery runs, pickups & drop-offs, coffee, waiting in line.
Dog walking, senior assistance, a hand where it's needed.
Cleaning, furniture assembly, help around the house.
Handy work and trades — higher vetting, higher value.
Remote and online tasks delivered through the network.
The long-term asset isn't listings — it's the trust graph, reputation system, and transaction infrastructure for real-world and digital help.
Live today = in the beta app now · Roadmap = where we're going. We keep the two separate on purpose.
Verification, protected payments, and safety tools built in from the start — so every lower-risk task becomes easy.
Reciprocity means the same person supplies and consumes — compounding liquidity and stronger network effects than one-sided apps.
A single protected transaction layer spans errands, in-home, skilled, and digital — instead of a narrow single-purpose gig app.
Reliability and contribution travel with each person and deepen over time — a moat that grows with every completed task.
People already get help in fragmented, risky ways. Each alternative solves a slice — none delivers verified people, protected payments, and measurable reliability across every kind of help, for a person who both earns and gets help.
Anyone can post on a message board. On HireMe every person is verified, every payment is protected, and every task builds a reputation that sticks.
Most apps solve one task type in one direction. HireMe spans errands to skilled to digital — and the same person can both earn and get help.
Freelance sites are built for digital deliverables. HireMe is built for trusted, in-person help right in your neighbourhood.
Word of mouth stops at who you already know. HireMe brings verified help nearby — with a safety net when a favour isn't enough.
Our distinct promise: verified people, protected payments, and measurable reliability — show-up rate and time-to-match — across every category, for people who both give and get help. That's what a community post or a one-off gig app can't offer.
Monetization is segment-specific — matched to the economics and trust requirements of each category.
A take rate on completed tasks — we earn when help actually happens.
Optional guarantees — damage protection, rebooking credits, added safety. Not offered yet.
Subscriptions for high-volume Doers and pros who want more reach and tools.
Long-term: a "Human API" for condos, property managers, and businesses.
Like Uber coordinates vehicles and Airbnb coordinates space, HireMe coordinates human capability. Eventually, anyone can simply request "I need this kind of help, here, now" — and the network routes it to the right verified people.
Launch in-person, everyday tasks where trust matters most.
Grow beyond Toronto into neighbouring communities and cities — the same trusted, in-person help, made local wherever people live.
Community by community across Canada — local trust, connected into a national fabric of help.
Take the community playbook to new countries, with safety, trust, and compliance built in from day one.
An API for human help across communities and businesses.
A trust marketplace wins one community at a time. We start in one dense, older-skewing, affluent Toronto community — North York and the Yonge corridor, HireMe's home base — because it's where the economics and the product fit best.
A micro-errand nets roughly $3 in platform fees; an in-home visit nets ~$11–13; a weekly recurring in-home household is ≈ $560/yr in fees. The affluent, older segment skews exactly to these higher-value, recurring jobs. (18% take; figures from HireMe's live pricing engine.)
ID verification, tier-2 PIN + arrival selfie + completion photos, and category tier-gating are exactly what affluent seniors — and their adult children, often the real buyer — need to say yes. Most gig apps under-serve this segment because trust is expensive. HireMe already paid that cost.
A dense condo corridor means short distances, so doers stack tasks with low travel cost, and subway access lets doers commute in from cheaper areas — solving the classic "affluent neighbourhoods lack doer supply" problem. The condo / property-manager / senior-residence channel is a built-in distribution wedge.
Vetted-help agencies charge this demographic premium rates. HireMe matches the trust and undercuts the price.
Trust first, convenience second, growth third.
Design for the highest-risk use case — the rest becomes easy.
Reputation is identity.
Protect the honest majority from the dishonest minority.
Reciprocity over extraction.
We connect people — we don't replace them.
HireMe is live in beta in Toronto — real tasks, real people, real payments. Honest and early: this is the moment to build alongside us.
We believe everyone has something to give, and everyone deserves access to help. If that vision resonates, we'd love to share the full deck and where we're headed.
