Skimpy connects people who need a job done with people nearby who can do it. Here’s what happens on each side.
Describe what needs doing, the suburb, when you need it done and your budget. Add photos if they help. Something like “Mow and edge a backyard in Marrickville, Saturday morning, around $80”.
People nearby send an offer with their price and a short message. You can ask questions through Skimpy messages before deciding.
Look at each person’s profile, ratings and verification badges. Accept the offer that suits you. You don’t have to accept any.
Sort out the time and access in Skimpy messages. Pay the person the price you agreed, the way you agreed. Don’t pay in full before the work is done.
When the job’s done, either of you marks it as done on the job page. Then you can both leave a review, which helps the next person choose.
Browse open jobs as a list or on the map, and filter by suburb and category.
Say what you’d charge and why you’re a good fit. Be clear about what’s included, like materials or tip runs.
Once your offer is accepted, agree the details in messages, then turn up and do great work.
The poster pays you the price you agreed. Mark the job as done so you can review each other: good reviews win you more work.
Running a business or a regular side gig? Create a service listing so people can find you without waiting for a job post.
Anyone can add verification to their profile. Each badge stands for one specific check, so you know exactly what’s been confirmed.
For businesses. The Australian Business Number has been looked up on the Australian Business Register and confirmed as active.
For licensed work such as electrical, plumbing or building. The licence details provided have been checked and approved.
The person has verified their identity with a photo ID check through our verification provider.
