Helprr connects people who need help with skilled helpers nearby.
Use the Helprr app or website, choose 'Post job', describe what needs to be done, set a budget, and publish the job.
After completion, both parties can leave a review in the chat.
You can post practical jobs in and around the home, such as cleaning, gardening, moving, painting, assembling furniture, and small repairs. Helprr shows the current categories while you post; choose the closest match and clearly describe the work, location, timing, and budget.
Browsing, posting and bidding are free. For a paid job, the customer pays a 5% service fee on top of the offer and the helper pays a 5% service fee from the payout.
Service fees apply only when an offer is accepted and the job is paid through the platform.
The customer pays the full displayed amount through Stripe when selecting an offer. After completion is confirmed, the net amount becomes available in the service provider's wallet.
Stripe processes online payments and payouts as the payment provider; Helprr determines and displays the job and payment-flow status.
Your existing Helprr account can be used for both roles. Open your helper profile in the app or on the website and complete helper registration, including the required Stripe verification. You can place bids once Helprr shows that your account is ready. Verification is required before bidding and receiving payouts.
Helprr does not provide default job insurance and is not an insurer or party to the agreement between customer and helper. Both parties are responsible for suitable insurance and agreements about damage and liability.
Helprr is available throughout the Netherlands via the iOS and Android apps and helprr.nl. You can post a job from any Dutch region. Helpers can respond when their account is ready and the job is accepting bids. The number of available jobs and active helpers varies by location, category, and time.
The Helprr app can send push notifications when someone responds to your job. If you use the website, check your job and chats on helprr.nl; depending on your account settings, you may also receive email updates. Jobs, bids, questions, and chats can be managed in both the app and the website.

Keep communication, agreements, and payment within Helprr. Arranging or paying for the same job outside the platform can affect support, mediation, and refunds through Helprr.

Helprrs are people with practical skills and professionals who respond to jobs through Helprr. Review each helper's actual profile information, such as their bio, categories, location, work experience, photos, education, verification, and reviews. A profile does not by itself guarantee skills or quality, so ask questions and agree on the work before accepting an offer.

You can see this by clicking on the helper's profile. There you'll see information like their location, work experience, and bio. This data often gives a good picture of the person. You'll also see any reviews from previous jobs.

You're probably not doing anything wrong, but it's important to make a realistic bid. The target price in a job is often an indication of what the customer is willing to pay. A bid that's well above this is often rejected. Make sure your bid fits the job and your profile comes across as trustworthy.
For work experience, add a title and description of previous work and include photos of completed jobs if useful. Add education and training separately in the relevant profile section. Work experience does not support uploads of certificates, diplomas, references, or other documents.
