Great service

I am a plumber and have recently started using this service! Couldn’t be happier with all the extra work I am picking up as a result! Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to grow their business.

Fraudsters! Everyone beware! Dodgey as they come!

published

They promised a first month trial run for $14 and then I was charged $115 for the first and then they continued to charge me fees for no reason even though I called them and emailed them to stop.

The cheapest of them all

published

I’m a painter and have used all of these types of services. They all have lots of leads where the customer is simply uncontactable or are not interested. That hurts when you pay $30+ for the lead. I pay $8 lead at Hiretrades....so my costs make it worth pursuing them. The leads are not plentiful. But they are getting better each month. There is next to nothing to lose

Poor Customer Service! Not Reccomeneded

published

Not recommended! Unimpressed with their customer service. Avoiding signing up with this platform as return of investment has been poor in my case. I only recieved one lead in 6 months and I was not refunded the money which I had paid ahead upon cancellation of the membership.

Been with hiretrades for 6 months now. It was really poor to start with as it has no job listings. I stuck with as $8/month was not a lot. Glad I did as now there is a steady trickle of work. No where near as much as other sites but at a fraction of the cost I can see their presence growing.

Really quick

published

I posted a job earlier and was happy to get 2 quotes within the hour for my pest control job. I accepted the lowest price and the job was done the next morning. The tradesmen was polite and clean. I’m a satisfied customer.

got an electrician inside of 10 minutes

published

We had a loss of power over the weekend and needed an emergency callout. Darren, a local sparky was on to it and sorted out our RCD issues in 30 minutes. I was super happy to get a sparky, not so happy with $300 for 30 minutes on-site. I know Hiretrades don't employ the tradie so I am otherwise happy with the service.

Efficient

published

Quick and easy. I needed someone to clean my windows and some garden maintenance - at my rental. App was really easy and the handymen that quoted the job knew their stuff. Pricing varied and we took the second lowest price. I'm traveling interstate and would have found this difficult otherwise. I'll use hiretrades again.

How can they get away with this.

published

Received an unsolicited email. Email quite clearly indicated that they have subscribed me to their system without my consent. It appears that Sensis (Yellow Pages) have sold my data to a marketing company based in Perth retained by this Hong Kong based company. Again without my consent. Their activity doesnt instil any confidence in their operation and makes me sure I will never use them.

Yet again another unsolicited email. Despite their assurances last time that they would remove me from their data base they have not done so. Unacceptable.

Good for finding work

published

I'm a gardener who uses these sorts of platforms for most of my work. Hiretrades is the cheapest, with no real jobs and not many others pricing. They don't punch out as many jobs as hipages but there costs are less than 25%. Thumbs up!

Can’t fault it

published

I contacted hiretrades re a recent plumbing job. I was connected promptly with appropriate and competitive services, and was able to resolve my issue within the day. The processes were very clear, would absolutely use again!

Illegally drawing money from account

published

I registered with Hire Trades, believing it was free to do so. Since then they have drawn from my account twice without authority to do so. The Company web page seems to have disappeared from the Internet, so to anyone thinking of signing up, be warned. I am not sure I know how they even got my bank account details.

Unsolicited emails

published

If I could give zero stars I would. Constant requests to be removed from your daily mailing list go unheeded, negative feedback on your own website suggested I use your contact us page, guess what, it doesn't work. This is nothing short of harassment and needs to stop now

Unethical business

published

These shonky people are spammers who harvest email addresses from websites and then send out their spam three times/week. You can't even contact them on their website because their contact form doesn't work.

This is so convenient

published

I used HIRE trades for a recent grouting job. The HIRE trades service could not be faulted - was quick, easy and convenient. It linked me to competitive quotes, with credible trades people - this is unlike some experiences I've had using other websites. Highly recommend this service.

Hired a handyman from hiretrades.com.au

published

A close friend recommended Hiretrades. This was the first time I had used them. The service was free and Bill did a great job fixing my door.

I didn't realise how easy the internet made it for me to get help. I will be using Hiretrades again.
