The status quo is broken
Hiring shouldn't be a sales marathon.
On most platforms, as soon as you hit "Submit," your phone number is sold as a lead. Within minutes, you're receiving cold calls from five different businesses you haven't even vetted yet.
Meanwhile, those local businesses have often paid $30 to $80 just for that lead—before they've even given you a quote. This forces them to quote higher just to cover their marketing costs.
"Marketplaces should help people connect, not profit from the friction between them. We built Helpious to be free for both sides."
