Why we built Hyrly

It started with a £40 shift that never got filled.

On a packed Saturday, a local café owner had to turn customers away — two of her team had called in sick that morning and she had no way to find anyone fast. Two hundred metres up the road, three students sat in the library, skint, scrolling job sites that only ever showed full-time roles miles from campus.

Once you notice that gap, you see it everywhere. A physio whose receptionist calls in sick at nine, with a waiting room filling up by ten. A market trader who gets slammed on a Sunday and needs an extra pair of hands for four hours — today, not next week. A parent hunting for a maths tutor for tonight, before tomorrow's exam. An events crew a steward short on the morning of the show.

In every one of those moments, the right person is already close by — a few streets away, free that afternoon, and glad of the work. They just can't see each other.

Hyrly exists to close that gap: to make the work happening right around you — the shift starting in an hour, the tutor needed tonight, the extra pair of hands for tomorrow's market — visible, instant and safe. No CVs. No agencies. No waiting.

Questions, answered.

For people looking for work, people offering a skill, and anyone who needs a hand nearby.

What kinds of work and services are on Hyrly?

Anything local, by the hour or the day — skilled or unskilled. A café needs a shift covered this afternoon. A student wants weekend work. A beautician has a free slot and is after her next client nearby. A car-cleaner just had a booking cancelled, so he offers that empty hour at a discount to someone on the same street. A physiotherapist has availability and can see you today. A cook will come to your kitchen and make dinner. Someone needs a clothing alteration finished by tomorrow morning. If it's local and short-term, it belongs on Hyrly.

I offer a service or a skill — can Hyrly keep me busy?

That's the heart of it. Switch on 'available now', list the slots you're free, and people nearby looking for exactly what you do can find and book you. Turn quiet afternoons, last-minute cancellations and gaps between appointments into paid work — and if you want to fill a slot fast, offer it at a discount to whoever's close by right now.

I'm a student — how does it work for me?

Open the app, see paid work happening within a few miles, and apply with one tap from a reusable profile — no CV, no agencies, no waiting days for a reply. Earn around your timetable, build a rating that follows you, and unlock better-paid work as you go.

I run a local business — why Hyrly instead of an agency?

Because it's faster, with no agency fees and no lock-in. Post a shift in about a minute and reach vetted, rated people who are minutes away and free right now — ideal for a no-show, a sudden rush, or a one-off event. You see ratings before you choose, and you build your own pool of trusted locals over time.

Is Hyrly really free?

Yes — free to find work and free to post a job, kept that way by optional donations. We may add paid extras later, like featured listings or premium tools, but the core always stays free, and we'll never charge a worker a fee to get a job.

How does Hyrly keep everyone safe?

Safety is built into every step — which matters when people meet and work in homes and on doorsteps. Profiles are verified, ratings go both ways, and chat and calls are masked so your number stays private. A built-in safety check-in lets you share your live location with a trusted contact and raise an SOS with one tap, and you can report or block anyone, anytime.

How old do I have to be?

16 and over. If you're 16 or 17 we ask for a parent or guardian's consent before you can apply, and some jobs are restricted to 18+.

How do payments work?

For now, you and the other person agree payment directly. Secure in-app payments with instant payout on completion are coming soon, so the money side becomes as effortless as the matching.
