NearHire

Frequently asked questions

Is NearHire free to use? +

Yes — browsing and your first contact with any provider are free. If you want to connect with more pros, you can buy an affordable contact pack. We never take a commission on the work itself.

How does 'first contact free' work? +

Every account gets its first connection free. After that, connecting with a new provider uses one contact credit from a pack. Re-contacting someone you've already connected with is always free.

Do you take a commission? +

No. NearHire is a discovery platform — deals happen directly between you and the provider, and we don't take any cut.

How are providers verified? +

Providers can upload a government ID which our team reviews before granting the Verified badge. Every profile is also reviewed before it appears in search.

How do payments work? +

Contact packs are paid securely via Razorpay. Any payment for the actual work is arranged directly between you and the provider.

I'm a freelancer — how do I get listed? +

Create an account, choose 'freelancer' or 'agency', and complete your profile. Once approved it appears in local search and you'll start receiving free first contacts.

How do I get verified as a provider? +

Go to Settings → Get verified and upload your ID. Once approved you'll get the Verified badge and rank higher in results.

How do I delete my account? +

Settings → Security → Delete account. This permanently removes your profile, messages and data.
