The switch
Finding local help shouldn't take all day
How it works today
- You call five people from a friend's recommendation, three don't pick up, and the two who do are booked for a week.
- Workers sit idle while customers a few streets away are desperately searching for exactly their skill.
- No way to verify who's reliable until you've already hired them and hoped for the best.
- Payment negotiations happen in person with cash, creating awkward conversations and safety concerns.
How Local Jobs works
- Post your job in 60 seconds with your budget and timeframe—nearby workers get notified instantly.
- Workers see jobs within their area and skill set the moment they're posted, with full details upfront.
- Every profile shows ratings, completed jobs, and verified skills so you hire with confidence.
- Agree on price in the app, pay securely through M-Pesa, and funds release when the job is done right.
Everything You Need to Connect and Work
Workers only see jobs within their radius. Customers only get applications from people who can actually show up. No wasted time, no long commutes—just nearby people ready to work.
See completed jobs, star ratings, customer reviews, and verified skills before you hire. Workers build their reputation with every job, and great service gets rewarded with visibility.

What Our Community Says
I've been using Local Jobs for 8 months now and it completely changed how I find work. Before, I'd wait around hoping someone would call. Now I get job alerts every day and can choose the ones that fit my schedule. I've built a solid client base and my income has tripled.
As a small business owner, I need reliable people for deliveries and occasional repairs. Local Jobs makes it so easy—I post what I need, review profiles with ratings, and hire within hours. The M-Pesa integration is perfect for quick payments. This app saves me so much time.
I was skeptical at first, but the rating system really works. Every job I complete well gets me a 5-star review, which brings more customers. I'm now a top-rated cleaner in my area and get premium job offers. The Worker Pro subscription pays for itself every week.
Finding a good tutor used to mean asking around for weeks. With Local Jobs, I found three qualified tutors in one day, compared their profiles and reviews, and picked the best fit for my son. He's doing so much better in school now. Highly recommend this platform.
The in-app messaging is brilliant. I can discuss job details, negotiate price, and confirm everything before meeting in person. It's safe, transparent, and professional. I've completed over 100 jobs through Local Jobs and every transaction has been smooth.
I run a construction company and we use the Business plan to find skilled workers for different projects. The bulk posting feature and lower commission rate make it cost-effective. We've hired carpenters, masons, and laborers—all verified and reliable. Great platform.
Real Jobs. Real Results.
Grace found steady cleaning work in Nairobi
Challenge
Grace was relying on word-of-mouth referrals and often went days without work. She had no way to reach new customers beyond her immediate network, and income was unpredictable.
Solution
She created a Local Jobs profile, added her experience and availability, and started receiving job alerts within her neighborhood. Within a week she had three regular clients.
Results
Grace now averages 18 jobs per month, earns KSh 27,000 consistently, and has a 4.9-star rating from 42 completed jobs. She's booked two weeks in advance.
James hired a mechanic in under an hour
Challenge
James's car broke down on a Saturday morning. His usual mechanic wasn't answering, and he had no idea who else to call. He needed someone reliable, fast, and nearby.
Solution
He posted the job on Local Jobs with photos of the issue and a KSh 2,000 budget. Within 20 minutes, four mechanics applied. He picked one with great reviews two kilometers away.
Results
The mechanic arrived in 40 minutes, fixed the car in two hours, and James paid securely through M-Pesa. He saved the profile for future jobs and left a five-star review.
Sarah built a tutoring business in Mombasa
Challenge
Sarah had a teaching degree but no students. She tried posting flyers and asking at schools, but parents didn't know her and she had no way to prove her qualifications.
Solution
She set up a verified Local Jobs profile with her credentials, subjects, and hourly rate. Parents could see her background, read reviews, and message her directly to schedule lessons.
Results
In three months, Sarah went from zero students to 11 regular tutoring clients. She earns KSh 35,000 per month and has a waiting list for exam prep sessions.
Peter gets delivery jobs every single day
Challenge
Peter owned a motorbike but spent hours riding around looking for delivery gigs. Most days he'd make one or two trips, barely covering fuel costs.
Solution
He joined Local Jobs as a delivery worker, turned on job alerts, and started accepting orders from businesses and individuals who needed fast, local delivery.
Results
Peter now completes 6–8 deliveries daily, earns KSh 1,200–1,800 per day, and has built relationships with three shops that request him by name for their regular runs.
