Our story
Hire-A-Mate was built by operators, not marketers. We run a portfolio of Australian service businesses across Sydney — from commercial cleaning crews and roof restorers to fencing and landscaping teams — and over the years we've come to know which local pros consistently deliver and which ones don't.
There was no easy way for Sydney customers to find reliable tradies without wading through fake reviews, ad-driven lead farms, and overseas-owned aggregators that charge businesses hundreds of dollars per lead. So we put the businesses we actually trust into one place, with full contact details, and opened it up to anyone who needs a job done.
What we stand for
- No pay-to-play. We don't accept payment in exchange for a listing. The only way onto the directory is by providing a great service to your customers.
- No commissions. When a customer contacts a business through Hire-A-Mate we take a 0% cut — the business keeps every dollar.
- Manual vetting. Every listing is reviewed for an active ABN, a working website, public-liability cover and reachable contact details before going live.
- Australian-owned. Every business listed is Australian owned and operated. We only list businesses we'd hire ourselves.
