Hey Product Hunt 👋 I'm Max, maker of HireLocal.
The problem: "who do I call for this?" is still unsolved. You have a symptom (no hot water, breaker keeps tripping), not a trade name. Most directories start from the trade, charge pros a monthly fee to exist, and cover one country.
What HireLocal does:
• Diagnose first. 426 "who to call for [problem]" pages plus an interactive symptom checker that ends at the right trade, the typical fix, and a quote form.
• 67,000+ provider profiles across the US, Poland, the Netherlands, Spain and Cyprus — in English, Spanish, Polish, Dutch and Russian.
• Real numbers, not vibes. 63 cost guides, 102 "do I need a permit?" guides, quarterly pricing reports, and a live 0–100 local demand score recomputed nightly.
• A Career Center. 16 "how to become a [trade]" hubs, 22 career-switch guides (IT → electrician, nursing → HVAC…), a 2-minute trade quiz, and a trade-school-vs-college ROI calculator. Because the shortage of tradespeople is the actual root cause of the "can't find a plumber" problem.
Business model, since PH always asks: free for homeowners. Free for pros to claim and manage a listing. $19 one-time — not a subscription — to get a Verified badge and show your phone/email/website publicly. That's it. No lead fees, no auctions.
Honest limits: Verified means the business claimed the listing and paid the one-time fee; it's not a background check. Ask me anything about where the listings come from — I'd rather answer that here than have you wonder.
What I'd love from you: try the symptom checker with whatever's actually broken in your place right now and tell me where it sends you wrong. And if you're a tradesperson or know one — claim your listing, it's free.
I'll be here all day answering everything.
