Open Job Market helps people find nearby tradespeople quickly — without lead selling, spam calls, or waiting days for replies.
Search professionals directly on a live map, contact them instantly, or post a job and receive applications from local tradespeople.
Unlike traditional platforms, tradespeople on Open Job Market can confirm when they are actively available for urgent work. This makes it much faster to find someone who can actually take the job today, not "maybe next week".

Why it's different
Most trade platforms are built around selling leads. Open Job Market is built around helping people find the right tradesperson as quickly as possible.
Instead of sending your job to dozens of companies and waiting for callbacks, you can immediately see who works nearby and who is currently available for urgent jobs.
That means
Faster responses
Less wasted time
Fewer unanswered calls
More local work for tradespeople
Better matches for both sides
Built for local work
Whether it's:
Urgent leak
Electrical issue
Boiler repair
Renovation project
Decorating work
Property maintenance
Open Job Market helps people connect with nearby professionals faster and more directly.
Good to know
Open Job Market is built around local work. When tradespeople find jobs nearby — or on the way home — there can be less unnecessary driving, less fuel used and fewer emissions.
Cars account for 76% of passenger travel distance in England, and road transport produces 89% of the UK's domestic transport greenhouse-gas emissions — so shorter, local trips add up.
Sources: UK Department for Transport — National Travel Survey and road traffic statistics; UK Department for Energy Security & Net Zero — 2024 provisional greenhouse-gas figures. “Open Job Market data” is the mean straight-line distance between a tradesperson's registered location and the job they selected. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee of savings on any individual job.
