How it works

Three steps. No interviews, no agency.

From posting a task to a worker on the way — usually the same afternoon.

1
Post

Post your task

Describe the job in plain English or Spanish — "necesito 2 meseros el sábado" works. Set your date, area, and budget.

2
Match

Matched workers get texted

Every registered worker matching the skill, distance, and schedule gets one SMS. They reply with their price — sealed, no bidding wars.

3
Pick

Pick your offer

Compare price, rating, jobs completed, and distance. One tap accepts. Contact details unlock and the job is on.

Shifts for your business, help for your home

Businesses staff a shift or cover a call-out. Homeowners hire a painter, gardener, mover, or handyman for a one-time job.

The honest math

A better deal than the middleman

Staffing agencies mark up wages 25–45%. Lead sites charge $25–75 per shared lead that may never answer. OnSMS doesn't.

◎ OnSMS

  • First 2 hires free, then a flat $15 per hire
  • Workers keep 100% — they name their price
  • Sealed price offers back in minutes
  • You pick from real, matched workers
  • Bilingual EN/ES · cancel anytime

The old way

  • 25–45% markup on every hour worked
  • $25–75 per shared lead that may never reply
  • Days of phone tag and no-shows
  • Locked contracts and minimums
  • A middleman setting the wage

Simple, honest pricing

Pay only when you hire. No monthly fees, no wage markup, ever. Businesses get their first 2 hires free; homeowners pay just $15 per job, no subscription.
