About EZHire

Why we exist
The gap was never
a lack of skill.
“I can find a plumber in ten minutes. I cannot find one I trust in ten days.”
Facilities manager, Osu · field interview, 2024
In most cities, hiring a tradesperson is a search problem. In Accra it is a trust problem wearing a search problem's clothes. The electrician two streets away is probably excellent — but there is no way to know that before inviting him into your home or onto your site.
So employers default to people they already know. Workers default to waiting. Both sides pay for the gap in time, in price uncertainty and in jobs that never happen.
EZHire closes the gap with a simple trade: you show who you are and what you do; we make that visible to the people who need it; every job leaves a record. No escrow, no commission, no middleman standing between the work and the pay.
What we optimise for
Four values that
survive a deadline.
Trust before scale
A marketplace that cannot be trusted does not deserve to grow. Verification, ratings and a written record come before everything else.
Dignity in the work
A plumber is not a 'resource'. Workers are shown with a name, a trade, a rate and a history — the same way any professional expects to be seen.
Local by default
Built in Accra around how people actually hire here: direct payment, WhatsApp in the mix, and a phone that may be the only computer someone has.
Clarity over cleverness
One price, one fee, one record. If a feature needs a paragraph to explain who pays whom, it is not ready.
The road so far
Slowly, then
on purpose.
We are not in a hurry to be everywhere. We are in a hurry to be right in the places we operate.
2024
The problem, written down
Three weeks of interviews with electricians, plumbers, cleaners and facilities managers in Accra. The same sentence kept coming back: you cannot find someone you can trust, when you need them.
2025
The first marketplace
Job posting, worker profiles, applications and a direct-payment model. No escrow, because the money was never the bottleneck — information was.
2026
The record becomes the product
Attendance, travel status, ratings and payment notes joined the job timeline. Employers stopped asking 'where is he?' and workers stopped repeating their whole history on every call.
Next
Across the region
The same contract — verified people, visible rates, a written record — extended city by city, without pretending every market hires the same way.
Trust & safety
What we check,
and what we do not.
Verification is about identity and trade claims. It is not a guarantee of workmanship — that is what ratings and the job record are for. We would rather say that plainly.
Report something
Every job has a support path. Email safety@ezhire.com with the job reference and we will review the record.
Government ID
Checked for every worker before the verified badge appears.
Completed-job ratings
Only tied to real jobs. Counts are always shown next to the score.
Named accounts
No anonymous listings on either side. A person is accountable for the work.
Data, kept minimal
Identity documents are used for review, not displayed to employers.
EZHire does not hold the job budget and cannot reverse a cash payment. Both sides should confirm the rate and scope in the job thread before work begins.
Contact

people who build it.
Support questions, partnership ideas, press or a bug that should not have shipped — it all reaches the same small team.
