How to Sign Up

Creating an account on Hire Local is the first step to either hiring local experts or offering your services. The process is simple, but there are two types of accounts — one for Customers and one for Experts.

You must use a different email address if you want to create both an Expert and a Customer account. This avoids confusion and keeps job history separate.

Step-by-Step: Creating an Account

Go to hirelocal.co.nz
Click “Sign Up” in the top-right corner
Choose either: “I need to hire” (Customer account) — “I offer services” (Expert account)
Fill out the required fields: Name — Email address — Password — Location
Agree to the terms and click “Register”

After You Sign Up

You’ll be redirected to your dashboard where you can:

Customers: Post your first job or browse experts
Experts: Set up your profile and choose a subscription plan

Email Confirmation
