How do I list my business on Handy?

Nov 14, 2023

Handy works by connecting you with clients who need your services. There's no need to list your business on Handy. However, as an application, you're required to undergo a screening process and background check before getting access to jobs in your city. 

How Do I List My Business on Handy?

You need to fill out an application to get started with Handy. Follow the steps below to apply as a professional on Handy:

  1. Go to the applications page on the main website. 
  2. Fill out the required information. Enter your first and last name, email address and zip code. 
  3. Select the household service you're applying for in the drop-down menu and click Get Started. 
  4. Follow the on-screen instructions on how to apply as a professional on Handy.

Handy receives thousands of applications each day and if you're approved, you get an email with details for next steps. All applications are reviewed, so wait for the email from Handy and don't submit a new application. 

An advantage professionals get from working for Handy is choosing when they want to work and how much work they do. What's more, you can earn bonuses by completing exceptional work. Additionally, you don't have to worry about payments as they're directly deposited into your bank account after job completion. 

How Handy's Screening Process Works

To increase your chances of getting accepted as a Handy professional, provide detailed personal information and validation of your experience. All applications need to undergo credential verification, and Handy uses computer vision technology to verify applicants. 

After verification, all applicants are background checked to ensure they don't have offenses that might disqualify them from using the Handy platform. If you own a small company or are a contractor, you might need to perform a number of jobs before passing a background check. If you have questions about applying as a professional with Handy, please contact Customer Support. 

How Do Handy Payments Work? 

You're paid for all jobs you've completed the previous Monday through Sunday plus any tips. Relevant fees are deducted from your pay. Payments are sent weekly (for the jobs you've completed the previous week) and they usually reach your bank account the next Monday. That means you may have to wait one to two weeks to get your pay. 

Professionals have the option to get paid early by turning on the Daily Cash Out feature. When it's on, earnings Are calculated at midnight and sent at 5 a.m. the next day. It may take up to 3 business days for your earnings to reach your bank account. However, using the daily cash-out feature also comes with a $1.99 a day fee. 

If you're already a tenured professional, you can also take advantage of the Cash Out feature, allowing you to receive $50/£50 or more in a regular batch payment. There's a fee for using this feature. Have more questions about this feature or getting paid for your services? Contact Handy Customer Support

Why does GetHuman Write How-to Guides for Handy Problems?

GetHuman has been working for over 10 years on sourcing information about big organizations like Comcast in order to help customers resolve customer service issues faster. We started with contact information and fastest ways to reach a human at big companies. Particularly ones with slow or complicated IVR or phone menu systems. Or companies that have self-serve help forums instead of a customer service department. From there, we realized that consumers still needed more detailed help solving the most common problems, so we expanded to this set of guides, which grows every day. And if you spot any issues with our What do I do if my Xfinity TV or internet is out? guide, please let us know by sending us feedback. We want to be as helpful as possible. If you appreciated this guide, please share it with your favorite people. Our free information and tools is powered by you, the customer. The more people that use it, the better it gets.
