Using WhoToHire

How it works

You search, you compare, you call them yourself. We are not in the middle of the transaction and we don't want to be.

  1. 01

    Pick the trade and where you are

    No account, no phone number, nothing to sign up for. Every list is public and every list is the same for everyone.

  2. 02

    Compare on evidence, not ads

    Every business is shown with the same checks applied, and with how often each check actually ran. Nobody can pay to move up the list.

  3. 03

    Contact them directly

    You get the business's own phone number and website. We are not in the middle, and we don't sell your details on.

Common questions

Does it cost anything?
No. There is no account, no fee and nothing to subscribe to. We don't sell your contact details, and we don't pass your enquiry to anyone.
Do you take a cut of the job?
No. We are not a lead-generation service. When you contact a business you are contacting them directly on their own number, and we never see whether you went ahead.
Can a business pay to rank higher?
No, and there is no product that would let them. Position is determined entirely by the published method. A business can ask us to correct its details, which changes accuracy but never position.
Where does the information come from?
Public sources: business registers, the businesses' own websites, open mapping data and public review platforms. Every listing shows what has been independently verified separately from what a business says about itself.
How often is it updated?
Verification checks run on a rolling schedule and every listing shows the date it was last confirmed. If a check hasn't run recently, the listing says so rather than implying it's current.
A listing about my business is wrong. What now?
Email us, or use the form on the For businesses page. Corrections and removals are free, there is nothing to sign up for, and neither one moves a listing up or down. You can also claim the listing: send a photo or screenshot that shows the business is yours, and once a person has checked it you can keep the phone number, website, opening hours, description and trading status right yourself, whenever you like. Claiming is free too, and it does not affect ranking either.
Why isn't my business listed?
Most often because we can't yet tell what it does. A business is only placed on a trade page when its own categories, its name and the services on its website agree well enough to be confident — someone reading 'best electricians in Perth' is about to let a stranger into their house, so a guess is worse than an omission. Around one in eight businesses we hold is withheld on that basis, along with retailers and suppliers, which are not people you hire to do a job.
