Disclaimer & safety
We introduce people. We don't do the work.
Mahkit Hire is a directory run by OnTap Solutions. Workers listed here are independent. They are not our employees, agents or contractors. Any agreement about a job is between the customer and the worker.
We don't guarantee that a worker is available, that the work will be done well, or that a customer will pay. We don't set or check prices.
What our badges mean, and don't mean
Photo, location and at least one reference were added and looked at by our team.
We saw an ID document that matched the name and photo, on the date it was checked.
We saw a certificate from the named school or body (for example ITVET), and checked it with them where we could.
Levels come from jobs confirmed by different customers on Mahkit Hire. "Years of experience" is stated by the worker.
A badge is not a background check, a licence or a guarantee about a person's character or work. Always use your own judgement.
Staying safe: for customers
- Look at their work, references and confirmed jobs. For bigger jobs, ask for someone you can call.
- Agree the price, materials and timing before work starts, ideally in writing (a WhatsApp message counts).
- Avoid paying the full amount up front. Never share bank passwords or card PINs.
- For work in your home, let someone know who is coming and when.
- Childcare: meet the person first, check their ID badge and references, and start with a short trial while you're nearby.
- Electrical, building and roofing: some work needs a licensed person or a permit. Ask, and check.
Staying safe: for workers
- Check who is asking: their profile shows how long they've been on Mahkit Hire and their confirmed hires.
- Tell a friend or family member where you're going. Meet in public first if something feels wrong.
- Agree the price before you start, and keep the WhatsApp messages.
- You can decline any request. Report anyone who makes you uncomfortable.
