SkillhoodEindhoven · free · English and Dutch
Help around the corner, right on the map.
Skillhood is a free app that connects you with people nearby who can help: with cleaning, dog walking, odd jobs, tutoring and more. You see what they charge and what others thought, and send a request.
Free for everyone. No subscription, no commission.
Need help?
Search the map or a list, or say in your own words what you are looking for. You see prices and reviews straight away and send a request for free.
How to find helpOffer help?
Put your skill on the map with your own price, hours and area. People nearby send you requests, and you pay nothing.
For providersFinding help
Three ways to find what you need
You do not need an account to look around. You only sign in when you send someone a request.
On the map
Every pin is someone nearby, with their price on it. Tap a pin for reviews, availability and the Book button.
In a list
Everything in one list, sorted by distance, price or rating, with the latest review for each skill.
In your own words
Type “dog walk, tomorrow afternoon” or take a photo of the problem, and the app sets the right skill and time. Or simply pick a category.
Everything you need to choose, on one page.
Every skill has its own page: who offers it, what it costs, reviews from real bookings and when they are free. Ask the provider a question first, or send a request straight away. You pay each other directly; Skillhood takes nothing.
Why Skillhood
Made for the neighbourhood
The map first
Open the map, even without an account, and see the skills near you with their prices.
Free, no commission
No subscription, no booking fee and no commission. Providers set their own prices and you pay them directly.
English and Dutch
The whole app works in both languages, and a chat message translates with one tap. Handy if you are new in Eindhoven, or your neighbours are.
Trust built in
Reviews only after a completed booking. Phone numbers stay hidden in chat until a booking is accepted, and you can keep your address hidden until then too. Report and block are one tap away.
A photo says enough
Take a photo of the problem and Skillhood fills in your request; you check it. For gas, sparks or smoke you see the emergency numbers first.
Nothing found? Ask
Post a request with what you need and when. Helpers nearby reply in the chat, and you choose.
For providers
Offer your skill
Students, freelancers and neighbours put a skill on the map in a few minutes, and get requests from people nearby.
Switch over in five minutes
Paste your profile text, or a link to your profile on another platform or your website. The app finds your services and prices, even when you offer several; you check everything.
Your price, your hours
You set your own price, working hours and area. No fee per client and no commission.
Show your work
Every skill has a photo of your own work and its own page you can share anywhere.
What can you ask for?
A few popular categories. Your job is not listed? Pick “Something else” and describe it yourself; more categories are coming.
Questions
What does Skillhood cost?
Nothing, for clients and for providers. There is no subscription, no booking fee and no commission. You pay the provider directly.
How do I pay the provider?
However you agree together: cash, a payment request or a bank transfer. Skillhood does not handle payments.
Where does it work?
In Eindhoven and around it. Skills that work online, such as tutoring, reach you anywhere in the Netherlands and Belgium. More Brabant cities follow.
How do I know someone can be trusted?
You see reviews that can only be written after a completed booking, whether a provider had their ID checked, and whether someone cancelled late before. You can report or block anyone, with one tap.
Are providers checked?
Not in advance: anyone aged 18 or over can put a skill on the map. A provider can have their identity checked and show a VOG (the Dutch certificate of conduct); you see that as a label on the profile. Beyond that, read the reviews, which only come from real bookings, and ask your questions in the chat first.
What if something goes wrong?
Message the other person in the app first; the chat is the record. If someone did not show up, cancel the booking and pick that reason, and it stays on their profile. Anyone can be reported or blocked with one tap, and support@skillhood.app is read by a person and answered within one working day. Skillhood is the go-between: the agreement and the payment are between you and the provider.
Why is it free?
Clients and providers never pay to find, message or book each other. Skillhood plans to earn later from employers who help new colleagues settle in, and from optional extras for providers. Never from a fee on your booking.
Who is behind it?
Skillhood is a trade name of Gone With Us Studio, a sole proprietorship in Eindhoven (KvK 42074981). The app is built and tested in Eindhoven, with real neighbours as its first users. All company details and contact addresses are on the contact page.
I already offer services on another platform. Do I start from scratch?
No. When you create your skill, paste your profile text or a link, and the app fills in the title, description and price. You check everything before it goes on the map, and add a photo of your own work.
How do I delete my account?
In the app under Profile → Legal & Privacy, or without the app on this page.
When can I download the app?
Skillhood is coming soon to the App Store and Google Play. Once it is there, you will find the buttons on this page.
Every pin is someone from your neighbourhood.
Free for everyone, on iPhone and Android.
