We were tired of the chaos.So we built something better.

oddjobs.im started by fixing a very real problem on the Local - the old, unreliable way of finding and hiring tradespeople. That foundation is still rock solid.

Constant delays, broken promises, poor communication, and frustration had become the norm. Good tradies were getting buried, and customers were getting let down.

So we built a better system - then opened more doors.

oddjobs.im is now a local professional platform with seven clear paths: Home & trades, Marketplace, Property, Health, Legal, Teachers and Careers. Different journeys, one company. We never dump plumbers, clinics, solicitors and agency vacancies into the same public job feed.

Trades - the full local workflow: interest when scope is fuzzy, site visits when someone needs to look, and multiple estimates when you’re ready to compare and award one winner. Plans run Apprentice (trainee badge on bids) → Trade → Pro → Elite, plus Small Business for multi-crew firms. Diary, week-ahead digests, multi-skilled matching, letterheaded estimates on Pro/Elite, public shopfronts, free trial then PayPal plans. Customers always post free. No commission on the job. In partnership with Ortally.com, tradies can also connect easy accounting and bookkeeping at affordable prices (optional - separate from OddJobs membership).

Health - practices and clinicians get a dedicated medical workspace. Customers browse and request appointments. Not a public symptom board. Not a clinical records system. Not for emergencies.

Legal - firms and solicitors get a chambers-style workspace. Clients browse and request consultations. Not a public matter board. Not case-management software.

Teachers - tutors, driving instructors and educational teachers get a Learning workspace. Learners browse and request private lessons. Not a public homework board. Not a school MIS.

Careers - find island roles via partner recruitment agencies on the public Careers door. Browse and filter vacancies, then apply with a warm referral to the agency - not a public CV dump or free-for-all job board. Careers is open to agencies who want to partner: each agency gets its own workspace for feed, branding, referrals and sync - not an exclusive single-agency seat.

We also ship like a serious tech company for a local problem: multi-language public pages, polished dashboards, and OJ - a free in-app helper that answers how-to questions and can open the right screen (not a bolted-on marketing chatbot).

oddjobs.im is developed and run by Interactive Enterprises Limited (Company No. 137228C), an advanced technology company based on the Local that specialises in building sophisticated digital platforms and intelligent systems.

Our team brings together deep technical expertise with real-world experience of major property renovation projects in UK. That combination is why we understand local problems so clearly - and keep shipping features that match how work is won and delivered here - custom built and locally owned.

Proudly built on the Local, for the Local.
