Sri Lankan Startup OpenHire.lk Aims to Streamline the Search for Reliable Service Providers
OpenHire is a rising Sri Lankan startup designed to connect people with trusted local service providers through a transparent, commission free digital platform.
In a world where trust, transparency, and accessibility often feel like they're in short supply on local service platforms, OpenHire.lk steps in as a much-needed answer for Sri Lankans on the hunt for reliable service providers, whether it's for home repairs, construction, gardening, electrical work, plumbing, cleaning, or digital services.
OpenHire is all about simplicity and fairness. It allows service providers across Sri Lanka to list their services for free, connecting them with customers without any hidden fees or barriers. Unlike traditional platforms that hit you with listing fees or commissions, OpenHire is dedicated to empowering independent professionals who depend on daily or project-based work.
“OpenHire was created to level the playing field for service providers and to make it easier for people to find trustworthy services,” shared the platform’s founder. “There are no complicated steps, no unnecessary payments, just a straightforward connection between people and the professionals they need.”
The platform also brings in features that boost trust and accountability. Customers can rate and review service providers, while OpenHire ensures that providers can’t rate their own listings, which keeps feedback genuine and transparent. Plus, users get a personal dashboard to keep track of their favorite services, past interactions, and ratings.
For service providers, OpenHire offers a user-friendly dashboard where they can easily add, edit, or remove their listings. This makes it simple for professionals to maintain a polished online presence without needing any technical know-how.
Looking ahead, OpenHire plans to broaden its reach across various categories and roll out verified provider badges, advanced booking features, and improved communication tools to strengthen the bond between customers and providers.
As Sri Lanka’s digital landscape continues to evolve, OpenHire is positioning itself as a modern link between local talent and those who need their expertise, making everyday services more accessible, transparent, and trustworthy.
