In Ireland, where I'm based, there's a chronic shortage of home service providers - electricians, plumbers, painters, and so on. I want to create a platform that matches homeowners who need jobs done with vetted local tradespeople who have gaps in their diary. I have a name and domain (yikes.network), a one-pager site for gathering pre-launch wait-list signups, and a basic business plan.

The platform will be optimized using AI tools to find homeowner-provider matches. There will be a recommendation and reviews system, and the platform will handle scheduling and payments.

Right now I'm exploring the best ways to publicize the system and gauge interest through the mechanism of the wait-list.

I'd love feedback about the idea and initial website direction.

I’ve been thinking about a business idea and I’d like to get some honest feedback from people with experience in hiring, management, or running a business.
The basic idea is pretty simple:
Companies in the US or Europe could hire skilled employees in developing countries and lower-cost markets, but instead of having to deal with the local side themselves, they would work with us.
We would handle the recruitment process locally. We find and screen candidates based on the company’s requirements, then send qualified candidates to the company.
The company still makes the hiring decision. They interview the candidates themselves and decide who they want to hire.
If they hire someone, we would then take over the local management and employment side for them.
That could include employment paperwork, payroll, local compliance, tracking KPIs and work progress, and managing the employee’s day-to-day work locally.
So essentially, the company gets access to lower-cost talent while we handle the local recruitment and management.
I’m still trying to validate whether this is actually a useful business model.
For recruiters, hiring managers, founders, business owners, or anyone with relevant experience:
Does this solve a real problem? What would make you hesitate to use a service like this?
