A customer nearby sends a request — they describe the job, when they need it, and where they are. Needed matches it to pros in the area. If you're one of them, you see the full details in your dashboard.
You decide whether to respond. If the job fits, you spend credits to make contact. If it doesn't, you move on. No charge, no penalty.
A maximum of 3 pros can respond to any request. That means less competition per lead and a real chance of winning the work — not a race to the bottom.
Every lead shows you the full picture before you spend a single credit. No hidden details. No vague descriptions you have to chase down.
What you see before responding:
"Kitchen sink has been draining slowly for a week, now fully blocked. Double sink. No dishwasher connected. Ground floor, easy access."
Seeing leads is free. Getting listed is free. There's no monthly subscription, no minimum spend, and no contract.
The only cost is credits — and you use them when you decide to contact a customer. You see the credit cost upfront, before you commit. After contact, you deal with the customer directly. What they pay you is yours. All of it.
If a lead doesn't work out — the customer doesn't answer, the number is invalid, or the request doesn't match your service — you can request a credit refund through your dashboard. We have a clear refund policy because we don't want you paying for dead leads.
Credit costs vary by service and urgency. You always see the cost before you respond. Buy credits when you want, use them when you want, stop when you want.

Needed is live and growing across New Zealand — town by town, service by service. In areas where we're still building coverage, the first pros to join get every request in their area. No competition until more pros sign up.
That window closes as coverage grows. If you're in an area where Needed is still early, this is the best time to join.
If yours isn't here, get in touch. We reply fast.
