Professionals on HandNorth are independent contractors, not employees. They set availability, write their own all-in quotes, and carry their own licence and insurance. HandNorth is the marketplace: the job lead, the chat, verification, and escrow when Stripe is live.
1 What that means for homeowners
You are hiring the pro, not “a HandNorth worker.” Check the name, the RBQ or licence note, and the insurer on the job. Reviews come from real jobs. We do not write fake testimonials.
2 What that means for pros
You are responsible for tax, CNESST or the equivalent, and the quality of the visit. You keep 100% of the job; HandNorth is paid by a Pro subscription. Apply on Become a pro.
3 Canada and the U.S.
Employment law differs by province and by U.S. state. This page is how the product is built, not a ruling from a court. If a local rule says otherwise, that rule wins.
Questions people ask
- Can a company apply, or only an individual?
- Both. The apply form has individual and company. The licence and insurance still have to match the work.
