Service Bees — do great work, get paid fairly
You are brilliant at your trade. BeeHires brings you a steady stream of well-briefed expat projects, lets you bid for free, and only ever asks for a small share of the work you actually get paid for.
BeeHires is a multilingual marketplace that connects expats on Spain's Costa del Sol (Málaga province) with vetted, bilingual Bees who coordinate trusted local service providers.
What this is
Service Bees are the electricians, plumbers, builders, gardeners and specialists who make projects real. You are the hands that do the work.
BeeHires connects you with expat clients on the Costa del Sol who have described exactly what they need — so you spend your time quoting real jobs and doing them, not hunting for leads across a language barrier.
What you get
Real jobs, clearly described
Projects arrive already briefed and structured. You know the scope before you spend a minute on a quote.
A simple bid editor
Build an itemised offer from the opening estimate, adjust it to the real job, and send it in a few clicks.
Paid directly
Clients pay you by bank transfer for your work. No platform sits between you and your money.
A profile that works for you
Your portfolio, reviews and reputation grow with every job and bring the next one to your door.
Why tradespeople choose the hive
There is plenty of good work on the Costa del Sol for a reliable professional. The hard part has been reaching expat clients and being understood. BeeHires closes that gap — respectfully, and in your favour.
Bilingual bridge
Talk to the client in the language you prefer; the platform keeps everyone understood. No more jobs lost to translation.
Fair and transparent
You see the fee and your tier rate before you bid. No surprises, no hidden cuts.
Your reputation travels
Great reviews follow you across the hive, so doing good work directly earns you more of it.
Start free, grow when ready
Begin on the free tier and subscribe only when the extra reach and lower fee clearly pay for themselves.
How you get paid
Bidding is free and unlimited. You keep what you earn and only share a small service fee with the platform on work you actually invoice and get paid for.
Free, unlimited bidding
Bid on as many jobs as you like for nothing. No credits, no per-bid fees, no gate in front of the work.
A fee only when you're paid
The service fee applies to work you invoice and are paid for — invoiced to you as the money comes in, job by job.
Your tier, your rate
Free members share a higher reference rate; Forager, Worker and Queen each lower it. Your rate is fixed the moment a job is broadcast to you.
See work sooner
Higher tiers see new jobs earlier and get a matching uplift — so a subscription earns its keep in the jobs it wins you.
Reference rates today: free 15%, Forager 10%, Worker 7.5%, Queen 5%. Set by the platform and shown to you before every bid.

Service Bee questions
What is a Service Bee?+

How much does it cost to bid?+
Nothing. Bidding is free and unlimited on every tier. You only share a fee on work you are actually paid for.
When is the fee charged?+
Only on paid work. The platform's service fee is invoiced to you as your clients pay, invoice by invoice — never up front.
Do I have to subscribe?+
No. You can work on the free tier. Forager, Worker and Queen simply lower your fee, show you jobs earlier, and lift your ranking.

Clients pay you directly by bank transfer for your work. The platform never holds your money.
