Frequently asked questions

Yes — Leadly supports the United States and Canada. Search jobs and clients with a US ZIP code or a Canadian postal code (like A1A 1A1), and employers post pay in USD or CAD.

Never. Applying is free, and no legitimate employer will ask you to send money, buy a starter kit, or pay a training fee. Anyone who does should be reported immediately — Leadly also warns you automatically when a message looks like a payment scam.

Unsafe job categories (like alcohol, weapons, gambling, and hazardous work) are blocked platform-wide; listings are screened automatically; messaging stays in the app with scam warnings; contact details are never public; and every job and conversation can be reported for human review.

Yes. Find Clients scans real local businesses near you, scores each as an opportunity for your skills using AI, and drafts the outreach email, DM, and project plan for you — free to start.

Leadly is a mobile-first app for finding and posting local jobs. You can find nearby work, post a job for someone to help with, apply safely, and message people directly in the app — and freelancers can also find local clients for their skills.

Enter your ZIP code and Leadly shows nearby opportunities — part-time roles, remote work, company jobs, and neighbor-posted gigs — sorted by what's relevant to you.

Yes. Anyone can post a job in a few taps — add the details, pay, and schedule, and nearby helpers can see it and apply. You can reuse a past post anytime.

All contact happens through in-app messaging. When someone applies or wants to connect, you message them inside Leadly — no phone numbers or emails are shared unless you choose to share them in the conversation.

Yes. Leadly is free to start — create an account, find work, and post jobs at no cost.

Leadly keeps every conversation in-app, so you don't have to share your phone number or email to get started. For any in-person work, we remind users to meet in public and, if they're under 18, to involve a parent or guardian.

Typical listings are neighborhood jobs teens can actually do: babysitting, dog walking, pet sitting, lawn care and yard work, tutoring, snow shoveling, car washing, errands, and tech help — plus part-time and summer roles posted nearby.

Leadly is built for teens, students, and young adults. Younger teens (14–15) can find age-appropriate neighborhood work like babysitting, pet care, or yard work, and should involve a parent or guardian. Work rules vary by state, so check your local requirements for anything beyond casual neighborhood jobs.

Start with neighborhood jobs that don't require a resume — babysitting, lawn care, dog walking, or tutoring a subject you're good at. On Leadly you enter your ZIP code, apply in-app, and message the poster directly; doing a few local jobs well builds the references you'll use for your first part-time job.
