Scaling and automating cleaning business, "Uber" of Cleaning

[martinz1995]

Hi all so I have a cleaning business and I'm planning to scale the client side with a Zapier automation which is basically:

Client visits website --> chooses their specifications on form e.g. 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom --> receive automated quote --> book and pay --> automated calendar finds a cleaner for the job --> cleaner does job --> client receives follow up link to rebook (if they want).

However on the staff side I wouldn't really know how to scale it. Usually I before I even officially hire a staff member I'd have to test them by getting to do 2-3 trial cleans (and I have to tell the clients too that this is a trainee so if they aren't happy I'll refund them)-->then if they pass I send them an official contract --> add them to rostering/accounting software--> then deliver equipment, uniform to them so they can begin working.

But I'm thinking that this all a bit complicated. What if I just create something like a Cleaning marketplace similar to Uber/UberEats? There are a few that already exist but I think this would mean it is much easier to scale. It would also make sense because cleaning staff are mostly international students and immigrants in my country so it is much easier to just match them to someone who can speak their language. Marketing is also fairly easy. The only issue is screening them properly e.g. checks, ID etc. but I think Uber/UberEats has something quite similar. I wouldn't have to buy equipment, uniforms etc. and would only have to market it well.
