Local Nerd jobs in Ada & South-Central-East Oklahoma
Ada is the hub of south-central Oklahoma, and this market runs from Ada out through Konawa, Stratford, Allen, Sulphur and Roff, then to Holdenville, Wewoka, Seminole, Pauls Valley and Coalgate. If you live in Pontotoc, Seminole, Hughes or Garvin County, this is the market you'd apply to, and the house calls are in your own town and the towns you already drive to.
Distances are measured from downtown Ada. The towns below sit in Pontotoc, Seminole, Hughes, Coal, Garvin and Murray counties. Every market reaches 75 miles from its downtown in three travel bands, and the farther bands pay a higher hourly rate because the drive is longer. You choose which bands you take, and you can change it later.

Not sure which market your town belongs to? Apply for the city nearest you and tell us where you live. The markets overlap on purpose, and you tell us which queues you want bookings from. What customers here are told is on the Ada page.
South-central Oklahoma is small-town work at its most straightforward. Ada is the hub, everything else is twenty to forty minutes out, and the roads are good. Expect older customers who want somebody to sit down and walk them through it, which is the part of this job people either love or don't, and the ordinary house calls: Wi-Fi, printers, new phones, TVs that stopped getting a channel.
You keep the majority of every booking, and every tip is yours. You see the split up front. Tips are paid out weekly, less only card processing and a small handling cost.
You set your own availability. Open the times that suit you in Nerd HQ. A few evenings a week or full time, that part is your call.
Bookings come through the Nerd HQ app. Customers book the open time you publish, with buffer time built in around each visit.
Nobody negotiates money at the door. Every booking takes a deposit up front and holds the card. The customer signs off on your phone at the end and the rest charges itself.
You're independent. Your own tools, any reliable and presentable vehicle, and free to work elsewhere whenever you like.
You have a team behind you. You get the Nerd HQ app, a direct line to HQ, a team that meets over video, and other Local Nerds to ask when something's strange.
No. Apply for this market and tell us your town and ZIP. Distances are measured from downtown Ada, but you can live in Seminole, Holdenville, Sulphur or anywhere else in the market.
Up to seventy-five miles, if you take all three bands: Ada and the towns around it in the first, Seminole, Holdenville, Pauls Valley and Coalgate in the second, and the far edge past Boley in the third. You choose which of those you take.
Apply online. About five minutes. No resume needed.
We read it. A real person reads every application, and if it looks like a fit, we reach out.
A short pre-screen on your phone. Two quick videos and one typed answer, about fifteen minutes. A person watches every one.
A fifteen-minute video call. To meet you and walk through the role together.
Background check, and we pay for it. Only after we've talked. You enter your details with the screening provider, never with us.
Onboarding, and you're live. Your Nerd HQ account, your hours and a short orientation, then your first booking.

This page describes an independent contractor opportunity and is not an offer of employment. Local Nerds are independent contractors, not employees: you set your own availability, use your own tools and vehicle, and are free to work elsewhere. Compensation is a revenue share paid on completed bookings. Nothing on this page guarantees any level of income or booking volume, in this market or any other.
