Worksome is a platform that makes your recruitment of contractors quick, efficient, and agile: Both by letting you hire your trusted contracts but also by finding new contractors that you have not worked with before. Posting to Worksome's marketplace is the option you want to go for if you want to look for talent outside of your own portfolio of Trusted Contacts! Worksomes platform will automatically notify those contractors in the marketplace who are a match to what you are looking for.
That's all well and good, but how do I get started, you might ask? Great question, and in fact it's designed to be as easy as possible for you to find the best talent on our Marketplace.
You have one job to do
To get your search for freelance talent started all you need to do is to create a job on Worksome. Then the algorithm will do the rest of the work for you by matching talent to your job post. The interested candidates will reach out to you with an application and bid.
Everything you add in the job post will form the basis of the contract between your company and the contractor. It's two birds with one stone š
Let's get started!
1. Go to Job Posts
ā
2. Then click the 'New job post' button
Find Talent broadcasts a job across multiple channels (your Trusted Contacts, staffing agencies, or the public Marketplace) so new contractors can apply or be matched to it.
Direct Hire (to a Trusted Contact) - skips the open marketplace/matching flow entirely. You go straight to someone already in your Trusted Contacts and send them a Hire Offer, formalizing the engagement directly rather than posting for applicants.
In short: Find Talent = post and let candidates come to you; Direct Hire = you already know who you want and go straight to a contract offer.
3. As you are posting the job in Marketplace, select Find talent
Add title and select job owner:
ā
4. Add a comprehensive description of the project.
Next you will be prompted to add:
Job description
The description is also included as part of the contract between your company and the contractor you end up hiring. Therefore, the more detail you can add here the better.If you click Create and add brief job description, Worksome helps you generate a broader description and autofill the rest of the job post. Make sure to review.
Skills & Experience
The skills are very important as we use them for matching the job with relevant contractors. Also, the order of skills affects the matching so put the most important and specific first.
In this step, you also have to specify the level of seniority for your hire - Junior, Medior, or Senior ā and decide where the work should take place.
Documents
You can attach useful documents to the job for candidates.
Outline the availability
IMPORTANT: If part-time, remember to describe how many hours per week (roughly) you expect the contractors to work on your project.
Specify location details
Remuneration
Payment - hourly/daily/weekly/monthly/fixed rate
Budget type - radio choice between "Specific rate" or "Rate range"
Rate - expected budget for this rate
Please make sure that the job range you set and the rate you will agree on are exclusive of Superannuation and GST or VAT. All is handled outside of the platform and will be added on top of your invoice by Worksome.
Budget tracking (not shared with applicants)
Internal budget - net total budget for the role
Project - which project the job's costs should track against
Select settings to add number of workers and add/edit job owner
To compete your job post click Make available. This makes job post available for sharing with candidates, trusted contacts and staffing agencies. You can post the job on Worksome's Marketplace or in your own database (Trusted Contacts) or both. Both options allow you to either invite specific contractors or post for everyone to see and apply for the role.
To publish the job in the Market place click Add/Invite talent > Post job to Marketplace.
