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 😊

Let's get started!

(It should look like the window below)
​

See example below: Senior Project Manager, Copenhagen, Onsite, 6 months.

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.

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.

5. Outline the scope

The first step is to tell the contractors what type of role you are looking to fill.

You have 3 options: one-time project, on-going part-time or full-time contractor.

IMPORTANT: If part-time, remember to describe how many hours per week (roughly) you expect the contractors to work on your project.

In this step, you also have to specify the level of seniority for your hire and decide where the work should take place. You have three options regarding location: At Location Only (On-site), Local remote, or 100% remote.

Location selection is important since it specifies where the consultants are located and who matches the job.
​

Next up, you'll see the below screen This is where you define when the project is starting and finishing. This info will also be part of the final contract.

You also have to decide how you'd like to pay and select a price range.
You have 3 options: Hourly rate, daily rate, monthly or select 'not sure' if you just want contractors to send you a bid.

Please make sure that the job range you set and the rate you will agree on are exclusive of Superannuation and GST. Both are handled outside of the platform and will be added on top of your invoice by Worksome.
​

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.

If you have selected to post your job on Worksome's Marketplace your job is now pending approval. If everything is good to go, your job will be approved right away. If we need further info before we can publish and approve the post, you'll be contacted by your dedicated Customer Success Manager ASAP.

As always you can contact us via our live chat or email hello@worksome.com. We are more than happy to help you get started 😊.
