ON-DEMAND TALENT | PEOPLE. CHANGE. COMMS.
The who's who of who you want in your zoo network.
Werkling’s where Leaders come when their team is at capacity or they need a specialist skill set for a specific project.
WHO YOU NEED WHEN YOU NEED THEM.
We listen and handpick the right human for you.
Leaders land here for one of two reasons — they’re either looking to get something off their plate by someone who can pick it up and run with it or they’re looking for someone with a special skill set that they only need sometimes. At Werkling we’re kinda different because we’re less Temp and more Talent. Specifically, Werkling connects Leaders with On-Demand Talent.
On-Demand Talent
noun
- a professional with a specialist set of skills and practical know-how typically gained through deep in-house experience.
- a professional talent pool used by Leaders to increase their team’s capacity or to bring in a capability to deliver a specific outcome.
- a professional engaged by Leaders to deliver their services within a set scope and timeframe, aka a Gig.

ACCESSING ON-DEMAND TALENT
More Capability. More Capacity.
When you need something sometimes.
We stream on-demand all the time outside of work — it’s now a very normal human thing. At work, engaging On-Demand Talent for a specific need at a specific time is just as normal.
Leaders wanting to engage On-Demand Talent typically come to Werkling with one of two needs – they either need more of the same skills in their team (capacity) or they need a specific skill in their team (capability).
Getting started is made easy because we know you may or may not know exactly who you need in the beginning…we got you.
Sometimes a Gig Brief can sound like...
‘I need a P&C tech gun to help us implement our new HRIS over the next few months.’
‘I need someone who’s a wiz with elearning and who will take what we currently have and turn it into something super engaging.’
‘I need a A+-non-corporatey facilitator to run our front line leadership program.’
‘I need a rem specialist to help us design and develop an incentive program before EOFY.’
‘I need a seasoned P&C professional with good availability (and NFP experience) who can help fill some gaps in our business partnering team.’
And, sometimes a Gig Brief can sound like...
‘Our policies are a little outdated, both in terms of meeting legislation and in the way they read. We need help updating them all.’
‘We’re struggling to attract and retain grads. We need help designing an amazing grad experience.’
‘Our leadership program is a bit old school. We need help creating an engaging, energising, educational way to support leaders.’
‘We have a huge transformation program coming up and we’ll need a bunch of support implementing the changes.’
‘I need to flex up my Talent Acquisition team during busy periods.’
“Within 24hours, Werkling matched us to amazing On-Demand Talent that quickly stepped in and took the pressure off our team. Game changer.”

OUR APPROACH
We’re ready to work with you.
We can match how soon you need On-Demand Talent in your team. Some like it quick (the quickest has been two days) and some like it a little slower to explore what they need.
We work with you from end-to-end. We can help you to nut out what you need and who you need to do it. We’re with you all the way so that you can get to getting the work done.
We know the humans we match with you. Each human is handpicked because we have the evidence they have the related and relevant hands-on experience. And we know they want to work with you!
“Thank goodness for Werkling… this [People] project needed someone at very short notice to do an important and time critical piece of work. Not only has the On-Demand Talent met our deadlines but their quality and dedication was excellent.”

ON-DEMAND TALENT CAPABILITIES
Connected in our community.
Werkling works a little different because we connect with our On-Demand Talent a little differently.
While Werkling is here for Leaders, we’re also a space supporting On-Demand Talent to come together.

The numbers that tell us that Werkling’s (actually) working for Leaders…

Gigs
Total Gig Value
Some like it quick.
“I just love that you matched me to the exact person I need so quickly.”
When the need’s clear and the connection is made, things can move as fast (or as slow) as you need (some need it yesterday, while others are still working through their org approvals). Our experience keeps telling us that after the first time working with Werkling, Leaders like to continue to use On-Demand Talent as one way their work can get done.
The more each Leader works with Werkling, the more Werkling learns what works for the Leader and their organisation.
REALLY HUMAN.
Meet our Head Human Handpicker.
“You always know exactly who I need.”
We’d like you to meet Michelle. Michelle’s the ultimate gig-matcher and is one of those people who genuinely loves bringing together the right people at the right time.
Having worked in in-house roles, as well as working as On-Demand Talent, and having matched hundreds of gigs with hundreds of Leaders (and counting!) … Michelle is the best person to listen to each Leader and talk with On-Demand Talent to match the right match.
We invite you to…
CASE STUDY
Gig Brief
‘We’re going through a lot of change and are introducing an innovative learning experience platform to support our leaders. The launch date is fast approaching and the team’s stretched between this and several other large projects. We need extra support designing the learning pathways and launch activities.’
Talent Matched
The Leader was matched with On-Demand Talent who had previously worked on a number of learning design and learning platform projects. The On-Demand Talent was briefed to pick up the identified critical project elements and to relieve some of the work pressures from the team during times of competing org priorities.
Impact
The On-Demand Talent delivered within scope, budget, and the planned timeline which resulted in the reduced need for additional work hours by the team and freed up resources to be allocated in other parts of the project.
