a place for ON-DEMAND TALENT
Werkling began because they were both looking for the same thing.
Werkling was born from a belief. We believed that there was another way work could work. We too kept seeing the continued cycling of recruit-retain-retrench-recruit-retrain and burnout being BAU. Werkling’s founder Michelle Fotheringham (who at the time was loving the On-Demand Talent life herself) wondered what would happen if lone talent came together to make it easier for Leaders to find them.
With little effort, Michelle brought together more and more crazy-talented humans who had moved out of in-house roles and created another way they could add value to organisations and each other.
With the Werkling Community growing, Michelle didn’t need to go far to find there were Leaders crying out to know where they could go to find someone who would come in and get the work done.
Leaders typically knew who they needed or what they needed, but finding the right person was only adding to the workload.
Werkling began to connect the two sides of the same coin. Since the beginning, Werkling is working with Leaders to lighten the load by finding the right-fit On-Demand Talent every time.
