Werkling is not a transactional gig platform. Why? We know that it can be kinda isolating working independently. We want to create a sense of belonging and inclusion for like-hearted giggers. Yes, if a gig lands on your lap it’s a lovely win but our Community membership is about so much more than the gigs.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

We are all ears! Drop your idea on the #water-cooler channel on Slack and see what others have to say. We are always looking for new and meaningful ways to add value to our Community Offering.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Werkling is different to those \u2018job board\u2019 style freelancing platforms out there. On those platforms, gigs are posted and talent members are in an application frenzy, which results in a lot of people (both talent and leaders!) investing a lot of time.\u00a0<\/p>

Over here, we know that time is precious and leaders just want to know who the best possible person is for the gig. Werkling provides on-demand talent recommendations to business leaders when they have an immediate need. \u200b Werkling talent are matched to gigs based on their talent profile, their referral strength, their past gig performance and their community contribution.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Nope. The only thing that comes out of your Werkling-generated revenue is your ThankBank contribution.

You sure can. Talented people know talented people. To refer someone as a Talent Member, just make sure you can answer a big old ‘Yes” to these three questions.<\/p>

1. Have you worked with them closely before?<\/p>

2. Are you itching to work with them again?<\/p>

3. Can you put your professional name to them?<\/p>

If so, refer away. You can refer talent by providing them with your customer referral link which is found in your Account Settings on the platform. Anyone is welcome to sign up as a Community Member.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Yes, we do. We typically check in once the gig has kicked off and then, at the end of the engagement, will send the Business leader a Gig Review Form. We ask the Business leader if they are ok with us sharing the feedback with the Werkling and as long as they give us the ok, we will share it with you. The feedback is not visible to any other talent, community or business member.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Definitely. We have had some great examples of WerkTeams (Werklings working in teams) who have delivered some exceptional outcomes.\u00a0 WerkTeams come about in a few different ways:<\/p>
