At the heart of Werkling is our community
Let’s be honest -
the traditional employment model isn’t for everyone.
More and more talented humans (just like you!) are wanting to design their life and their work in a different way, and we’re here to help.
Have you heard about our Corporate Escapee Accelerator Program (CEAP)
How to become a Werkling community member
- If a Werkling community member or business leader is referring you, please ask them for a personal sign up link. This can be found in their Account settings on our platform.

- If you are not being referred by a Werkling community member or business leader, please complete this Expression of Interest (EOI) Form and join our waitlist.
We support our community in three ways
Werkling isn’t a transactional gig platform, we’re a living, breathing, active community and trusted partner to organisations. When you sign up to Werkling as a Community Member, you join a network of truly wonderful humans. We know that we’re better together, and as a community can achieve great things.
Belonging.
Join a community of like-hearted professionals and find your people.
We know that working as on-demand talent can be a little isolating at times, so we’re on a mission to reimagine what team, connection and inclusion looks like in the growing professional gig economy.
Advocacy.
We are a part of the next revolution of work, and so is our talent community.
We challenge organisations to think differently about how they design and resource work, shifting their thinking from talent acquisition to talent access. We have a voice and advocate for our community and the broader professional gig economy.
Opportunity.
Leaders know we have the very best on-demand talent within our community.
When you are in the Werkling community you are in the mix when an opportunity is briefed in. There are no certainties, and no promises, but you are in the mix. Our proven talent matching algorithm works and is trusted by leaders.
A Werkling membership gives you the opportunity to connect and collaborate with a brilliant community of like-hearted independent professionals. If you’re fabulous on-demand talent but it’s only the ‘Opportunity’ element that appeals to you, Werkling will not be the best fit.
Belonging is not just an “employee” thing. It’s a human thing.
We want our wonderful Werklings to thrive, both collectively and individually, in the professional gig economy. Our community offering touches on Wellness, Resources, Social and Learning.
Wellness
Our community’s wellbeing is important.
We provide a range of wellness product discounts and tools to help our community maintain a healthy work-life harmony. From fitness apps and meditation sessions to wellness workshops and mental health resources, we want our Werklings to be at their very best.
Resources
Our community can access the right tools.
We’ve organised discounts on a selection of software, technology, and business tools to help our members set up and streamline their operations. Whether it’s discounted business insurance or a library of recommended tech tools, we’ve got you covered.
Social
Our community come together virtually and IRL.
We facilitate ways to connect and build lasting relationships with like-hearted professionals. From virtual sessions and meet-ups, to in-person dinners and Christmas parties, we create a fun and welcoming space for our members to belong.
Learning
Our community is committed to peer learning.
We provide a range of channels to help our community members learn from one another. This includes access to workshops, learning circle, events and platforms to share knowledge and insights.
Kind words from our community
Unfortunately, Werkling is not currently accepting new Community Members outside of peer-referred on-demand talent
If you are peer-referred via an existing Werkling member, please ask them for a referral link or indicate your referral on the Community EOI and we will be in touch. If you are not peer-referred but are interested in joining the Werkling, please complete this Community EOI.
Werkling is different to those ‘job board’ 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.
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. Werkling talent are matched to gigs based on their talent profile, their referral strength, their past gig performance and their community contribution.
Our community membership is $19.95+GST/month.
If you are matched to an opportunity, the only amount deducted from your project revenue is 1% that is put into our social impact program, WerkinKind.
