Why use SkillGigs for IT contract work?

Ability to choose

Before, you only saw jobs that recruiters from agencies decided to share with you. SkillGigs marketplace search allows you to explore all IT gigs. It’s your life, so it should be your choice. The job you want is only a BID away.

Pay transparency

Your pay, is your pay. SkillGigs will not cut rates to hike margin. Our fee covers the cost of the tech service, workers comp, weekly payroll, and the ability to provide you daily gig traffic to your profile. And better yet, you name your rate for the employers.

Get paid weekly

Say goodbye to delays in getting paid. If the contract your take is directly through SkillGigs, you will receive your earnings weekly, ensuring financial stability while on assignment. The payroll app is easy-to-use and is on-the-go with you 24/7.

We’re here to support you every step of the way. Our team are not traditional recruiters but a team of relationship managers and market managers providing you assistance as you need it.

Getting paid, what you deserve

Bid volume is a good thing

Getting blasted with bids means you are a top talent. Celebrate this as it means you are ripe with options and potential. You can always contact us to help you make the decision, but the bidding feature is what sets us apart from traditional recruiters. This shows you, without holding back, all the ways and places you can earn.

Start sending your own bids out

Successful IT contractors don’t want to miss out on peak opportunities. There is no stronger way to show your interest and intent than by sending a bid to an employer. Sending a bid sets the tone of your pay expectations and tells the company you are willing to take the initiative. And it speaks volumes — about you.

Here’s the steps to get started

1. Sign Up

Begin with the basics. Sign up by following the setup and early learnings. Once you sign up, you’ll automatically be prompted to create your very first skill listing.

2. Complete Profile

The goal is to get to a 100% completed profile to ensure the most matching potential. Upload your resume and other certification materials just once to make it easier to apply.

4. Bidding

Being a disruptor to traditional hiring means we are not a job board or a staffing agency. SkillGigs is the future of hiring with our bidding feature allowing you to reach out to potential employers.

4. Accepted offer

Congrats, on your latest gig! And the best part, is that you were in the driver seat the entire time. We have online support, 24/7 call support, as well as resource@skillgigs.com.

SkillGigs helped my confidence honestly. After you apply for so many jobs in the normal old fashioned way, and you either don’t get callbacks or it’s just a phone screening of someone who doesn’t really understand what it is you’d doing. That can, that can really get you down. But, with SkillGigs, all you get are the positives.
