What are our customers and the press
saying about Werkadoo?

 

Our Customer's Words Mean Most To Us:

"Werkadoo worked great for me. I posted a project on the website and had two professionals that were perfect for my needs within a week. Not only did Werkadoo help me find the right people quickly and cheaply, they helped me get started in the hiring process when I would have been lost on my own. I ended up hiring two professionals my posting was matched to even though I only had one open position. I will certainly use Werkadoo again for my hiring needs."

 

"I was in desperate need of an assistant, and came to Werkadoo with my open position. They were able to turn around and bring me matches within one day, and I made a hire on the spot. They were quick and fantastic! "

 

"I had worked a few temporary jobs here and there, but was in search of a job that I truly enjoyed. A friend told me about Werkadoo, and I decided to log on and give it a try. I had never heard of a site that would match me to positions based on my resume and my personality, so it definitely had me interested. In the end, I was matched to an event planning position and got hired! I'm extremely happy in my current work and am thankful for Werkadoo for helping get me in the door. "

 

"I moved to Houston in January 2010 after living in Fairbanks, Alaska for three years. My job search started in all the usual places like newspapers and Craigslist but I added Twitter to the mix and as soon as I did that I realized that there are a lot of opportunities for contract work. I stumbled across Werkadoo in one of my late-night online internet "job search" crawls. I fired off an email and heard back from Teddy early the next morning. I had met with the potential client, his partner, and booked the job within ten days.


I was impressed with the Werkadoo site and concept immediately. Since I already had a couple of "contract" or freelance jobs it was really my Werkadoo experience that started me thinking about taking on that kind of employment full-time. My husband and I love to travel, and he will travel for his job as an exploration geologist, so freelance/gig work compliments our lifestyle. I worked from home in Alaska and I enjoyed the freedom it gave me to travel the state, explore the community, and engage in new hobbies (like my serious cross-country skiing addiction).


Werkadoo matches skills with a project rather than a person with a "job" so it immediately seemed more intuitive to me than just submitting a resume for a job with a description that you think "might" be right . I've stopped thinking of myself as an employee - I no longer work "for" but "with" and that suits me much better. I feel like I'm interviewing clients as much as they are interviewing me which gives me a sense of self-confidence and independence that is seriously lacking from the interviewer/interviewee relationship.As for the work - I work hard. Working from home or remotely or as a contract employee isn't "easy". People who want to get paid while watching "Ellen" should avoid real freelance or contract work. I probably work more now than I ever did but it's because I want to and I'm drive to - I like the projects I am working on so I work hard to make them better. Six months or a year down the road I want clients to think "I should call Christina again - she'd be perfect for this." Werkadoo puts that ball into motion by giving people like me a place to connect with employers who need people like me."
