Ready-made IT gigs. Fixed scope, fixed price, no surprises.
Not every problem needs a contract and an onboarding process. A gig is a clearly defined piece of work — a migration, an audit, a rollout — with a price and a delivery window agreed up front, delivered by a verified UK IT Manager. You know exactly what you're getting and exactly what it costs before you buy.
Buy it like a product. Get it delivered like a project.
The scope and price are fixed before money changes hands — so there's no scope creep, no day-rate drift and no awkward conversation halfway through.

Gigs, answered
A gig is a fixed-scope, fixed-price piece of IT work with an agreed delivery window — think “migrate 25 users to Microsoft 365 in 7 days for a set price” rather than “an IT Manager at £500 a day for as long as it takes.” Everything included is listed explicitly before you buy, so you know what you're getting, what it costs and when it lands. It suits well-defined jobs with a clear finish line. If the work is open-ended, ongoing, or you're not sure of the scope yet, a contract or a posted project is the better route — and we'd tell you that rather than sell you a gig that doesn't fit.
Mostly in how the risk sits. With a day rate, an underestimate is your problem — the days add up and so does the invoice. With a gig, the price is fixed, so if the migration takes twelve days instead of seven, that's the IT Manager's risk, not your budget's. The trade-off is that gigs need a genuinely definable scope; you can't fix a price on a moving target. Many businesses start with a gig, see how someone works, and then extend into a contract with the same person — no re-onboarding, no starting the search again.
Payment is held securely and only released when the work is delivered and you've confirmed you're happy with it — the IT Manager doesn't get paid just for starting. If something's not right, it goes through our resolution process, and because every seller on the platform is a verified UK IT Manager with a reviewed profile and a reputation to protect, they have a strong incentive to put it right rather than walk away. That's a meaningful difference from hiring an anonymous freelancer on a global marketplace.
Yes, and it's free to list. Package something you already do well — a network audit, an Intune rollout, a DR review — into a clear scope and a fixed price, and it goes in front of businesses actively searching for that exact job. It's a genuinely useful way to fill the gaps between contracts, or to build an income stream that doesn't depend on being on site five days a week. Many IT Managers use gigs as a shop window: deliver one well, get reviewed, and it turns into a longer engagement. You'll need a verified account first.
Yes. Every seller has been identity-checked and right-to-work verified, and is resident and working in the UK — the same standard as everyone else on the platform. Gigs aren't quietly subcontracted offshore; the person whose profile you see is the person who does the work, in your timezone. Prices and scopes shown on this page are illustrative examples of how the marketplace presents gigs; live listings are created and priced by the IT Managers themselves.
