Empowering Teams to Hire Faster
Self-service hiring is a recruitment approach where business teams or hiring managers can independently source, contract, and onboard talent – without going through traditional HR or procurement workflows.
Unlike centralized hiring models, self-service hiring enables managers to engage freelance or project-based talent directly through digital platforms. These platforms offer features like smart matching, automated contracts, and built-in compliance – allowing hiring in hours, not weeks.
A typical self-service hiring process via platform includes:
Project briefing: The manager submits role details, skills, and timing directly
Talent matching: The platform suggests pre-vetted freelancers in real time
Contracting: Digital agreements are created and signed automatically
Start & payment: Onboarding, time tracking, and payments are fully integrated
Speed and agility are crucial in modern project work. Self-service hiring reduces bottlenecks, empowers teams to act fast, and improves hiring outcomes – without sacrificing compliance or transparency. It’s ideal for freelance, remote, and short-term roles.
Faster hiring, less overhead, and full visibility with built-in compliance.
Example
A marketing team lead needs a copywriter for an urgent campaign. Instead of waiting for HR approval, they submit the project via WorkGenius, select from AI-matched candidates, and onboard a freelancer the same day.
