FAQ

Questions? We've got answers

How much does it cost to join?

It's completely free to join WorkGenius. You'll never pay to create a profile, browse work, or get matched - and there are no fees until you actually start working.

How and when do I get paid?

You submit your timesheet, we handle the invoicing, and you get paid reliably and on time - every time. No more chasing clients or waiting weeks for a payment to clear.

Will I be a W-2 employee or a 1099 contractor?

Both are possible, depending on the role and the client. We handle worker classification and payroll for you, so you're set up correctly and stay compliant - without the paperwork headache.

Do I get benefits?

Yes - benefits are available. When you talk with your recruiter, they'll walk you through exactly what applies to your engagement.

What kind of work is available?

Contract and freelance roles across tech, AI, design, marketing, operations, finance, and enterprise software - at real companies, from Fortune 500s to fast-growing startups.

Is the work remote or on-site?

Both. Some roles are fully remote, others are on-site or hybrid - it depends on the client. You'll always know before you take on a project.

Can I join from outside the US?

Yes. Professionals from 100+ countries are part of the WorkGenius network. Most of our open roles are US-based, but we work with talent globally.

How is this different from a gig marketplace?

No bidding wars, no race to the bottom, and no chasing payments. Our AI plus a human recruiter match you to roles that actually fit - and we handle contracts, payments, and paperwork so you can focus on the work.
