WheelOfWork support

Find the right freelancer for your assignment.

WheelOfWork finds freelance consultants for IT, engineering and specialist business projects. Your talent agent starts from the work itself, looks for people who have done it before, then arranges the introductions. If you’re a freelancer, they care as much about what you want next as about how you prefer to work.

How does
our support work?

01

Define the assignment

We start with the objectives and the deliverables. Then the team, the duration and the working arrangements.

02

Review relevant experience

We discuss skills used, comparable projects and availability, then prepare the introduction between client and consultant.

03

Prepare the engagement

The client and the consultant agree on the work, the contacts and the contracts. Your agent stays available during the assignment, to follow its progress and discuss what comes next.

When should you bring in a freelance consultant?

Freelance work suits a defined project, specialist requirement or need for extra capacity. Your talent agent first helps you pin down what you are looking for, then reviews experience and availability.

Building data pipelines, helping commission an installation and strengthening financial reporting call for different experience. Tell us which tools are in place, what the person will decide alone, and where they sit in the team.

If you need someone to lead a function temporarily and decide its priorities, explore Interim Management. If you have already chosen the consultant and need to organise contracts and invoicing, explore contractor management.

How do you prepare a useful brief?

Describe what the consultant will do, in what setting and under what constraints. Separate the essential skills from the ones that can be discussed. WheelOfWork helps turn that into search criteria.

Describe the team, where the project stands, what is blocking it and what it depends on. Add the deliverables, key contacts and available resources. Some work requires specific technical expertise; other assignments depend more on sector knowledge or experience coordinating teams.

Add the preferred start date and duration, then the location, on-site requirements and budget. Flag any open questions. For more detail on skills, see IT & Digital and Engineering.

What should the client and freelancer discuss?

The client explains the context, objectives and constraints. The freelancer, in turn, shows comparable projects, says what they did on them and when they are free. The talent agent prepares the introduction and helps both sides clarify their expectations.

Ask how the work was organised, which decisions the consultant made and which problems they resolved. The answers show whether they contributed, delivered independently or led the project, and how they worked with the team.

As a freelancer, prepare two or three examples that show your contribution. Say what you are looking for and on what terms: how much autonomy, what resources, how much coordination, how much time on site. To protect a former client’s confidentiality, describe the context and your approach without sharing internal documents.

What should be agreed before and during the assignment?

Before the start, the client and the consultant agree on the work, the contacts, the schedule and the contracts. During the assignment, they talk about progress and changes. That makes it clear who to contact if a problem or a new requirement comes up.

Identify who will explain the context, which teams are in the loop and who approves what. Prepare access, resources and initial tasks. The start depends on that as much as on the consultant’s availability.

A new priority, delay or additional work? Say what it changes for the tasks, the timing and the terms. The client and the consultant discuss the adjustments, then document them under their agreement. Share your needs in the company section or your experience in the professional section.

Your questions,
answered.

Which specialisms can you find on a freelance basis?

Our areas include IT, engineering and finance. Our specialist pages cover data and AI, cybersecurity, automation, finance and accounting.

What should I prepare before sharing a requirement?

Describe the context and the work to be done, then the skills you need. Add the start date, the location and the budget.

Can I share my profile without a specific assignment in mind?

Yes. Your agent can get to know you, understand your priorities and discuss the assignments that interest you. Share your specialism, experience and timing.

We have already found the consultant. Which service should we choose?

Contractor management handles client and supplier contracts and invoicing when the client and independent consultant have already agreed to work together.

How should I present relevant freelance experience?

Choose a project similar to the assignment and describe the context, your role, work and constraints. Explain your level of autonomy and the teams you worked with. These examples show how you work, beyond the tools you use.
