We’re always interested in connecting with talented people. Introduce yourself, share what you do, and become part of our growing network of potential collaborators.

FAQ

Before you apply.

Is this a full-time employment opportunity?

No. The network is for project-based and flexible collaboration. Any engagement is agreed individually, for a specific piece of work.

Can I apply if there are no active openings?

Yes. Applications are always open. We use them to build a pool of people we can call on as projects start.

What qualifications do I need?

There is no fixed list. We look at relevant experience, skills and your portfolio where it applies, for the team you choose. Emerging talent is welcome.

Will I need to complete an assessment or training?

Most applicants complete a paid practical assessment and a structured interview. The exact steps depend on the team and the opportunity. Training and internships are offered where they suit the role.

How will I know whether I’ve been shortlisted?

If your profile fits, we contact you using the details in your application to invite you to the next step. We cannot promise a reply to every application.

Does joining guarantee projects or paid engagements?

No. Joining the network means you can be considered for suitable work. Engagements depend on projects and on fit. Assessments are paid on a completed submission.

Can I update my professional information later?

Tell us when you apply, or apply again as your experience grows. We will confirm how updates work when applications open.
