Gigs

Stop hiring externally for work your people can do

Gigs matches employees to short-term projects based on skills and availability. Managers post a project, the right people surface, work gets done. No contractors. No req approvals. No three-week sourcing cycle.

Why organizations like yours use Fuel50 Gigs

Managers need people for project work. Employees want exposure to new challenges. Without a system connecting the two, managers default to contractors and employees don’t know the work exists.

Staff projects in days, not quarters

Without Gigs, managers source manually — emailing around, checking with their network, or spinning up a contractor SOW. Gigs routes work to qualified internal people first. Projects start sooner. Costs stay lower.

Make stretch work visible and fair

Most internal project opportunities travel by word of mouth. That’s not equitable and it’s not scalable. Gigs surfaces opportunities based on skills and eligibility, so access doesn’t depend on who you know.

Scale without losing control

As more teams post gigs, governance matters. Audience targeting ensures only eligible people see relevant projects. Co-ownership prevents bottlenecks. HR gets oversight without becoming the traffic cop.

“If they go to LinkedIn and find a job, they’re gone in two weeks. If they’re on Fuel50 and find a job or a gig, they never leave, and you have more influence inside the organization.”

How Lennox Increased Internal Mobility And Employee Tenure Using Fuel50

On average, at Lennox, each internal move added five months of tenure. Multiply that across Lennox’s 4,800 tracked internal moves, and the company effectively retained more than 2,000 years’ worth of institutional knowledge. Each goal added to an IDP was linked to 25 extra days of tenure, and each developmental action to another 17 days. Even a modest level of engagement—just a few goals and actions—could easily translate into an additional year of tenure for an individual.

Gigs FAQ

Gigs helps you staff critical work faster, reduce external hiring costs, and unlock underused internal capacity so projects move without adding headcount. It also strengthens workforce agility by connecting people to real work that advances priority initiatives.
Work changes faster than org charts; without an internal gig marketplace, delivery slows, contractor spend climbs, and employees can’t see fair, transparent paths to contribute and grow. Gigs turns skills data into action by matching people to short-term projects and assignments where they add immediate value.
By routing work to qualified employees first, Gigs cuts reliance on agencies and contractors while reducing time‑to‑staff on critical efforts. Targeted visibility ensures only relevant employees see and act on opportunities, reducing noise and wasted effort.
Gigs makes opportunities visible and explainable across teams, giving people equitable access to stretch work that builds experience and increases engagement and mobility. Real‑work experiences become a growth engine, helping employees develop skills while the business hits outcomes.
Audience Targeting limits visibility by attributes like location, business unit, and function so only eligible employees see applicable gigs—improving relevance and reducing compliance risk. Governance features ensure transparency around who can view and manage opportunities across the organization.
Co‑ownership and centralized administration let teams share workload, keep applicants moving, and manage visibility without losing reporting continuity, even as volumes grow. This prevents bottlenecks and maintains control as usage scales across business units and regions.
You can track gig participation, adoption, and skill growth and connect them to business outcomes like faster staffing and reduced external spend. These insights show how real‑work opportunities build capability while improving delivery and productivity over time.
