how we work
(let's make lemonade)
We know your time is limited.
When you have an urgent hiring need or project, we realize you don't have the time to send countless cold messages to prospective talent. lemonworks helps you skip the tedious work of determining if a recently laid-off employee is available for work or if they're a good match for your needs.
And tech talent is expensive.
Which is why we match talent with startups looking for their expertise, but unable to afford a full-time hire. Although you're welcome to share a full-time role with us, we'll ask you to be transparent with your salary range so we can align with possible matches.
Let's make a match (for free).
Our talent pool ranges from director-level to individual contributors with experience at some of the world's largest companies. We know the job hunt can be unpredictable, which is why we confirm a candidates interest before we make a match. We want to make sure you're connecting with folks who can't wait to jump into your project. After you fill out a short form letting us know what you're looking for, leave the rest up to us. Next stop: warm intros to relevant candidates
Good vibes make lemonade.
We match talent with projects and require both parties to opt-in prior to an introduction. We do this because we value everyone's time. When we share a match, we'll provide details like: hourly rate, work style, expertise, availability, and a variety of other project specific details so you can make an informed decision before any introduction is made. We will match you with up to five possible candidates for your role or project, for free. We just ask that you share about your experience with lemonworks with your network. After we confirm a positive connection, we leave the rest up to you. There are a million amazing tools for companies to use for onboarding, project coordination, or payment. We're not trying to re-invent them. Consider us your partners in smart recruiting from an uber-talented and motivated pool of candidates.
