Gigs
Match internal talent to critical business projects automatically.
Automatically match employees to short‑term projects and assignments based on skills, availability, and interests. Move faster, build skills through real work, and cut external hiring costs so your organization becomes more agile and productive.
The Problem
Why organizations use Fuel50 Gigs
Modern work moves faster than headcount changes, leaving internal capacity underused, projects understaffed, and external hiring costs rising — an internal gig marketplace fixes this gap by connecting people to real work quickly.
Critical work stalls while costs rise
Without an internal gig marketplace, managers rely on slow, manual sourcing and contractors, delaying delivery and increasing spend when internal talent could do the work.
Opportunities are invisible and uneven
Employees can’t easily see stretch projects across teams, so development is ad‑hoc, engagement drops, and internal mobility lags because access isn’t transparent or fair.
Compliance and relevance are hard at scale
Generic postings create noise and risk — without audience targeting and governance, ineligible employees see gigs while the right teams miss them.
Staff critical work with confidence and develop talent along the way
Use internal gigs to fill projects quickly and give employees equitable ways to contribute, gain visibility, and grow skills on the job.

“The concept of a skills gap is always going to be there. The question is, what is your organizational strategy to be able to continue to close those gaps when the target is constantly moving on you? And this is where a platform like Fuel50 becomes very, very powerful.”

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 accelerating 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.
