Need AI, product or automation capability without hiring full-time?

Why not just hire?
Traditional hiring starts with a job advert. Deployed Works starts with the work.
Not every problem needs a permanent hire. Recruiters and job boards often create noise before the work is understood.
Traditional hiring
Who do we hire, and how do we attract applicants?
Deployment
What capability do we need to deploy, and what conversation should start?
Trust note
Verification is a trust upgrade, not an access gate.
Optional verification
Provider profiles are free. Optional identity verification is available as an additional trust signal and costs a one-off £1.25, charged at cost.
Human responsibility
It is a trust signal, not a guarantee of skill, suitability or performance.
Stripe Identity
Identity verification is handled securely by Stripe Identity.
Clear context
Guided briefs, profiles and conversations help both sides understand fit.
FAQ
Questions, answered.
Is this really free for 3 months?
Yes. Cohort 1 organisations get 3 months free launch access. The offer is designed to help early teams test the platform and create real deployment briefs before paid access begins.
Who qualifies for Cohort 1?
We are prioritising B2B startups and scaleups that expect to need AI, automation, product or engineering capability in the next 30-60 days and are not ready to hire full-time.
What happens after I submit a brief?
You start with a guided capability brief. Deployed Works then helps shape that into a clearer deployment need and surfaces a small, relevant shortlist for review.
Do I have to hire anyone?
No. Submitting a brief does not commit you to a provider, contract or hire. It helps clarify the work and starts the right conversation.
What kinds of providers are on Deployed Works?
The launch marketplace is focused on trusted professionals, independent specialists, consultants, contractors, fractional leaders and specialist teams.
Is verification required?
No, verification is not required. Provider profiles are free, and providers can offer capability without verifying. Optional identity verification costs a one-off £1.25, charged at cost, and is handled securely by Stripe Identity. It is a trust signal, not a guarantee of skill or suitability.
Is this AI matching?
No. Deployed Works currently uses structured profiles, guided briefs, fit indicators and human-reviewed early matching. We do not claim AI matching.
