Hire the capacity. Not the whole career.

Sometimes you need experienced expertise, but you don't need a full-time hire. Red Stapler connects you with experienced professionals who can bring the skills and capacity you need, without requiring an exclusive commitment.

Not every role needs a full-time hire.

Red Stapler opens up a different talent pool: experienced professionals who are interested in adding the right opportunity to the work they're already doing.

What Red Stapler isn't

Red Stapler isn't a gig-work or shift-work platform. It's designed for professional roles where experience, expertise and judgment matter.

You don't have to remove every restriction. Employers can still establish reasonable expectations around confidentiality, conflicts of interest, competitors, working hours and availability. The difference is that outside professional work is permitted and the boundaries are clear from the start.

Access experience differently.

  • Traditional hiring often forces a choice between hiring someone full-time or going without the expertise you need. Red Stapler gives you another option: access experienced professionals for the amount and type of work that actually makes sense.

  • Access more experienced talent

    Professionals who may not be looking to leave their current role can still be interested in the right additional opportunity.

  • Match capacity to the work

    Hire for the hours, duration or scope you actually need instead of automatically creating a full-time position.

  • Hire for the hours, duration or scope you actually need instead of automatically creating a full-time position.

    Reach professionals who traditional job postings may never attract because they aren't actively looking for a replacement job.

  • Keep expectations clear

    Non-exclusivity, availability, conflicts and boundaries are understood from the beginning.
