Get found for the work
you actually want.

One profile. You set your availability, your rate and how you like to be engaged — then companies searching the bench find you when the brief fits. Free to join, and you keep every penny you agree with them.

How it works

Set it up once. Stay findable.

No trawling job boards, no sending the same CV to six agencies, no recruiter calling you about a role you'd never take.

1

Build your profile

Upload your CV and it's parsed into a structured profile — skills, modules, versions, industries and project history. Fix anything it got wrong and you're on the bench.

2

Set your terms

Available now, available from a date, or not looking. Your notice period. Your day rate, or a fixed outcome fee if you'd rather price the work than the hours. Change any of it in one tap.

3

Get matched

Companies describe what they need in plain English and the bench is searched semantically. You surface when your actual experience fits the brief — not when you happen to have the right keyword.

4

Apply, or bid

On roles you like, apply with a short pitch — and put forward your own proposed fee rather than accepting whatever the posted budget says.

One-tap availability

Flip your status the day a contract ends. Companies filtering for "available now" see you immediately.

Found by fit, not keywords

Semantic matching reads your whole profile, so relevant experience counts even when the wording differs.

Price the work, not the hours

Offer a fixed outcome fee instead of a day rate when you know you can deliver it faster than they expect.

Bid on live roles

See the budget, then pitch with your own proposed fee and a short case for why it should be you.

Know your market

See which skills are in demand across the ecosystem so you know where your rate should sit.

Promote your profile

Boost to rank higher when companies search the bench — like promoting a post, but for your career.

Your fee

Charge for your time,
or for the result.

Most Microsoft contracting assumes a day rate. If you're fast and you know the work, that quietly penalises you — so the bench lets you price either way.

Model 01

Day rate

You set the figure and bill the days you work. Predictable, familiar, and the right call when the scope is likely to move or you're joining an existing team for a stretch.

Model 02

Fixed outcome fee

The client shares the engagement and you quote one price to deliver it. If you finish a four-week migration in two because you've done thirty of them, that efficiency is yours — not a reason to get paid half as much.

Permanent & part-time

Not everyone wants to contract forever. Mark yourself open to full-time or part-time roles and you'll show up in searches for them too — same profile, no separate job hunt.

Questions

What specialists ask us.

Does it cost anything to join?

No. A full profile, appearing in company searches and setting your availability are all free, permanently. The paid tiers buy you search placement and the ability to bid on every role — they don't buy you the right to exist on the bench.

Do you take a cut of my rate?

No. Whatever you agree with the client is yours. We make money from platform subscriptions on both sides, not from a percentage of your work.

Will my current employer see my profile?

Companies searching the bench see your profile, so if you're not looking, set your status to "not looking right now" — you stay on the bench for when that changes without appearing in availability-filtered searches.

What counts as a Microsoft specialist?

Anyone working in the ecosystem: Dynamics 365 F&O, Business Central, Customer Engagement, Power Platform, Power BI and Fabric, Azure infrastructure, Azure Data & AI, Copilot Studio, Dataverse, Microsoft 365 and security — plus legacy AX and NAV, which is still very much in demand.

How does bidding work?

On a live role you see the company's budget, then apply with a short pitch and your own proposed fee. You can update your bid if the conversation moves.

I was added by a recruiter — how do I take over my profile?

Go to the claim page and enter your email. You'll get a sign-in link that connects the profile to you, no password needed. From then on it's yours to edit.
