Why Yoke
Most firms staff from memory, a spreadsheet and an agency shortlist. Yoke keeps the people you already trust in one place, with availability they confirm themselves, and takes nothing from the work.

- Current

Yoke is not

FAQ
What operations leads ask before they move their bench.
Is this a marketplace?
No. There's no matching, no bidding and no cut. Your bench is private, and Yoke never places anyone.
Why would contractors keep their availability current?
Because it's how they get asked. And it takes one tap.
What if my contractor list is a mess?
That's normal. Import it from a spreadsheet, and profiles fill in as contractors confirm.
Does Yoke handle contracts, timesheets or payment?
No, by design. Contracting and payment stay exactly where they are today.
How is this different from a freelancer management system?
Those start after you've chosen someone. Yoke answers the question before that: who is free, and at what rate.
