Meet The Doers

OUR FREELANCE COLLECTIVE

The Doers is run by Jess but supported by a freelance leadership team. This team is made up of the people who have helped make the business what it is today.

The Doers Leadership Team

We work with freelancers to support the day-to-day running of our own business; from marketing The Doers to admin to HR.

Joining The Doers

Over the years we’ve developed a network of talented freelancers who we can call upon when the right project arises. It’s a no-strings-attached partnership.

The only requirement is that we look for specialists, not generalists. So you’re amazing at one thing (i.e. PR), and not just ‘ok’ at three (i.e. PR, SEO, and social).

ON TOP OF THE OBVIOUS BONUS OF POTENTIAL WORK, THERE ARE A NUMBER OF EVERY DAY BENEFITS TO JOINING US…

  • You set your day rate and get every penny of it

  • Client management. Leave it to us. We handle the stressed-out emails, late-night WhatsApps, and last-minute tweaks. You just get on with what you do best.

  • Invoice management. You invoice us, not the client. The result? You get paid on time.

  • Seasonal knees ups. Have FOMO over summer and Christmas parties enjoyed by the “employed” workforce? We’ve got you covered.

  • Self-employed support. We’ve created a network of partners to provide advice on issues ranging from pensions to insurance.

COMING SOON: a subscription to The Doers that offers benefits for freelancers. Think private health, gym memberships, discounts for places that make your self-employed life easier PLUS access to The Doers Little Black Book - a directory of places to eat, coffee to drink, co-working hotspots, freelancer networks to join and events to attend.

The Doers Manifesto

WE BELIEVE IN FREELANCERS

We’ll always be on your side.  Help you where we can.  And champion you to everyone we meet.

So...

What makes a great Doer?  What do we expect from our Doers? What can Doers expect from us? 
When it comes to being a Doer there are  three things we love, and three things we loathe...

WE LOVE:

  • Our Doers are specialists, not generalists. They know what they love doing, what they’re an expert in, and what they don’t do.

    They have a superpower and bring it to the table every time we work together. This means we totally trust them to get on with work without needing any hand-holding or micromanaging.

  • Our Doers are willing to listen to feedback and new ideas. They know when to challenge and fight, and when to accept and course-correct.

    They’re up for being part of a team, are happy to bounce ideas around (whether it’s part of their remit or not), and aren’t afraid to say, “can you just explain that one more time.”

  • Fundamentally, our Doers are just great human beings. They’re open, humble, and honest. They ask the right questions, stick to their word, and never need chasing.

    They keep people in the loop, admit challenges, and do things which make everyone’s life easier.

WE LOATH:

  • You don’t need to be good at everything. You just need to be great at one thing. There’s a time and place to fake it until you make it. The Doers isn’t it.

  • Ghosting calls? Not owning your work? Overcharging but underdelivering? Life is hard enough without having to chase, worry, or contingency plan. It’s boring and a waste of everyone’s time. No thanks.

  • We favour flexibility. Freelancers who adapt their approach if they don’t get results. Not naysayers who give up when clients get challenging and the work gets tough.
