Internal marketplace for work and learning
Hitchhiker brings open tasks and existing skills together inside your own company – from marketing to HR, from coding to customer contact. No job change, no external recruiting.
Runs in Microsoft Teams · Swiss made · Platform free, from 20 CHF per gig
The problem
The developer with a design background, the controller who can run projects: abilities that never appear on the org chart – and are therefore never asked for.
Project leads scour the market for resources while two floors up someone can do exactly that – and would enjoy it.
Anyone who wants to learn something new has to switch roles or leave the company. There is nothing in between.
The solution
Supply – the skills and learning interests you already have – meets demand – current project needs and open tasks. Across departments and independent of fixed positions.
Gig marketplace
Managers post project assignments, micro-tasks, job shadowing or mentoring in minutes, without HR paperwork. Employees apply with their profile and one sentence on why they want it.
Skill matching
Profile, interests and availability are matched against every open gig. People who are not looking still get found – and only see what genuinely fits their time and skills.
Approval workflow
Every application goes through the person's own manager. Capacity, duration and workload relief are settled before the start – core work stays covered, the assignment stays simple.
Feedback and record
After every assignment both sides give feedback. Completed gigs build a skills profile that says more than any CV – and HR finally gets solid numbers on the capabilities in the house.
Everyone gains
In practice
Task, duration, desired workload and required skills. That is the posting – visible to the whole company.
Suitable people apply, the manager approves, a short conversation settles the rest.
Both sides confirm completion and give feedback. The experience lands in the profile – and in the reporting.
Why Hitchhiker
Hitchhiker runs embedded in Microsoft Teams – sign in with the existing company account, no extra software, no new password.
Built for Swiss companies, operated on Swiss infrastructure, compliant with GDPR and the Swiss FADP.
No mega-project: profiles take minutes, the first gig runs in week one. Change management stays manageable.
Pricing
Profiles, postings, applications, analytics – all free. You are charged only once an assignment has happened and both sides confirmed it: 20 Swiss francs for short assignments of up to a day, 50 for longer ones. No subscription, no user licences.
The platform
For the whole company, with no time limit.
Per gig
Due only once both sides have confirmed completion.
