Hiring the right specialist starts with a well-defined job. When you create a workspace, you already get a personal assistant; hire another worker for a separate role. See Workspaces for roles, worker visibility and shared allowances.

Browse by role or describe a job

In the workspace where the worker should belong, select Hire in the sidebar to open Hire a worker. Use Browse by role to explore available roles or describe the work in your own words. For a first-week plan for popular roles, see the Role guides.

Steps to Hire a Worker

1

Identify the specific work need

Choose a repetitive task or distinct functional domain, such as support inbox management or calendar coordination. See Hiring Your First Worker for examples.
2

Choose and review a role

Open Hire a worker, browse by role or describe the job. Review the role and available options before hiring.
3

Onboard and connect tools

Talk to the new worker about the job. Connect applications under Settings > Tools, then grant the worker access in its Tools section. See Setting Up Tools.
4

Share as needed

New hires default to Whole workspace visibility for non-Guest members. For team collaboration or manager permissions see Teams and Co-Managers. Conversations remain per viewer.

Managing Hired Workers

Once a worker is hired:
  • Configure Tools & Vault: Connect workspace tools and store sensitive API keys in the worker’s Vault.
  • Share across Teams: Share team-serving workers from their Settings → Teams section with a team in the same workspace. See Teams.
  • Assign Co-Managers: Add colleagues as Co-Managers so they can configure and connect tools to shared workers.
