The platform

Everything a contract engagement needs — nothing it doesn’t.

Post in minutes

Describe the work in plain English — Lucy, our AI assistant, drafts the full brief so you can publish a project or job within minutes.

Verified talent

Three tiers — Identity (KYC), Payment and Lucy AI screening — give you a clear, documented picture of every contractor before you commit.

Timesheets that pay

Approve a timesheet and it converts automatically to an invoice and a secure payout, net of the flat 10% platform fee.

IR35 handled

Inside or outside IR35, payroll preference and VAT are built into every UK engagement — no separate paperwork.

What you get

A process you can trust at every stage.

From first post to final payment, Contractors Room is built around four things the UK contracting market has long needed.

Rigorous verification

Before any work begins, every party is checked: Identity (KYC), payment credentials and Lucy AI screening. You always know exactly who you are dealing with — and they know you.

Transparent payments

Timesheets flow directly to invoices. Money is held securely and released only against approved work. The platform fee is 10%, stated once — no surprises. Disputes are mediated by Lucy before a single pound moves.

IR35 handled end to end

Inside or outside IR35, payroll preference and VAT treatment are captured at the start of every UK engagement. Compliance is built into the flow, not bolted on afterwards.

AI-assisted hiring

Lucy drafts your postings, screens applicants and mediates disputes — reducing the administrative load on both sides without removing human judgment from the decisions that matter.
