How Comcast Is Structuring Its Internal Gig Marketplace

[madtrader]

Comcast is turning internal talent into a flexible workforce with a structured “gig” system, according to HR reports.

Employees are matched to short-term, measurable projects based on skills and interests. A digital platform and AI streamline candidate discovery, while current managers approve participation to protect core responsibilities. Most employees dedicate 10–20% of their time to these gigs, with regular check-ins to avoid burnout and maintain seamless re-entry into their main roles.

This approach makes external hiring less attractive and shows how large firms are tapping their own staff to fill temporary roles—potentially reshaping the workforce.

sucks for freelancers tho. project work getting eaten up by internal talent was kinda inevitable once budgets tightened
