CONFLICT-FREE CHECK

Know before you say yes.

Before a gig reaches you, your agent tests it against your day job and grades it green, amber or red. You always get the reasons, in plain English.

The conflict check is guidance, not legal advice. You are responsible for following your employment contract.

What it looks at

  1. 01

    Your employer

    Is this your employer, its parent company, one of its subsidiaries, or someone on your blocklist?

  2. 02

    Competitors

    Do they sell something similar to your employer, or chase the same customers?

  3. 03

    Hours

    Would the gig's hours eat into your working day, including the time it takes to get home?

  4. 04

    Your contract

    Does anything you told us about your contract, like an outside-work clause or IP terms, apply here?

  5. 05

    IP overlap

    Is the work close enough to your day job that code, data or know-how could leak across?

Where the AI earns its keep

Rules catch the obvious stuff. The agent reads the gig and the company behind it to catch the subtle stuff, like a startup quietly building a tool your employer sells. When it isn't sure, it says amber and tells you what to check. It never gives a green on a hunch.

What the colours mean

Green

Safe to consider

Nothing in the way. Anything worth a second glance is still noted.

Amber

Check first

Something needs your judgement, usually a contract clause. The report tells you what. If your company runs a Mondeed programme, you can also send it to HR to approve (optional, planned).

Red

Removed

A clear conflict. You never see the gig, and that company never sees you.

THE CONFLICT CHECK

Know before you say yes.

Every gig comes with a report like this before it reaches you. Read the reasons, look into the amber bits, and decide with the facts in front of you. Red gigs never make it this far.

Conflict report

Sample

Gig

Part-time backend engineer · Series A logistics startup, London

Overall:Greensafe to consider
  • Pass: Not your employer, and not on your blocklist
  • Pass: Different industry: logistics, not banking
  • Pass: Their 11 am–3 pm is your 7–11 pm, well clear of your day job
  • Check: Your contract mentions outside work. Check whether you need to tell your employer.

Worth asking yourself

  • Would any code, data or tools from your day job end up in this work? (They shouldn't.)
