Our take

Bluecrew is disrupting the traditional staffing model (an industry worth $130 billion) with its mobile-first Gig 2.0 platform that offers job stability and W-2 employment to hourly workers, while enabling businesses to solve labor need challenges with its Workforce-as-a-Service framework. Once employers post a position, the platform’s actionable analytics and variable demand navigation matches them with available workers.

Since workers on the platform (Crew Members) are W-2 employees of Bluecrew, workers have the freedom and flexibility to choose where and when they want to work, while still having access to benefits and protections that many gig workers would otherwise be unable to access. Bluecrew was acquired by EmployBridge in late 2022, and the combined company is expected to generate over $4 billion of annual pro forma revenue. With the support afforded to the company through the acquisition, Bluecrew is well set to see continued market and geographical expansion.
