Our take

The Coople app connects those seeking flexible work on the go with the most suitable jobs available through its unique algorithm. Coople provides 100,000+ workers (“Cooplers”) to thousands of businesses. Companies only pay for the hours worked, making Coople a less expensive and seamless alternative to expensive temporary recruitment agencies.

Beyond the staff matching function, the platform provides end-to-end automation of the HR process; from planning, recruiting, on-boarding and hiring to workforce management, payroll and payments. The platform has attracted companies primarily in the Swiss and British markets.

The company's Series C funding in 2019 aided the automation of the online platform and its expansion within existing markets, as well as financing the company’s launch in the Netherlands and beyond. In 2023, Coople launched an AI tool to help companies save time in writing job descriptions. The market for flexible talent is a growing technology opportunity in Europe, and, with its expanded management team, Coople is in a prime position to further strengthen its market leadership.
