Company mission

To reshape the employment landscape for hourly employers and professionals to be instant, accessible, and human.

-35% employee growth in 12 months

Our take

Built specifically for waged or hourly workers, JobGet provides them with listings for jobs and an opportunity to connect with others doing similar work. Recruiters can contact candidates with appropriate job offerings, and down the line, it plans to offer more tools such as training and development to help candidates along their career ladders.

JobGet already seems to be making headway in connecting hourly workers looking for work and employers looking to hire them. It has racked up 2 million downloads of its mobile app, with a further 10 million using its website. The number of companies posting on the site is now at 50,000, up from just 1,000 when the company was founded in 2019. Companies hiring through JobGet include Home Depot, California Pizza Kitchen, Showcase Cinemas and Taco Bell.

The company is currently recruiting and has made some interesting recent hires on the executive front, including Ryan Eberhard, the former CPO at ZipRecruiter. In addition, JobGet has recently acquired Heroes Jobs, a social networking job platform, and is actively seeking further acquisitions and strategic partnerships. These initiatives are part of the company's plan to expand its team, fortify itself for future growth, and enhance its market presence.
