Company mission

Jobcase's mission is to build a social platform to empower workers.

43% employee growth in 12 months

Our take

Jobcase is an online community marketing themselves as a kind of LinkedIn for lower wage workers. They help users land hourly, gig, and seasonal work, and advocate for fairer employment practices. With over 130 million registered users and over 20 million monthly visitors, they have become one of the highest ranking career service destinations in the U.S.

Their key selling points, however, are the Jobscale career services and community. Alongside features like unemployment resources and strategies for job hunting and training, the platform fosters a strong network of mutually supportive members. With the kinds of careers it caters to rarely offering the same kind of mentorship and support provision afforded to white-collar professions, Jobscale is filling a crucial hole in the market.

The importance of Jobcase’s advocacy and worker empowerment is likely to only increase for this demographic, too, with over 100 million low-wage workers across the globe expected to seek out new career paths over the coming years as automation increases. This substantial labor market shift will make Jobcase’s operations increasingly crucial.
