Our take
Professional social networks have long since replaced a large chunk of recruitment processes over the last two decades, but existing platforms are failing to keep up with rapidly changing industries. They generally concern traditional, in-person, permanent employment, yet the post-COVID-19 landscape presents a demand for a professional social network for remote, flexible, and temporary collaboration.
Polywork provides a professional social network for digital collaboration, allowing individual users to create a profile, to express what kind of collaborations they are looking for, what services they can provide, and the professional relationships they are seeking. The platform's search engine is focused on digital opportunities such as remote mentorship, content creation, and podcasting, and is available for users to sign up for free.
Whilst the platform inevitably sees competition from professional social network giants such as LinkedIn, Polywork stands out by recognizing the need for a platform based around entrepreneurship, collaboration, and remote working. The company claims that its platform can help boost the digital presence of its users' work, whilst providing fertile ground for digital collaboration.
