Our take

Finding flexible workers in bulk can be challenging for many industries. Temper is a digital job notice board that connects professionals with companies looking for shift-based work. Its platform enables workers to control when and where they work, and for how much, while providing companies with the tools to find and manage their freelance workforce online.

As the demand for flexible employment has increased, Temper has risen in popularity with its platform providing its 487,000+ workers across the Netherlands and the UK, with access to over 10,000 clients across a wide range of work sectors (including retail, logistics, hospitality, construction, and more).

Due to the diverse offering of work available on the platform, Temper encourages workers to develop a broad range of knowledge and skills, all while providing users with more freedom and social fulfillment. The company has experienced substantial growth and is well-positioned to be a leading FreeFlex work platform.
