Company mission
To remove the barriers that make it difficult for people to find fulfilling work, and for companies to find quality workers, by providing a better and transparent way to connect people and jobs, making broad job opportunities available to everyone.
Our take
Wonolo connects temporary workers with companies facing sudden work shortages, for labor-based roles in areas like retail, manufacturing and shipping. Enabling flexible working for both employers and employees, the platform is predominantly focused on shift work and short-term jobs.
While this isn’t a solution to long-term work issues, the platform offers workers a stop-gap in difficult times, increases work flexibility, and gives them an opportunity to gain valuable skills and experience that may lead to fixed employment.
While there is competition in the on-demand labor market - think Workrise and Checkr - Wonolo remains a key player, reflected in the strong levels of investment the company has received. It has also produced various research reports into the make-up and experiences of the on-demand workforce, acting as a respected voice in the space and furthering its mission to make short-term work work better for all.
