Company mission

To revolutionize recruiting and transform the job market for skilled workers.

Our take

Leveraging AI-driven sourcing and matching, Workerhero is addressing the global shortage of skilled workers by connecting companies and candidates with its focus on blue and grey-collar (a mix of manual work and specialised skill) workers and hirers.

Co-founded by a former recruiter for a European e-commerce company, the company was created to address the human limits of classic blue-collar recruitment. Utilising AI and automation technology, blue and grey-collar recruiters are quickly and simply matched with the candidates with the right qualifications for their jobs.

Workerhero’s pain-free and straightforward approach to recruitment attracted Series A funding from Bonsai Partners and 10X Founders among others. Its 2024 round will be channelled into the company’s platform entry into new fields and industries. It also wants to support companies recruiting from abroad, addressing the bottleneck in the hiring of migrant workers.
