Our take
Many companies today face a skills shortage and struggle to find and manage talent for their critical business projects. Worksome solves that problem by giving medium-to large-scale businesses access to an impressive network of skilled independent consultants and specialists.
Worksome owes much of its success to its ability to compete with more traditional Managed Service Providers (MSPs). Compared to these established analogue providers, Worksome offers faster, simpler and more fluid solutions.
It does, however, face stiff competition from companies such as Fiverr and Malt, which leverage similar tech tools. The platform is seeing continued success, though, and the announcement of a partnership with Papaya to facilitate global contingent workforce payments is another boost for the company's ongoing success.
