Company mission
To make that exchange of on-demand work run fast, smooth and independently.
Our take
YoungOnes has seen remarkable success in the Netherlands with its online freelance marketplace. It connects vetted businesses looking for staffing backup with vetted temp employees looking for gig work. Currently it serves over 18,000 Dutch professionals and nearly 3,000 companies, including top-tier brands like Zara, Ikea, and HelloFresh. Now, it’s launching in the UK.
This is an astute international expansion. Brexit, the pandemic, and The Great Resignation left many UK sectors facing substantial staffing shortfalls. This includes ones like retail, logistics, hospitality, and events, where non-specialist workers can be easily contracted in to fill the gaps.
Betting on the gig economy is a smart move in this region, too. It’s a country in which similarly designed platforms like Upwork and Fiverr have seen substantial uptake; with the UK freelance and gig economy sector thriving too, especially post-pandemic, it looks like fertile ground in which this well-established company could stand to make good gains.
