Our take
Recruiting new staff can be a time-consuming process for HR teams; requiring them to source, screen, and communicate with every potential candidate. Whilst the process has been made easier through online job boards, this has only led to larger pools of potential candidates, putting further pressure on the workload of recruiters.
Workstream provides an hourly worker recruitment platform, focused on automating digital communication and application management with candidates to reduce workloads for recruitment teams. The platform also allows users to post open roles to over 25,000 job boards at once, in addition to automating all paperwork workflows.
Whilst the prevalence of smart recruitment platforms will present difficult competition for Workstream, the company shows the potential to disrupt the market with its automated communication, paperwork, and mass job posting capabilities. It continues to launch new products and features - such as its multilingual and customizable AI chatbot - and has raised strong capital to support accelerated expansion and the broadening of product development.
