Company mission
To help businesses hire faster and smarter, so they can focus on supporting their team and serving their customers.
Role
Who you are
- 6+ years in Product Management, with experience in growth roles a plus
- You've worked at a fast-paced, scaling startup (< 500 employees, growing at least 2x in revenue each year) in the last 5 years, or believe you'll excel in a startup environment
- Track record of strong partnerships with engineering, sales, customer success, operations, and marketing teams
- Love working with customers and users; hungry and relentlessly resourceful in talking with and getting feedback from users
- Empathetic and precise communication, written and verbal – ability to influence people across cultures and geographies
- Plus if you have experience working in local businesses (i.e. restaurants, retail), even if it’s that one part-time job back in high school
- Plus if you have experience working with offshore and remote engineering teams
- Plus if you have experience with one or more of the following products: HRIS, Time and Attendance, Scheduling, Payroll
What the job involves
- Spend significant time with customers (and customer-facing teams) to listen and observe patterns/trends across their feedback and in the larger market
- Partner closely with sales, customer success, business development, to gather business requirements and translate them into functional requirements
- Build and own the relationship with new and existing job board partners (e.g. Indeed) with the help of BD team, and continue to make improvements in job board integrations
- Incorporate market and competitive research into our hypotheses
- Take a hypothesis driven, and rapid iteration approach in discovering potential solutions
- Be relentlessly resourceful and creative in finding solutions to customer problems; the most appropriate solution may be a very low-tech CSV export, for example
- Write detailed product specifications, including UX mockups, and detailed user stories
- Drive alignment and present product strategy across EPD, GTM, and all levels of the company
Our take
Recruiting new staff can be a slow andf frustrating process for HR teams, especially in industries that rely on hourly workers. Roles often need filling quickly, turnover can be high, and managers don't always have time to sit at a desk sorting through applications and emails. So, chasing candidates, scheduling interviews, and keeping people engaged can take hours each week, often delaying businesses , leaving them short-staffed when they need people most.
Workstream is a HR and hiring platform built specifically for hourly workers, with text messaging at the centre of how it works. Instead of forcing candidates to apply through long online forms or emails they may never check, Workstream allows people to apply, communicate, schedule interviews, and even complete parts of onboarding directly through their phone. And for employers, the platform automates most of the hiring process, so managers can source, screen, hire, and onboard staff with ease.
Whilst the company operates in a competitive HR software market, its carved out a strong position by focusing on deskless and hourly workers, a group often overlooked by traditional HR tools. Its growing list of customers also span quick-service restaurants, retail, logistics, and other hourly-heavy industries, and the company has attracted significant investor backing as a result. Competition may remain strong but Workstream's clear focus, steady expansion, and continued product adoption give it a strong foothold in the market.
