Our take
Digital-first, flexible work gained traction with the rise of ride-sharing apps, but finding automated, on-demand talent for industries like grocery stores, events, and bars was still a major challenge - until Zenjobs came along. The company has revolutionized the space by making it easier for businesses to access the temporary staff they need.
Now, Zenjob is competing with other VC-backed startups like Tempo and Flexy, all vying to become the go-to flexible work marketplace across Europe. Despite the growing competition though, Zenjob has built a solid reputation with both companies and employees, positioning itself as a potential leader in this fast-evolving sector.
To stay ahead, Zenjob has invested its funding in expanding across Europe, with a focus on the UK. With fierce competition, Zenjob has managed to hold its ground and continue attracting investor interest, ensuring it can keep up with the market's rapid growth.
