Our take
In an industry dominated by traditional recruiting agencies, Workfully looks to stand out by supplying a decentralized recruitment and upskilling marketplace. The idea is to enable recruiters to act as their own agency, tailoring the recruitment process so that they can attract, hire, train and coach the talent they specifically need.
Workfully provides two products, "Hiring" and "HireSkilling". The Hiring service depends upon the company's network of Talent Partners, and can be deployed in-house or externally, or clients can opt for the "Executive" version designed to help bolster their C-suite. HireSkilling, meanwhile, allows users to seamlessly hire and upskill talent in one program, essentially creating the talent they need and may have been struggling to source.
Having secured a promising seed round in 2023, Workfully is looking to both expand its team and grow its product offering. With the recruiting service industry worth around $700 billion, and ripe for innovation, there is certainly an opportunity for the company to find success.
